Is the Nightblade's shadow image considered a pet?

I ask this because I want to know if I can use the Necropotence set with my magblade, thanks!

And it seems the buffs give priority to players now before going on the pets!

Yes they do. ZOS did a good job there. Tested it multiple times with mates.

So basically pets don't steal buffs anymore and are thus acceptable in raids?

No they dont! And seeing bosses cant kill the shades necro might become a great posibility for setup!

I'm actually very intrigued by this. I'm really curious how Necropotence compares to stuff like Julianos and BSW, if I'm to seriously consider it.

Juliannos max magicka, spell crit (7% total iirc) and 300 dmg. Change that to max magicka stats and it's equivalent is: 4000 magicka and 7% crit (im gonna say the crit is worth 3.5% dmg or roughly 1.5k magicka) so a total of roughly 5.5k magicka.

Necro gives almost 7k max magicka. So Im pretty confident Neco will net better results (ignoring crit modifiers)

Oh yes, they do. The precise situation I detailed in my PTS thread is in effect on live: Cast a buff where there aren't enough players to receive it, and the NPC's will. Buffs like SPC which have max concurrent charges are now locked out from hitting players until they wear off the summons, and then you can try again. Even in 4 man stuff, I've had situations where two Shades and a Matriarch get SPC'd rather than the 4 players.

Did a quick test and the buffs seem to give priority on players before pets... gonna have to see when the pets do get a buff if recasting the pets will give the buff to other players. Gonna try and test it this week in a vet trial.
