Try fighting a mob thats not 1 level below you.


Summon a dark blue pet, send it to a lb mob. You will see it works.


How the hell is a pet supposed to taunt something higher level than its self, when no taunting PC can?

Maybe the same way that according to this site that hasn't been updated since Velious, SK pets could taunt. As far as I recall the 'only taunt blue mobs' is relevant only to 51+ mobs.

Note On Pets:

Shadow Knight pets will never hold there own do to the fact the mob that is equal to the Shadow Knight , will always be higher than his/her pet but a pet is very important part of the SK battle eventhough the dmg from the pet is small he is still doing dmg and when he is doing dmg he is taking dmg so it lightens up the amount of dmg the SK is getting , it is important to taunt when useing a pet and let your pet taunt aswell when he does this it allows you to step back as a caster and lay a spell on the mob , make a hot key /pet report health , or hit F1 once and awhile to look at your pets health let him take some dmg but don't let him die unless you have to . The pet is a good decoy when a fight goes bad he gives you a chance to step back give fear one last try and run if needed . Magicians , Shamans & Necros always have there pet handy so should a Shadow Knight ..."Exceptions: City's & Dungeon's"..
