Just added to Test server notes for January 26, 2009:

Silk Robe of Summoning, Aramid Robe of Voidcaller, and Staff of Elemental Mastery no longer function on swarm pets, but should stack with other pet effects better than they did previously.

LOL Staff of elemental mastery was effecting swarms...but doesnt apply to main pet....to fucking funny.

So true. I had taken them out of the shit bin and had been using them for the past 2 weeks.

Seems they be going back to the shit bin soon.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Staff was applying to main pet. The only broken part I was aware of was the +125 spell damage didn't stack with any other +pet spell damage items.

It just didn't add it at all, even if it was your only item equipped. It did apply the Casting/Reuse though.

My tests showed that it did, however, the only gear equipped was my myth and the staff. It *didn't* show up under spell mod, but it was adding the 125 damage to the spells. The second I added in another item that added +pet spell damage the 125 stopped applying and it only counted the new item (which consequently did show up under spell mod (items with effects like Power Flux 3)). The rest of the effect stacked fine though (reuse, cast speed, hp/power).

Ill pop over to test when I get home and check to see if it stacks the +spell damage now too.. Would be nice if it did.

Staff is working as it should be on Test as far as I can tell. And as a bonus, it no longer has an icon in your maintained window that counts down.

I posted this in a thread that got 0 replies...the staff doesnt show in the mod but does actually adjust the dmg.

Damn, that tier 2 shard robe is pretty much shitty now. Now it will be hard to choose between that and the shiny metallic robe. What do you guys think? Is it even worth wearing now?
