I Wanna Tame a Skeletal Dragon!

the necromancy mastery can let you control 2 skeletal dragons at once..
The necro mastery allowing skeletal dragon control was awesomely fun when 1st implemented. 
Then for some unknown reason they nerfed them. I rarely EVER saw anyone using them but still.... nerfed.
Instead of fixing the STILL existing problem of poison strike & wither causing them to attack each other,
skeletal dragon strength in combat as well as ability to take damage was reduced.
When & why this change occurred is a mystery since it was never addressed in any patch notes.
I can say for certain it occurred at some point because I used them to do solo Ilshenar spawns
but now they die to spawn easily.
I haven't used them in a long time as the debuff made them useless. I NEVER see anyone use them anymore.
Sad they made one of the best newly implemented necro spells that was a lot of fun totally worthless.

You should demand a rainbow skeletal dragon, it's more likely to happen...
I would but wither & poison strike would still cause them to attack each other and their 'suck' factor would probably increase.
Let necromancers bond undead tamed with the mastery. Put a stablemaster for tamed undeads in that crypt in Umbra. Doooo eeeeet.
While they have been nerfed and can't take the ammount of damage they used to be able to take skeletal dragons are still useful when running rat spawns...
I believe the wither problem has been resolved, but what definately remains is the exact same problem with poison strike. The splash damage from poison strike will cause other pets, summons etc. to auto attack the skel dragon.
Please fix this so it will only attack monsters and flagged players.
Also it is extremely annoying that the skeletal dragons go poof as soon as you loose connection. Also every once in a while they will not follow you while crossing server lines, dungeon entrances or going through moongates although the all follow me command had been given before, which again leads to them going poof.
A possible fix could be that they should be treated like a tamed pet as long as the necro mastery is active, so they will log out and back in with you. Once you switch masteries they should immediately go poof again. This would allow for much easier handling of these beasts and less frustration. I still believe that we shouldn't be able to stable them but at least let them log out and back in with us so we don't loose them everytime the AI, the computer, the ISP or the servers are acting up.

Yeah, Skeletal Dragons were pretty awesome. If you got a Skeletal Dragon with around 200 DEX, they would shred stuff apart, and since they leeched life with their melee hits, it also made them pretty survivable. Basically a Sampire in pet form. A 200 DEX Skeletal Dragon, was capable of taking on a fully trained, 4.2 GD. That triple damage proc against pets was awesome. Plus it's pretty cool having your own Dracolich.
The bug with pets AoE spells causing aggro and flagging issues, has been around since at least 1998, when WWs were able to cast Mass Curse.

i personally do not think dragon-kin should be tamed... ever.
slain, yes (particularly evil red dragons with massive hoards)
They are sentient creatures... is more akin to slavery than taming...
feel that way about unicorns as well - particularly rainbow maned unicorns farting glitter... </sarcasm>
