I used one of my new aa, i think it was natures guardian, and it wouldnt summon the pet, it wanted a body like i was a necro and the ones i selected would not work.

was I bugged? or does it actually require a dead animal or something and if so what types work?

Nature's Guardian AA summons a "spirit" pet if you wanna call it something... It's a little bear that attacks a mob for you... It's set on a timer so the bear will only whack the mob momentarily, then poof.... As you go up in rank, the longer Boo Boo hits the mob...

Nature's Guardian has a short range cast of 150 feet.... your must have a mob in target and you will summon a bear similar to pet spell but it will do about 300 max damage??? I cannot remember what every level of AA increases the damage by but the first level allows the bear to stay for 30 secs, 2nd 45 secs, 3rd 1 min, then every level after that raises attack power ... I think last level gives close to 800 max per hit for 1 min

Edit
The recast time of this is about 21-22 min and you can have it attack one mob unless u get another mob to hit u b4 the bear goes away, another note is that one hit to the bear makes it go away .... so if u hoping for it tank for u no luck there and be careful using in raids where the mobs do Wild Rampages

You have to target a mob, then hit the hotkey.

Does this stack with Dire Charm pet?

When the aa is maxed the bear will hit for over 700. Over the course of a short battle it will add about 100 dps give or take.
