Sorry if this is post seems like a " Why dont you just go and figure it out for yourself" deserving post. I have started doing that but thought i should get some info.

I am wondering what party skills and pet skills affect multiple pets. For example, when you read Call of Haste and Call of Protection, they sound like they should affect all pets in the party.

Call of Haste
Shout. For 30 seconds, your animal companions have a 25% faster attack speed and move 25% faster.

But it only seems to affect my own pet and not that of my heroes.

So, then I wondered about skills like Aegis, or Heal Party. Are pets party members - I dont think so.

And what about Orders - Like Order of Pain or order of the Vampire? Do they affect pets?

Skills like Winnowing, Greater conflagaration ? Do they affect pets?

Sorry for all the questions but my plan is related to a bit of RolePlaying in Guildwars. Myself and a buddy are going to make a group with four hero necros and two hero monks, everyone with secondary rangers. This will give us 8 Dire Wolves in our party and a bunch of minion masters. A party of vampires (Necros), Dark Monks (Dunk the dark monk as Mo/R) and Vampiric Melee (One of us as W/R with vampiric sword other as Ranger /Necro with Vamp bow).

This is not meant to make the most awesome team build, but just for roleplaying. We thought only one needed call of protection and call of haste, but now that does not seem true.

shouts only affect your pet.
order do not affect your pet
winnowing, greater conflagration works, since it works on any creature

Thanks for the prompt reply.

If shouts affect pets, sounds like a paragon / ranger is going to be needed to fill out the group.

Thanks again.

hmmm - it looks like only Ranger shouts affect pets. Tried Watchyourself and it did not affect pet

yeah i meant ranger shout, sorry for not precising it before.
pets are considered allies, not party members, therefore aren't afected by things like aegis/orders/shouts
