Effects

If the Lore-master has a Pet summoned, this skill makes them take 30% less damage for a duration of time, and commands them to perform their Major Skill. Major skills are the same between Yellow-line and Blue-line.

When this skill is used, your Pet performs the following skill, depending on the summoned pet:

Pet	Pet Skills	Category	Cooldown	Range
	Roaring Challenge	AoE Taunt	50s	40m
	Fear No Darkness	AoE Cure + Heal + Buff	50s	40m
	Feral Strike	AoE Damage + DoT	50s	5.2m
	Bursting Root	Damage + Fellowship Manoeuvre	50s	40m
	Fan the Flames	Melee AoE + DoT	50s	4m
	Unbridled Fury	Melee AoE	50s	15.2m
	Nature's Gift	Heal AoE	50s	35m

When the Lore-master is specialized in Master of Nature's Fury, the skill becomes the below version:

Major Call - Harrying Flanks

30m Range
Fast
Tactical Skill
Call upon beasts of the wild to flank and harry your foe, applying the Flanked effect and reducing your own threat.
... Beleriand Damage
Significantly reduces threat
Cost: [135 at Level 150] Power
• Cooldown: 1m

This Red-line skill applies the  Flanked! effect to the targeted enemy. It does not interact with the Call to Pet skills.

Trait Interactions

• The set bonus  Naturally Armed in the Keeper of Animals trait tree makes this skill apply To Arms to the fellowship.
  
• The trait  Prepare for War in the Keeper of Animals trait tree makes this skill further reduce the incoming damage of the commanded Pet by up to 20% (max effect: x0.5 Incoming Damage).
  

Tactical Information

Lore-masters should use this skill as much as possible to optimize their pet effect uptime. Lore-masters use this ability differently depending on their specialization:

• Keeper of Animals: Blue LM's will usually keep one pet out, so this skill should be used off cooldown, and pets should not be swapped.
• Master of Nature's Fury: Red LM's use this skill to gain a Flank to be consumed by Staff Strike. Most LMs will use this skill right before they use that skill, when Minor Pet Command is already on cooldown.
• The Ancient Master: Yellow LM's can do some different things with their pets, depending on what is most needed by the group. But, they should use this skill off cooldown, so make sure you have the right pet out when you want to use this skill. The default skill is Nature's Gift or one of Lynx/Sabre-tooth Cat for damage, unless something like an AoE taunt, FM, or raidwide cleanse is needed.
