MECHANIC: If you use Demonic Empowerment on your pet and then dismiss it and re-summon it at a later time, does it still have Demonic Empowerment active?

[Virtuosowow]

Demonic Empowerment is a Demonology talent and has a 1 minute cooldown (without talents affecting it). When you cast it, it puts Demonic Empowerment buff on your pet, which for Imp and Felguard will increase their dps done. If you cast Demonic Empowerment on your pet, then dismiss it and re-summon it at a later time, will your pet still have the Demonic Empowerment buff you cast earlier?

[Shukrat]

It doesn't.

• Summoned Imp, cast demonic empowerment.
• dismissed imp
• waited 30 seconds and resummoned imp
• No demonic empowerment still on imp.

However, if you resummon the imp within 30 seconds, it'll still have a little time remaining on the buff (ie: if the cooldown on demonic empowerment is 37 seconds remaining, the pet will have 7 seconds left of demonic empowerment)

it just ticks down while your pet is dismissed. if you pop DE and dismiss imp, then 10s later resummon, it will have 20s left on buff.
