Tame Beast does not work at all

it casts and does the animation but no wisps appeared to capture beast. also im running all lightning skills on ritualest and there is no electrocute build up.

I have been able to use it just fine and have built up a stable of beasts with various buffs I swap out as needed. Are you sure you are casting it against rare beasts? Undead, contructs or anything not a beast or rare wont work no matter if it lets you cast.

I finally got it to work. I am using it against rares. I have been having to get them down to almost no life before it will work. I also noticed it dont work on every rare. i've tried on a lot of different ones and sometimes it just won't work. I am a little disappointed with the results though. a companion should be able to do as much damage to other monsters as it does to me. just a couple hits and a monster can merc us. but barely does any damage to other monsters once you have it as a companion. I think that's lame they should not be nerfering the damage it does as a comp, it should be able do the same damage as it did before you converted it to a companion it seems a waste of time and spirit its basically a cosmetic pet as far as i have seen so far. I have yet to find one that actually does anything worth using the spirit and skill spot for.

You want mobs with Auras that will buff you, not for Spectre-like DPS. You also must kill the targetted mob within 9 seconds,IIRC to capture it. I don't know if some rares or named can't be tamed.

I think the idea with free auras is ok, but not the idea of ggg, because the skill tree have a lot of stuff, that will buff your pet with damage. If they don't want that, it's a waste of skill tree points. If you don't invest anything you have a free aura buffer. Some auras like unkilliable are a little op. I use 2 companions. One with this aura and one with healing aura. It's very comfortable to play with all notes in companions.
The damage is ok, but the attack speed is very low. Maybe one with haste aura will help.
The notes say you and your companion get a buff. So the idea is that both get anything is another than the minions. So they are weaker than minions, but the redistriction is you can only have 1 or 2. They should do the same damage as minions do, because the number is limited.

I found out not all beasts are working. e
G. The witch (mini boss) in act 1 is a beast, but you can't tame her. Also the people in act 3 with snakes around the neck are not working.
