Carnie Dark Servant persists when Master Illusionist is killed

[Moniacal]

I remember the Dark Servant vanishing as soon as you killed the Master Illusionist it belonged to. This is also the case with the player Dark Servant. Currently, the Carnie's Dark Servant hangs around in denial for its maximum duration even after the Master Illusionist that created it is dead. Not sure how long this has been happening for, but it doesn't seem intentional as I couldn't find mention of it in the patch notes.

Pretty sure it's always been like that, along with the Phantasms.

They have always stuck around for a bit, though they will disappear after a little time.    They do count toward the badge though.

Except for MM and Controller pets, mob pets remain after their summoner/creator is vanquished. It's not just the Master Illusionists. You will also see it on things like Rain of Fire when used by mobs. If a player makes it and is defeated, the rain immediately ends, as does all other summoned effects from the player. From mobs though? They persist until they time out.

Yep, the Dark Servants have always persisted after the death of the MI.  Just like the Phantasm, or Legacy Chain's stoney pet, Ruin Mage's Earthquake (which is a pseudo-pet, but a pet nonetheless), Rularuu Overseers spawning extra eyeballs, and so many others.  🙂
