I can't give a definitive answer, but I can say at best, it depends.

I can say for sure that my pet has never gained any advantage from Charge!

I'm guessing if the skill says "allies" then it does, if it is "party" then it does not. Reasons:

- I Will Avenge You - pet deaths count
- Heal Party - non-party allies (pets and npc's) are not healed

I'm going to have to challenge you on this one. My pet regularly gains an advantage from Charge. If you're not specifically looking for it, it can be quite easy to miss. Pets do move 20% faster than people naturally, so the additional boost from Charge doesn't stand out as much. However, if you do any amount of running with a pet you'll notice quite a difference between Sprint, which only affects you, and Charge, which affects both you and your pet.


As a general rule of thumb, if the skill targets "allies" it includes your pet. If it targets "party members" your pet isn't included. Therefore, Charge! and Sheilds Up! will help the pets as well, while Watch Yourself! and Aegis will not.
