Development
Familiar was added in BlizzCon 2010 as a Tier 7 skill, presumably responding to some need of the Wizard. Unfortunately, it was at too high a level to play.
Beta
Skill tiers were removed shortly before the beta started in September 2011, and Familiar became a level 27 skill. It was moved to level 24 during the beta, and when the skill system was once again overhauled for the Beta Patch 13 in February 2012, Familiar was classified as a Conjuration skill and moved back to level 27. For March's Beta Patch 14, Familiar was dropped to level 22.
Familiar has always been too high level to play, so there are no gameplay videos of it.
