Don't usually pay that much attention to Dmc in that regard.....cause my pet and I do just dandy

Agreed Comp ... me and my pet do just fine as well, I guess it's all a matter of playing style, which is why these things are important to us hunters

well i suppose that would all depend on the type of pet used, for instance, Aquantis elite ........ is it worth it to have pets at lvl 19 for this, ...IMO yes ... more damage than your pooch and a little tuffer to kill for some, just as quick with it's attacks, and it still leaves me points to use other effective things

if pet have 100armor than you are adding only 50 with skin of the beast on... and if pet have 1000 armor than you add 500 with skin of the beast on 1... soes pet lvl 41 have same armor as 51lvl pet? imo no :>

One advantadge of using a lvl 4 pet is that a lot of opponents will just ignore it, seeing it as nowhere near as much threat as the hunter. This is of course true, but it therefore tends to allow the pet to get in a lot of 'freebies' as it's soundly ignored by most.

I used a dark beastly wolf for quite a while and it was definitely an effective pet, esp, vs mages and archers. Of course that was before taunt and the lessening of pet dmg. All pets seem to do less dmg now, esp the cats- who used to do a LOT more dmg before. Now i just skip pets altogether...i maxed tricks instead.

Aye - this bummer has forced me to drop pets yet again

EDIT:

Also - Zarkits are just a strong as they were b4. I have a lvl 40'sih conj and when leveling - still hits silly hard

Vroek · 01-18-2008, 07:38 PM

Zakrits are effected as well, but still very powerful.
Almost all hits i get are around 200-400 with 60% protection i used to get some hits for about 600 before the update.

I havn't seen any 600hp hits on myself by zarkits since update like before it, but maybe i've just been lucky so far.
