    Nixes can't really AOE grind. 1, the person would need to get a reflect skill book for it to be useful, only grinding the nix on melee/phys mobs and 2. it doesn't have the kind of hp/pdef/buffs to allow that. I grind up there myself with both my cleric and veno and I never see nixes aoe grind since it's rather pointless.

    Then we get into how annoying it is to grind on ground mobs with a nix at all given how often it gets stuck in the ground. I'm pretty skeptical of what you're saying.

    Anyhow, the best benefit for nixes in my grinding experience up there are harpy cabals and firebaths. More xp.

    7 times out of 10 if i pass spiders, there is a veno there grinding with a nix, using the "I fly on mount nix attacks land mob trick" (after reading spoons post on flying pets and water mobs not sure if its legal tbh) .... So be skeptical all you want but its true

    its not an AOE skill if u have to send pet to each mob and kill the mobs separated,u could do 1 by 1 same way,only reason why venos send pet to each of them is cuz they can keep healing the nix then without spiders poisoning the veno.

    Since spiders use ranged poison attack, they are not affected by the attack thing Spoons was talking about. The reason venos will take the 50% damage penalty to attack a ground mob from the air while using a air pet is because the darn pets tend to get stuck on the ground when used on the ground.

    Veno grinding on spiders is not the same as veno AOE griding on spiders. (note part in bold)

    ermm yes but I read both yours and Janus's post's and conceding its not AOE grinding, which is why I changed the word to grinding.

    its not really aoe grinding,since u have to send pet to each mob and kill every mob separated..just they like doing it few at once.only aoe skill is parastic nova which got longer channel then any other skill and it costs 2 sparks which venos prefer to save so they can cast soul transfusion or bramble hood if they are close to death.
    also,u forgot again that nix costs over 70mil atm,if ur gonna use petite sawfly u have to do 1 by 1 mob,cuz of low hp and pdef or ur pet wont survive and u just gonna waste pet food.

    Noxious Gas is also an AoE skill.

    As for "AoE grinding" with a herc or nix, I can sometimes understand it with a herc and reflect. But it's way too easy to take aggro from herc, so the killing speed with a herc may not be as fast as a Veno with a nix (which may be why they may be seen using it as compared to another pet).

    I really haven't seen a Veno AoE grind besides the slow herc + reflect method.

    yeah but using noxious 1st we have to send pet to attack each mob or it wont hit them all,only parastic is enough to target one mob and its gonna hit all other mobs around too.
    gm's need to give us more skills b:surrender

    Is this 2x EXP or 2x Drops, EXP, and Spirit?

    In game announcement merely stated EXP.

    I look at it this way...IRL people get cost of living raises when prices soar (usually) This is our PWI cost of playing raise since everything more than x4 the amount it use to be.

    Kudos guys!


    EDIT: Please try not to double the TT bosses this time..2 in a room looks...scarier than it is =P
