I have my veno at 62 and want to take advantage of double drops. It was kind of tough using my scorpion as the mobs hit pretty hard, so I'm going to use Glacial Walker.

Only question is should I use Bash or Flesh Ream, and why? Any input is appreciated. Please withhold any "get a herc nub" posts, thanks.

    If you can put both, would be better so you can have 2 skills that pull agro.

    "get a herc nub"
    Sorry... couldnt resist b:chuckle I was farming fb59 for rep around your level and did it with Golem, so Glacial Walker shouldn't have problems there.

    May I ask why it matters which skill you use? Imo, it shouldnt matter which skill you use on pet. I am more fan of Bash :)
    If it is for keeping aggro, then none of them will be able to keep aggro for a long time. Luckly, Glacial Walker has Roar, which steals aggro in the same moment.

    Well I'm not a very experienced venomancer, don't know very much about skills, pet skills, etc. Just wondering if one does appreciably more damage, I've heard people comparing the two as being similar.

    I'm intending to add bash to my walker to supplement its icicle. Flesh ream just has too long a cooldown.

    You should also think seriously about bringing an eldergoth marksman/sharpshooter along to lure/tank runners (the triocs in metal and the archers and rock throwers in earth. Right click active skill to turn it off, and these pets attack at range only. Of course, using only normal attacks, they don't even hold aggro as well as normally.)

    You won't be able to solo any of the bosses at your level, so plan on doing one valley, leaving and resetting the instance before going back in.

    bash is better to hold aggro and steal aggro from u when u get it.
    but I dont know if u can tank bosses at your lvl with a magmite or walker.
