I tamed the cub last night and i have a few questions...

Whats the best tanker pet Glacial Walker or the Cub? I can solo tt 1-1 but can i do that with the cub at my lvl easy?

It has crappy atk at lvl 40 and i steal aggro from it everytime I atk so what skill should i invest on? and what skill should i remove?

    Hmmm grats on the cub tho! They're so adorable ^.^

    As for who's a better tank....I donno about the glacial walker, didn't have the patience to level it up to my level, but from what I can remember shadou cub was better at tanking than the crystalline magmite, it has more hp, but its attack is sorta weak, I stole aggro from it. Never tried using my cub as a tank in TTs, but more to lure with it being faster than the golem. But as for skills you should replace pounce imo with bash, pounce is not really that useful since you cant stun bosses and besides, if you keep levleing bash it will fix the aggro stealing I think.

    Oh and check out these stats: http://www.ecatomb.net/pwi/petstat.php

    They explain it a lot better than I do ;p

    I'm pretty sure the walker is the better tanker, between it and a cub.

    Nu, nu ;o

    Level both, bear has more hp so it stands more but the golem type of mobs are best tankers, better pdef a lot more attack and such! At level 90 the crystalline magmite has almost twice as more attack than the shadou. You can keep the shadou as secondary tank in case things go wrong, it can last more hits than the golem type pet and has more mdef than the golem, but overall the walker/magmite/golem type creatures make the best free tanks.

    Giving it bash will help it keep aggro and deal more damage - which is its main problem.

    It's a more well-rounded tank than the traditional golem, but I think that the new walker pretty much has it beaten.

    On the plus side: Pounce. Pounce is great!
