So I have gotten myself a baby herc. and wish to make it as good as posible.

My question is, is it better to learn bash or roar. which holds argo better?

and the herc. is sick. I killed five monster attacking me today... just jumped up on a house and healed it.

    Careful with jumping up on top of houses, that can often cause your pet to unsummon.

    Anyway - stick with pounce until your mid 60s at least, and then consider bash. Pounce does pretty much everything roar does, only better.

    Just to clarify.
    Bash generates aggro and works very well with Herc's reflect.

    Roar resets aggro. It's good to use when somebody steals aggro from the herc. With Roar you'll get it back but it's not an attack like Bash is.

    Since you can afford only one aggro skill Bash is the best option.

    It is said that Flesh Ream generates more aggro than Bash if you compare the skills but Flesh Ream has a longer cooldown (15 seconds) while Bash's cooldown is pretty short( 8 seconds) therefore you can spam Bash more often than Flesh Ream and generate more aggro in total.

    EDIT: I forgot to mention that pet skill Flesh Ream has nothing to do with Barbarian Flesh Ream. They don't work in the same way. Barbarian Flesh Ream is designed to steal aggro instantly (as long as the level is up to date) while pet one just generates some aggro and causes bleed effect.

    It's not that barb flesh ream works different than pet flesh ream, it's that barb flesh ream generates a much greater amount of aggro with a much shorter cooldown.

    I see. Though I still consider that they don't work in the same way since Barbarian one generates more aggro/shorter cooldown.
