Casuals - What Pets do You Use?

Norala - Dreamweaver

I say "casuals" because all the serious/competitive Venos will say one thing: Baby Hercules.

So ladies, what battle pets do you use? Serious Venos, post the pets you use for the lulz from time to time too. Links to screenshots welcome.

Here's mine, Seamonster Guardian.

Zvyn - Heavens Tear

Kowlin, always been one of my favorites, and he's just sexy.

One of those knight thingies. They're L70 in the swamp, but they changed their names now (Headless Horsemen, what a laugh). You can also find them in FB69/89 Brim. They look like Feng from TT2-#. I loved summoning that pet just to freak out the squad for a couple seconds. Worked almost every time.

My snow hare. He's still a good pet even if he's retired.

Waterfal - Sanctuary

I'm a casual player with main pet herc :x
But I love using my lil' frogling I used to have an adalwolf pet too ^^ the green ones you tame at like lvl 13 I used it up untill lvl 70 or so and absolutely adored it big ugly green monster xD

Desdi - Sanctuary

I've been a casual player for most of my PWI life. I do have a Baby Hercules which I only bought at lvl89 in September 2010 but despite that I still use my other pets because it's not fun using just one or two pets only.

Right now my pet bag is the following:

Celestial Sting lvl89 ( no name) - tamed in eden for ranged pulls, mainly for annoying mobs or mobs that are hard to pull with a non-ranged pet.

Ninetailed Firefox lvl89 ( Alpix [after the ancient greek word for fox; alopix] )- tamed just because it's pretty! It comes with a nice skill set as well and a pretty good attack. It's actually higher than that of the Kowlin's and it has the second best speed in-game (for land pets).

Asgard Plumpfish lvl85 ( sushi ) - used for water mobs, it does pretty good at water bosses,too.

Baby Hercules lvl100 ( Atlas [named after the poor guy that was punished to hold the earth])

Kowlin lvl99 ( Deva ) - my main DDer and puller, I have maxed all the debuff skills and taught it Claw (thanks to a special someone ) to increase its DD power

Shaodu Cub lvl92 ( Dodo ) - which I started using at lvl 70 when I finally managed to tame it x_x it was my trusted tank pet for a long time. I have many sweet memories attached to it and thus I refuse to to give it away. I still use it to tank sometimes for fun. It's cute and adorable. Plus, it's good to have a back up tank, especially since it has Roar and it has saved squads when Hercules couldn't.

Windwalking Piggy lvl84 ( Cupcake ) - my air pet tank, I tried so hard to tame that pet until my best friend managed to do so. I rarely use it now since air mobs are not very common at my level range. Many memories attached to it as well.

Pets I used to use:

Flogling lvl4x ( Froggy ) - which I mostly used with my LA/HA Venomancer experiment. She was tanking mostly so I switched to Kowlin later (called Midnight) for DD power.

Neolithic Wolf lvl7x ( Sunday ) - another pet with attached memories to it. It was a little thing between my friends and I at the time. We had all tamed one and named them after the days of the week. Even some faction members did it later. Too bad all of them have quit so I'm the only one left with the wolf. I have it in my bank and I refuse it throw it away. Maybe I'll put it back in my bag if I max it (right now I have 9 slots). It was my main pet for a long time, until I tamed the Shaodu Cub.

Snow Hare lvl6x ( Puff ) - I remember how hard I tried to tame that little rare pet. It was the coolest thing to have at the time. It was my main pet for a long time.

Antelope Pup lvl6x ( Chisana ) - I thought it was a rare pet at first and bought it from a Catshop XD luckily it wasn't too expensive for my pocket at the time. I absolutely loved this little antelope and I used it a lot along with my Snow Hare. It was the pet I used when I tried to solo FB19 Untamed for the first time at lvl 43. I will never forget how proud I was that day b:chuckle. I don't have her anymore, I wish I had kept her.

Florafang Guard lvl6x ( forgot what name I gave her >.<) - I didn't really use this pet so much. I did like it a lot but I'd usually use my Antelope and later my Wolf.

And a variety of wolf pets throughout my PWI life until I stuck with the Neolithic one.

Vitenka - Dreamweaver

Before the herc - Magmite. Nowadays I'd pick up a glacial I suppose.
The shadau cub is also a piece of loveliness from time to time - goes fast, stuns, resists magic better than the magmite. But lacks punch.

The kowlin is shiny, fights like a buzzsaw. Mines named 'suicidal' for a reason, however.

I've also got a firefox. Which isn't actually much use - but is very very shiny.


Air pet: I used to use a foxwing. The pinnar, I think.

Blame the game for not having male Venos in the first place.


Oh btw, I got a Cloud Skatefish and one of those weird water pets from the TB area. Haven't had a good chance to level it though, cause *points to level*

Soon though. Soon.

Kieran - Dreamweaver

My pet bag:

Herc (100) - for obvious reasons
Dark Wanderer (97) - TT DD pet for times when I'm not tanking with herc (yep I need to level him to 100...)
Eldergoth Marksman - my original pulling pet (around level 90ish right now)
Cactus from Eden (89) - pulling pet I use when i know it will suicide (and I don't feed the cactus)
Armored bear (97) - used occasionally for his stun + threaten skills
Skatefish (43) - I hate leveling flying pets as you can probably tell from this one's level...
Flying pet from above brim (85) - forgot the name of this one...used in case where skatefish is too low
Plumpfish (82) - water pet...I can't really remember last time I used her tho

LenieClarke - Heavens Tear

my pet bag's very boring, i'm afraid.

glacial walker, 71; main tank. i put threaten on it for better tanking.
dark wanderer, 71; land DD. has howl, and i need to level up his pierce, for increasing my own DDing when he's out. these first two see the most use.

eldergoth marksman, 71; range tank, mostly, and sometimes puller.
cloud skatefish, 71; i could spend another 400k leveling up its bashes one more step each. maybe i will.

tabby plumdrop, 4x. was a gift from a former guildie, and i'm still trying to work out what i'll do with it. whenever i'm short on other things to do, i drop into the cube and put a few more levels on it. i like it's unobtrusive size and high speed, but its skill set...

tortoise everlasting, 5x. it's in my pet bag. when i run the 69 cave, i try to get this one out before the other squaddies kill undying hornshell. not good for much else other than a bash or two at that boss.

oh, and a land mount, the plain old "nine"tails.

Bellarie - Raging Tide

I've changed my pet bag around a few times over the course of my veno's life.

My current pets:

Jareth - Gnome Saboteur, I've used him since I first tamed him at lvl 17. Decent DD, nice magic defense, and his nice evasion stat combined with the accuracy debuff of befuddling mist make him a decent physical tank as well. My main pet, I will never get rid of him.

Morrigan - Scorpiontail Voodooist, I only just today finally caught her up to me in lvls(she had been sitting at lvl 50 for the longest time) Her stats are only so-so, but she's a fun pet to use, and she's sexy.

Varuna - Iceprison Wraith, I just added him to my collection, so he's only lvl 21. He has a well-rounded stat growth, and he's really interesting to look at.

Empyrea - Dazzlewing Mothran, my air pet, nice stats, started at lvl 80 so I didn't have to waste weeks and resources grinding her up. Plus she's fun.

I also have a lvl 71 Riverside Tuskmoor named Jimbei, a 61 Tauroc Valorian named Billy, a 62 Bloodthirsty Adalwolf named Logan, and a 60 Eldergoth Marksman named Hank. I use Hank occasionally for pulling purposes, and the rest for the occasional tanking. I have an asgard plumpfish, but I'll be replacing it with one of the two lvl 87 undines when I hit that lvl.

Zoe - Heavens Tear

The pets I have or have had at one time that I use just for the fun of it:

Ninetailed Firefox (Mozilla) - I pull this one out in eden during the ninetails boss to try to scare/confuse everyone.b:chuckle

Celestial Sting: Used for pulling and ranged DD when needed vs stuff like Soul Hunter

Armored Bear: Veno friend of mine found it wandering around but wasn't high enough level to tame it so she called me to the area and I got it.

Nivastock Shieldbearer: I like summoning this in small areas and scaring people with it since its so darn big.b:laugh

Tabby Plumdrop: Got it as a gift from the same friend who told me where the wild armored bear was for manufacturing her equipment.

Jaden Quingfu: I would pull this out and halt it on anyone I found meditating, telling them I was bugging them.b:chuckle

I'm sure there are more I just can't remember them all.

Jeneti - Heavens Tear

Smasher lvl 65 A Crystalline Magnimite ... He's mah tank
and
Shruiken lvl 60 A kowlin I use him for luring and DD

Hazuki_chan - Archosaur

My pet bag is kinda boring *w* I usually get pets that I need not that look cool because I don't have too much space in it either way.

My main tanky tank would be my glaciar or MiniHurc *w*

My awesomeness TW pet is the sawfly of course (MiniNix )

Then I have my tank for the blackhole OHT daily and pulling pet which is the eldergoth marksman...

The rest I keep in my bag most of the time *w* I also have my Anniversary mount .

Nuku_Nuku - Raging Tide

Phys Def: Glacial Walker
Magic Def: Sea-monster Guardian
Water: Abysmal Turtle
Air: Petite Sawfly
Back-up land pet: Armored Bear
They take time to level up but it is worth it. if u don't have the time just get a Glacial Walker at first, than any water/air pets u can at your level.

Eccy - Harshlands

NoName (Celestial Sting) - I didn't read through all of the posts above me but if any veno reads this GET ONE OF THESE THINGS! For so long I struggled with FC heads until I stumbled upon this little miracle. You can kill 3-4 heads a spawn with one of these if you attack as well. What a little lifesaver this thing is.

Pimp (Hercules) - I use this right now as my main DD pet in instances, occasionally he WILL steal aggro from either the barb or the aps DD tanking which is great for giggles. I also use him for GB quest because I get sick of my nix being stuck in the hills.

HotSauce (Nix) - If I was really into PK I'd rant on and on about how much I love my nix. But I'm not, although she is a life saver in TW; mostly she gets on my nerves cause she is stuck somewhere.. even in TW.

Nirvana (Varicose Scorpion) - As his name implies, this little guy is my experiment. Currently all I do is stack keys for Nirvana and level my cleric so I decided the make him for Nirvana. He's still only in the 50's but hopefully it'll be time well invested when he's 100 and will potentially make a good DD as I have heard mixed reviews on him. b:cute

SashaGray - Heavens Tear

celestial sting for pulling

nix for everything else

herc pretty much stays in bag, i find pets to be useless in engame instances as a DD, especially nirvana, since the bosses usually chase the pet when they aoe seal

Same here for me.

Nothing like some hot Gnome-on-fox yiffing. b:dirty

Shoshanne - Dreamweaver

Current:

Overclocked Mechrab - dd pet, also used him as all-around land pet from ~40 to 80. I replaced pierce with threaten.

Armored Bear - tank pet, though I also use him under circumstances I know my chrab won't survive. I maxed bash on him because of his low atk.

Windwalking Piggy - air pet, have also used to tank a little

Celestial Plumpfish - water pet

(Mount: Blazing Tempest)

Past:

Shallowhirl Tortoise - gave up on leveling that and got plumpfish as soon as I hit 80

Petite Sawfly - found it difficult to level due to it's low hp, and always had my heart set on a piggy. My friend gave me the piggy, and I absolutely love it.

Snowhare - given to me by same friend as piggy. Used the snowhare until I got an antelope pup

Antelope Pup - used as mag def but didn't use much except to tank Hercule Trioc lol so it lost it's spot to my bear.

various minkii and kitten types

Future:
Eldergoth Marksman for fc heads
Possibly a puppy or kowlin for pulling

SNuppzH - Harshlands

ECCCCCCCYYYYYY Hot Sauce still giving you trouble? b:chuckle

(It's Sloth )

Hmmm, my casual pet has always been my Shaudu Cub. It's so cute. Also pounce is fun for PvP in non-flight enabled instances.

Xamani - Lost City

I like to tame unusual pets just to see what they're like. And I just don't like the looks of most of the popular pets. Long ago I accepted that I would never really be able to rely on my pets to take damage or hold aggro the way most venos do. I add skills to the pets I end up liking and keeping.

I've cycled through a lot of pets, but right now I use these:

Steelhide Grimalkin (can't think of a good name yet): She's a fairly decent tank, moves fast, doesn't require a lot of healing, does moderate damage. For soloing, she is the pet I use most.

Weeping Scorpion Queen (squeakie): She's bright red! High damage but requires more healing. In a squad I tend to use her, since I usually end up with high-levels in squad and my pet wouldn't have a prayer of holding aggro, so I might as well go for supplemental damage.

Snow Hare (bunicula): I use her on magic mobs or for luring. But mostly I keep her because she was a gift from a friend who no longer plays.

Cloud Skatefish (nimbus): Air pet. Pretty squishy but good at doing damage. And just so cute I smile whenever I see her.

Wicked Teeth: Water pet. I tamed him mostly because I can't stand turtles. He's pretty tough, especially considering I usually set him on mobs well above his own level.

A guildmate gave me a Kowlin that I use sometimes, but so far I haven't found much that he's good at.

Just for fun, I try to tame one of every scorpion, cat, and canid in the game to compare them. The interesting thing is that all scorpions seem to be essentially the same (assuming you bring them to the same level) but the cats have a huge variety of different stat profiles. Wolves all seem to be generalists with no particular strong or weak points. The other canids are more interesting and varied. I used a Mastiff of the Great Divide as a tank on magic mobs for quite a while.

TattooAngel - Archosaur

My pet bag pretty much consists of this:

Armored Bear (Max)- He's my main tank for about everything there is to tank. I learned Flesh Realm and unlearned Bash on him. He'll also be getting a Consume and a Devour skill when I can get my hands on Consume.

Tabby Plumbdrop (Jacky)- He's such a good luring pet, and I named him after my boyfriend (sort of). I keep him because my boyfriend's veno also has a Tabby Plumbdrop with my name.

Kowlin (Cairo)- He's the fastest puller out there, and he looks so cool.

Sawfly (no name yet)- My flying pet.

Emerald Quingfu (no name yet)- He's that level 1 buggy you catch in the starter area. I'm experimenting on him, and he's probably going to make a really great tank.

Sharptooth Wolfling (no name yet)- He's my little starter pet, and I'm not throwing him away.

Frogling (no name yet)- I use this little guy to catch rare pets.

The rest of my pet bag includes my 3 mounts. I still have tons of unused eggs in my bank that have yet to be trained.

FrigidDawn - Sanctuary

Sometimes, I miss my old veno's maxed pet bag. Came in really handy with the massive pet updates on the TB expansion. But here's my current set up <.<

Varicose Scorpion ~ Needles ~ 30

Currently retired from the pet bag until I can get 100 fungus...;__; I like him because he's bluuuuuueeeee.

Glacial Walker ~ Squishy ~ 49

Yeah, I know, EVERYONE has glacials now. But he was one that I tamed during the first week of the TB expansion on my old venomancer...and he's special to me. I usually only use him for regular grinding, because he hits hard, has roar, and just won't die. And he's BLUEE.

Cloud Skatefish ~ Pancake ~ 45

Oh Pancake. Another one that I tamed way back when the TB expansion came out, he's now my open world grinding champ. Since most air mobs I grind on are either wood (vipons), or metal (Pterosaurs), he has elemental bashes for both of them. I'm sure his slow will come in handy someday, too. Plus, he looks awesome flying behind me on my purple manta flying mount XD

He's also LESS squishy than the Sawfly, at the cost of hitting just a bit less. Works for me.

AND HE'S BLUE.

IcePrison Wraith ~ Spooky ~ 35ish

b:chuckle The 3rd and final of my favorite TB expansion pets that I tested, this one is purely for the lols. He doesn't hit very hard, but he's pretty fast, and has good accuracy. I mostly use him for pulls, or debuffing with peirce if in fox form in bh. Plus he sounds cool, and yes, he's also blue. XD

Will be leaving my pet bag when I reach 60 to make room for....

Kowlin ~ Nibbles~ 60

=P A gift from my faction leader, whom is a fellow veno. I don't think he'll be as epic as her Maugrim, but still, it's a pet I've been wanting to have for a LONG time. Currently trying to get to 60 so I can give him a test drive. OH, and hes...better than blue. He's PURPLE. 8D

vampirenite

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention the Cuddy Pup. Ok his base stats are so so, but leveled to 90 and with maxed Bash and Flesh Ream, I've been able to take out lvl 95 mobs easily. (oh and it is fun to see the WTF reaction in duels when the tiny puppy takes out my opponent)

Besides it is so cute how fast and little he is. I mainly use him to lure in dungeons, since I do have a Herc.

I'm also starting to play around with my newly tamed Cactus from Eden for ranged lures and attacks. Amazing how far away from the boss I can be with that Cactus... Celestial something.

Yeah...it was so hard to get that little bear! At the same time, it was kinda funny how we would all gather there and stuff b:chuckle
Too bad you quit Venomancer, but as long as you're having fun with whatever class you chose...that's what matters!


@vampirenite- I personally never even visited the Cuddly Pup spawn. I don't like dogs that much (I'm a fox, cat and wolf lover b:laugh). Although if that Pup would have been a Shiba Inu.....now I wold have tamed that b:dirty (that breed is the one and only dog I ever liked xD)
