What is the best pet-evolved skill?

Please advice... thanks f:thanks

Desdi - Sanctuary

You'd have to be more specific as there are different "best skills" depending on what you're looking for: pet tanking, pet DD, pet support, pet defence, PvP pet etc.

Also, are you talking about the mood skills or the special/exclusive skill unique to each pet after they evolve?

Me too.. but Desdi and the other Venos are really good at helping piece what I've missed together (1.5 years here btw).

The skills in the link are not absolute as you can always choose to go with a more defensive mood on a DD pet or something more offensive on a tank pet (eg. evolved Hercules with Claw and one of the moods I listed for DD pets).

For starters, however, I'd recommend following what I posted in the link until they become more accustomed to the whole pets-with-mood-skills thing. After that point you can check my spreadsheet (in my evolution guide) to start personally picking moods that you like best and customizing your pets completely to what you wish.

Ms. Desdi, i would like to ask how you will notice if the boss need to purge or soul generation?

Desdi - Sanctuary

Are you talking about any specific boss or just bosses in general?
Also, are you Sage or Demon?

Sage Soul Degeneration is used as a starter before Amplify Damage to take down 20% of HP. Demon one has very few uses in PvE and PvP, besides using it on the enemy TW crystal.
Bosses that have the Ironheart heal icon should be purged, Soul Degeneration doesn't really work there. I usually use Soul Degeneration when we're holding off a boss (waiting for someone to get there before we kill it) so it won't regenerate HP. That's pretty much it.

Purge is used when the boss buffs itself. You'll see icons like magic defence buff (likes when a cleric buffs you), physical defence buff (like a Demon Blademaster buff), increased attack buff (like Barbarian buff) etc. you just need to get to know the icons. You can find them here.

Ms. Desdi, i'm a sage veno...yes, i'am talking about in general... because sometimes i really don't know when i use purge and soul generation in bosses but amplify i knew already how to used...by the way, thanks for the information...b:thanks

Well LolaElv, if you have sage soul degeneration, you use this as soon as you start any boss fight, as it lowers the boss's hp by 20%, a nice opener
Then you amp after that, because people usually spark and hf at the start of a boss fight, and amping 'amplifies' this effect. see what I did there? b:avoid
then amp whenever you can.
As for purge... well, if you keep targetting the boss, you can see its hp going down as we kill it. Below the hp bar, there are the buff and debuff icons. Use purge if the boss buffs itself, this can be the invoke/BB symbol, the +magic/physical defence cleric buff symbol, IH symbol, +magical/physical attack cleric/barb buffs, bramble, etc.
Basically purge the boss if you can see any buffs appear below its hp bar. If you have sound on, many bosses make noises when they buff themselves, ready for your purges. Many older bosses add the 'levelup' graphic on the ground around them, making it really obvious that they're buffed.

Lazyneko, thanksb:thanks

Ms. Desdi, i have a little question but this is not related anymore in venomancer...
Do you have any idea how to change the title name in forum?

BungaSakura - Raging Tide

if you want free pet and tanky. u can try to have walker. i think walker is the best free tanky. especially with the stat and the skill from evolve.

LolaElv - Heavens Tear

BungaSakura thanks b:thanks

Desdi - Sanctuary

Changing titles can be requested here but it may take a while.
Our current CM is temporary (despite having been here for months) and manages multiple titles so he's kinda busy.
