Cub vs Frog and Crytsal vs Volcanic vs Torgrim

second one is crystaillnes for the win


first one unknown i also wanna know

Yes, the stat differences will make a difference. Will it be huge? No. Will it be noticable? Yes.

The other thing to realize is that, while 300-400K may be a lot of money, you can always get more. There is NO way to make up for the stat difference, ever.

To put it another way, the Torgrin brave starts out with better skills, but by late level, their skills will end up equal anyway (you'll spend the money). The Crystaline Magmite, however, will always have better stats.

No, a 0.1% difference in damage output or damage taken (between crystalline and volcanic) is not noticeable.

To notice a difference that small statistically, you would need a sample size of at least a million hits. Any fewer than that and you couldn't be sure if the variation in damage was due to randomness or due to a difference in the stats. If you were constantly fighting mobs which did 0.8 hits per second, it would take over two weeks of nonstop fighting to reach 1 million hits. You Will Not Notice A Difference.

The difference in coin to get the crystalline and volcanic to parity in skills is 100k. For that to equal the difference in stats, you would have to make 100 million coin in the time you spend using the golem. By that time you'll have bought a hercules and retired the golem. So my vote is for the volcanic.

Actually, I noticed pet's hits are consistent in damage, not really that difficult of an observation to make at all, just you have to split your hits and the hits from your pet. That is, unless this was changed.

And my personal recommendation now is to get a volcanic, there was a time when crystalline had the potential to be the ultimate tank, but the herc ended that. There is a negligible difference in stats between crystalline and volcanic and a free skill (though bash is weaker, it's been a while since I used volcanic so I can't say for sure).

And yes, I don't use a volcanic, I used to back before the herc and I switched to crystalline, something I kind of regret but it doesn't make enough of a difference for me to go back again.

The problem with the cub (and all pets except the legendary) vs. the golem is that the only time it really matters which pet you have is in very close fights. And in very close fights you are scrapping for every little bit of extra advantage you can come up with. So the golem's extra p.def and attack easily makes it a winner over the cub in those tought fights against physical mobs.

I much prefer grinding with the cub instead of the golem. But in the tough fights and FBs appropriate for my level, 99% of the time I am using the golem. Which is remarkable considering that I hated the golem so much it drove me to camp the cub for 3 weeks to capture one.

I've noticed the cub doesn't like multiple vs 1 cases when I'm off fighting something else. The golem generally makes it through without much trouble. Though in close fights the cub has the advantage of stunning, something like that can turn a fight, even if it is only for 3 seconds.

I'll put here my little question: Is this little white bear(Cub?) better than golem anf froggy? I think about pet "2 in 1"

The cub is more of an all around pet, it has decent m and p def. So if you're looking to use one as an all-purpose pet, I'd get the bear.

Ok, I'll grant you that. I was thinking more in terms of damage taken. But still, the difference between your pet hitting for 1000 and 1001 is academic. The variability in your spell and melee damage is going to have a much bigger impact on the fight.

I know that Frogling is best mag tank(after herc and nix ofc), but..

Flogling isn't just needed as mag tank on my lvl, really.. My golem do just fine(on pirathes--> forgot name, mobs lvl~ 73) he can aggro form 1 to 5-6 mobs and I can heal him and don't steal aggro. b:victory He is like half-hercules xD

I personnaly have the cub and it hasnt let me down since i tweaked it to hold agro.I can easily take 5-6 mob my level at once depending on their debuff.
