robe ultimate fox build

I don't understand...How do you make a fox form arcane venomancer if you can't use any mage attacks in fox form? Are you doing something like.....I don't know, heavy robe user? Are you switching back and forth between fox form and human form in attacking, or....?

Maybe if you just explained things a bit more clearly, we can help. =/

Mag still helps with mDef, mp, MPregen, and Ironwood Scarab. Unless you're tanking in Foxform (not very practical), I can't see why you'd want light armor unless there's some PvP reason.

Light Armor in a PVE situation really helps with the Phys Def. Putting Magic as much as possible, and using Physical Resistince ornaments can get your Phys Def almost as high as your Mdef. And in a situation where you're bieng mele'd pet loses aggro, you need to run away or survive long enough to revive a downed pet Light Armor can sometimes be a life saver. Mostly its all in play style of the Veno. I still play with my Light armor mostly while I am building the gear for my proper heavy build.

To the OP: It doesn't sound like you're seeking adivce at all. It sounds more like you want to tell us all how WE are wrong in our advice and you are right. If you want ot think out of the box, take chances and make mistakes. Go for it! there is nothing stopping you from enjoying that. But do not expect to be at the caliber of player that others are. There are reasons people use those pets so widely. It is becuase they are the MOST effective in their fields, not just to be overused. If you dont' want the advice of the more experienced players, then simply don't post about it. If you actually want advice, take it, listen to it and decide for yourself if it works for you.

I am one of the most unconventional veno builds I know, but I am not above taking the advice of others. It helps a lot, these regulars in here really know their stuff about Venos.

I sway towards PvE, so correct me if I'm wrong here. If I was light armor, I'd most likely be using Citrine Shards instead of Garnet. Citrines would cost me 6m each as opposed to 3m each for Garnet. I'd be refining my TT weapon considerably to compensate for the lower Atk which would cost more as well. When done with the weapon I'd take a big loss on selling or decomposing. It would cost me more to fill my HP with pots and thus cost more for MP when spam healing. The extra dex needed for LA would result in a higher crit rate leading to more aggro stealing, while using those spare points for vit could improve HP, Pdef, Mdef, and HP recov. (I don't do vit through stats either though but the argument could be made for vit on equips rather than dex).

My build (pure mage) works for me. It's hella cheap, hella powerful and wastes no stat points on attributes I won't benefit from. A lot of the Legendary arcane armor is better than the TT, so there's less waste on refines and imbues. Legendary is also more affordable / easier to obtain. When I die, it's usually from my PC crashing, or a boss I shouldn't be tackling, or some other stupid reason. It's very rarely because I didn't have enough pDef. With all the savings, I can also easily afford Guardian Angels, better pets and skills, better refines, better imbues, better equips, etc.

every time someone makes a topic talking about overused pets i immediately know they are from a pve server.

eventually even carebears realize that nix/herc is by far the most efficient and useful things in the game for venos.

There's only one possible response to that wall of barely literate babble:

OMGWTFBBQ.

Let's see if I can try and translate.
You're making an 'ultimate' arcane venomancer. A fox-form arcane user.

You're going to use the cactus as your pet because you want the range and believe it does more damage than the eldergoth.

You have a lvl70 golem, and want a PVP pet.

For PVP it's going to need to be fast and damaging. And I guess it pretty much has to be able to fly.
Since 'popular pets' are off the menu, you can't use the sawfly, which limits you to, more or less, the foxwing or the bee.

You could try the elysium fowl, I guess.

I'm from a PvP server.

I agree with everything she said. b:shutup

The reason people use the builds and pets we suggested is because they tend to function very well at what we suggested you use them for.

Anyone can be unique. But there are only so many smart ways of going about it.
