    Yup, both of those skills are good for holding aggro.

    Bash is slightly better for holding aggro than fleshream.

    Flesh ream adds a bleed effect, but I'm not sure if the overall damage is more...

    Now to test...I'll get back to you with results when I can.

    Venomancers are Female. Barbarians are male. It will forever be this way. So suck it up and deal with it already.

    Fleshream does a nice chunk of damage but takes 15 seconds to cool off, where bash only takes 8 seconds to cool of.

    I would tend to think bash does more damage with out testing.

    My sawfly has both lvl4 flesh ream and bash

    lvl 4 flesh ream inflicting base damage plus 180% of your pet base damage over 9 secs (bleed) but 15 secs cooldown while bash deals 185% of your pet base damage with 8 secs cooldown.

    normally I use bash for tanking just like my herc cos it deals more damage in one attack and faster cooldown. While I use flesh ream mainly for pvp/tw and if u use this skill to tank, chances are u might steal its aggro.

    hence it depends on wat u use the pet for, PVE or PVP.

    Assuming you're mostly using the fly for PvE, the shorter cooldown on Bash means you'll deal more damage and hold aggro better with it. That combined with the fact that, unlike ream, the damage bash deals is not affected by level difference means you'd go for it for PvE.



    For PvP, on the other hand, ream all the way. Since Ream isn't affected by the PvP damage reduction, it's going to do more damage than any other pet skill you can use.

    It also has this wonderful side effect of causing lots of QQ.
