    I haven't played since the summer! What is this Glacial walker pet? is it a new legendery pet and are there any new legendary pets?

    Its a new mob in the Tideborn areas, its not a legendary pet just a pet that will probably replace the crystal magmites

    Does the herc really do more dps than the varicose scorpion?

    Yes but the varicose scorpion has 4 slots that are not taken up by buffs (unless your rich enough for claw)
    Which means you have: Bash and Fleshream (which together on scorpion can outdamage a herc) and howl to help your damage if you choose to add those on

    Learn to speak english. He DOES do damage considering all his buffs. Scorpion.. sure has dps but has no hp so what's the point? Sawfly is good with the flesh ream. Knowlin is for luring. wtf are you even saying?

    So I've been wandering around the tideborn area, both as new Tideborn characters, and now as my veno. I think there is a new rare pet, I've seen it twice, but both times was playing with my new tideborn and my Veno was far from the tideborn area. It def. does not spawn normally, though it is only level 8. Do all rare pets spawn 5 hours after server maintenance? I'm a bit new at this venomancer taming thing.

    I am looking forward to the Heartless Wolf

    Since it is Water~based on Land, I'll be enjoying using it on Fire~based creatures

    And since the only thing that will cause it trouble is Earth~based creatures, my Wood~based spells can make quick work of them~<3

    ~^*^~

    I shall be enjoying to use it a alot, I even made my character to complement it in looks, having red eyes, white spikey hair, and dark green eye shadow :D

    I just know I'll be having fun!~

    It still would be nice if we had a wolf~style Venomancer :P

    I so would have gone with that style over the kitty cat :D

    Anyways~

    Happy Gaming & Love Always,

    Heartfull~<3

    lol you probably havent seen the Nix yet because of your lvl. Normally higher lvl'ed veno's have a nix/herc. Normally.
    But no, the Nix's attack is not crappy at all. It gives pretty good dmg.
    Its the pet, as far as I know, that many venomancers use for PvP

    Note your pets skill in a certain stat. Then level it up, and subtract the level up ammount from the previous level. That is about as much as he will gain per level, so just subtract your pets level from your level then multiply that by the 'gain per level' from the pet. Then add that to your pets current score.

    Exp:

    PET Lv 24, Your Lv 75.

    Pet Attack = 500, Pet Lv's up to 25 attack is now 550. So 550 - 500 = 50(per level).

    Your Lv(75) - Pet Lv(25) = 50 Lv difference.

    50 Diff x 50 = 2,500.

    So now 2,500 + 550 = 3,050 Attack at level 75.


    That is just an about measurement, this I wouldn't think would be completley accurate but it semi worked for me. Try it yourself to get a rough estimate on almost any stat.

    Thanks a lot. I tried but something is messed up cause when i calculated it for lvl 90 to compare it to ecatomb's guardian wolf stats it came out with less attack which should be wrong cause hellduke has like half more growth in chart for attack compared to the wolf O_O;

    depends if you have money or not..... it comes with no aggro skills, so you will need to buy them and have the pet learn them. For a starting veno, the thought of coming up with 300k coins is a little too much when the scorpion would be better, and in the long run, you would still keep it instead of being replaced with a herc or another better tank.
    Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.

    I'm going with the Vericose Scorpion (main DPS pet), Petite Sawfly (air), and QingFu ... no water pet yet aside from a lvl10 turtle (Riptide?) ... I'll decide on that one when the time comes.

    So the best tanks betwen Crystaline Magmite and Glacial Walker its the last one?

    I tink the Magmite looks better. >.<

    So whats the scoop on the Mag vs the Walker.. I get conflicting stories all the time over which is "better". I have a lvl 41 Veno with a 38 Mag and just bought a 60 Kowlin for later. Will get the Walker and up it if its worth it. Also for an air pet or water pet.. there are so few quests that require either. At lvl 41 is there ones I should look for to have with me till the end of time? And plz dont suggest a Herc or a Nix.... I have neither the real or game money to buy them.

    Thanx for any advice.. b:victory

    I totally agree with you about the headthing xD It's soo weird if he does that b:chuckle

    And I think the mag looks better too, so that's why I use that one as my main pet.
    I'm still thinking about a dd-pet. =3

    Anyone with Armored Bear here? How does it do - can it hold aggro with it's default build?
    I was thinking (since getting higher level makes it very hard to keep pets at my level) to replace my overclocked mechcrab and guardian wolf with 1 pet that has overall nice stats and is close to my level so it wont take too much time.
    When i compared the bear in ecatomb site at level 90 it has 500 more health and around 300+ less m/p defence compared to them, but what really put me off is it's attack - 1k less than crab. In that case i should probably still have another pet for dps and it makes me wonder should i really bother at all.

    I have a question. Do the lists in the very first post account for Tideborn pets? I find it hard to believe that none of the new pets are in the top 10 something-or-other.

    Indeed, this list wasn't updated by the original poster(who may not be longer playing this game).

    As already mentionned all over this forum:
    Glacial Walker beat the old crystalline in tanking, with better hp and mdef(rest is similar at higher lv). I added Bash and leveled it for agro keeping.
    Dark Wanderer is a very good DD with excellent pdef, while the Seamonter Guardian has similar DD power with very good mdef instead.

    I use both the Walker and the Seamonster, and I like how fast the last one kill when I'm grinding.

    I already have a Magmite as a tank and a Scorpion for DD, both in their 50's. This was before the Tideborn expansion.

    So what I'm seeing now is the Walker and Wanderer are better pets. Would it be worth it to get them and level them to my level (55)? I mean, are their stats THAT much better? b:puzzled
