well, i'm working on getting either a Nix or Herc for my veno right now.

I wanna get her a nix, mainly because it would help out majorly with all her quests and be a great DD for her and she wouldn't need to go in and probably get herself killed.

but I know the herc works really great as a tank and will almost never lose arggo to something else, and with him I wouldn't have to worry about death of the pet as much...



So which would you guys suggest? Nix or Herc? (Little detail on personal experience of why would be nice b:thanks)


b:thanks

    Actually Herc's aggro can suck especially on non melee mobs/ bosses. There are better grind pets, better luring pets, and tank pets that can tank things Herc cannot BUT Herc is very enabling where a Nix will just help you grind fast.

    Well the thing is I know that the nix is one of the best pets for grinding, but I can't use nix in dungoen's :/

    As well I know that veno's with a herc are alot easier to get into a squad for dungoen's.

    *i'm thinking more along down the road, around the 50's, at which would be better to get now and have at my lvl by the time I get to my FB29 on this veno.*

    i say a herc first then if you choose get a nix

    i find this much better to have a herc cause i was able to solo a lot of bosses and since i play on Arch server i can't always get a lot of help so i find myself being able to solo bosses and the ones i cant coming back to later and soloing them

    battling the TB quest boss General Feng when i first did it i had two other venos healing the tank then recently i did it for a friend by myself

    I would say a herc as well as when it comes time to do more dungeons and it will be fully lvled when it comes time to do TT.Herc Venos are alway sought after.
    Looking for a decent casual understanding Faction.

    dang....the only thing that is stopping me really from going for a herc would be the fact that I love PvP/dueling, and the nix is great for it :/


    I guess, i'll just have to deal with getting the nix later on (probably lvl 60-80) and then working it up to my lvl.

    I got my herc at lvl 29 and LOVE it. I have tanked all my bosses up to and including Qingzi. I solo'd him at 39 as a pure arcane veno. I am therefore able to do all my BH's for Qingzi alone and keep all the molds he drops.

    I like being able to grind on 6-8 mobs a one time and not worry about his health. It makes questing really quick.

    LOL must ppl are noobs get nix first<_< nix= only for grining/pk. w a herc you can solo tts at 70+ make tt gear to sell and get able to get a nix .

    i have earned over 20m by make tt gear and sell:P if u buy gold by coins and then buy nix feahters from packs u save alot coins.

    I'd say a herc..
    well nix is awesome, i want it too for TW :P
    Thing is, I don't think u should worry about grinding.
    Veno kills mob pretty fast, and if your good, you won't even get hit by mobs.
    Grinding with herc is awesome coz u can aoe zhen :P
    Gonna take slower than barb but its possible ;)

    The wonderful thing abt herc is, you can solo TT :p

    If you like pvp and whatnot then go for the nix, no sense in buying the pet that you didn't really want. The nix is great for leveling and whatnot. I personally had bought the herc first at i think like lvl 19 mainly because i hate relying on groups for things. The nix i hadn't got until a little over 60 levels later. Keep in mind that leveling a nix is much faster than leveling the herc if you don't go into the specific cube room to level him xD.
