How to skill a wolf?

The wolf would probably perform better as multi-role back up to your other pets, but if you want it to fill a niche i would recommend it for luring. The reason for this is the pet is both fast enough (speed over 8.0 at lvl 90) and sufficiently ressilient it should have a remarkable performance on this role. The skill set would be Ream as main (allows you to better time lures in conditions of poor visibility), Threaten (allows you to decrease the damage a pulled mob will be hitting for the first few seconds), Slow (allows for safer luring when dealing with fast or increased speed mobs) and Tough (which should allow your pet to survive long enough to hit even going through thick groups). Yes, this means no room for Howl, specialization does come at a cost...

If you want it mostly for Howl then i would recommend one of two choices. First, you can use it as a utility/debuffing pet. This means keeping it's main attack (i think it should be Ream) and Howl, adding Threaten and Shriek. The other choice would be to replace Shriek for Bash, making it a back up attack pet, although the Seamonster's high mag def means you'd be keeping a weaker version of your main with speed as it's only advantage. For a pure back up i recommend a tanking skill set as Roar will allow it to gain aggro fast and the Threaten-Tough combo should allow you enough time to deal with whatever emergency brought your main pet down. Of course you can take any of this options and tailor it to your own needs, i hope this at least helps give you a better idea.

So, I just reached level 49 and caught myself a Lunar Lupin, because it comes with howl 5, and to be honest, just looks really freakin awesome. ^^ Right now I'm just playing around with it and getting a feel for its strengths, but my question is this; if I decide to keep it, how should I skill it? I already have a shaudo to tank and a seamonster to DD... Would the wolf be superfluous, or is there a way to skill it to make it uniquely useful? Or would I be best just skilling it as a backup for one of the others?

I'd like to be able to find a niche for it, because I love how it looks and handles, but I don't want to waste coin if it won't end up being useful.

Better idea.....lvl up a lvl 2 wolf......in the long run it will be better

To me the decission comes down to what role you mean to use your pet for. Wolves do in general terms posses well balanced stats, which makes them better suited for pets which will take on several roles. Type 4 or metallic Wolves however seem to share the characteristics of a magic tank (decent phys def and hp, high mag def) with high speed. They would make the best choice if you were looking to fill in the roles of both mag tank and puller, which could make them a great complement to a Glacial Walker, a slow pet whose mag defense is only decent, or other similar statted options. The dps output of type 4 wolves is relatively low however (barely higher than a Shaodu Cub's for the Guardian) which makes them little suited for the attack role. This is why i recommended the multi-role/back up configuration for the OP.

The difference in stats when compared with type 1 lvl 2 Wolf is considerable when it comes to damage, and the starter wolf also gets better phys def and hp, which makes it a better pet for multi-role however. Investing in skilling a lvl 2 wolf is certainly worth it if you want a Wolf as one of your final pets. They'll make for decent and relatively small attack or back up pets. The Mad Wolfling would make the better choice imo since it's distinctive coloring sets it apart from the Sharptooth most venos will be familiar with.
