Note About Pet Skills

I know I'm not the only person who runs to Google for help on how to train my characters. If your Google search pulls up the same threads I looked at, hopefully you'll find this thread, too.

A lot of the Venomancer guides I read tell you to buy 4 Bash skills and use them all one after the other when your pet fights in order to hold aggro. This doesn't work. The guides are probably out of date, but right now if your pet already knows a skill the Zoologist won't let you teach it the same skill again. You'll have to do something like Bash + Fire + Ice + Lightning, etc, to have it attack repeatedly.

They'll also tell you "don't bother with water pets" so you pretty much can't find anything to help you if you enjoy fighting underwater. If you LIKE your water pet and WANT to train it, teach it Sandblow because most stuff in the water is a Water elemental, and on this silly game Water elementals are weak to Earth, not Lightning/Fire like in other games.

That's all.

    This is what they mean. Bash is physical and icicle, toxic mist, fireball, etc are elemental versions of Bash. So when they're saying to use the four bash skills, it means to get bash + the elementals... or four elementals if you so choose.

    As for the water pet, that's more opinion than anything else. I, personally, leveled up a turtle from the lower levels long ago but others may not want to or may skip the small amount of water content entirely.

    Evolved Legendary's work underwater = no need for water pet.

    @Tweaks evolving pets only happens at lvl 100+, iirc. Most water content and flying content, quest wise, is under lvl 100.

    The new legendary pets (Monkey/Harpy) can be used underwater and in the air even before the evolution so whoever decides to get one of those will not need a water pet.
    Old ones do indeed need to evolve first and that's for lvl100+.

    Another thing to consider is that turtles can't evolve so you might want to get a Plumpfish instead albeit that's lvl 80+.

    If people want a water pet, go ahead, nobody is stopping you but generally most people tame at-level available water pets and get rid of them after they are done with the quests because there's not enough underwater content to justify heavy leveling of a turtle or even a plumpfish unless it's personal preference/choice.

    I think kossy covered the rest.
