True feral and hood would be better, if you actually need it to keep yourself alive. Lol, i haven't pulled alot, but when a squad wipe happens at the dragons, and im the last one alive, you can bet i'll be kiting them around the room.

I think in my situation being HA/AA, I'd pull the physical mobs with HA, and magic halls with AA, obviously. Im not quit sure if I'd use so many skills at once, though.... Maybe just switch in and out of foxform to keep my speed. HP foods, or genie heals should be enough to keep me from dying, but if not I guess I could…

I have both, but I actually prefer my nix more, maybe since i just got it. But, I usually spend alot of my time grinding in oht mainly, and nix kills the mobs alot faster that my herc does.

Agreed. Putting strong and protect on a kowlin is a waste. Im not even sure if i'd put it on a eldergoth either. In fact, with some WB's it isnt needed. Like soul hunter, an eldergoth can tank him on ranged mode without herc buffs, cause all he does is stun and itterupt, basically. It's probably the same way with shadow…

Actually, I'd be panicking right now if i didn't have a herc, too Sofs and feathers are around 9k+ on sanctuary, so that's 90m or more for a herc/nix. I never tried drum or Sb in 1-2 till i was 90+ (was scared to) I can easily do drum and sb in 1-2 now with hp foods though. I finally tried drummer in 1-3 and had a hard…

Ive never had anything that ridiculious happen, but i was in one squad that killed Dred before he spawned any bishops. I don't think my herc even had time to attack.

Well ive never really tanked any really hard bosses just yet, but aoe grinding, I easily steal aggro from my herc even though he bashes every mob... so when that happens, i basically just charge in, foxform, befuddling mist, leech, maybe swich to human, then nova and nox gas.

Not sure if you were talking to me, but i'd assume you were talking to the OP. In case not, no I havent done those bosses yet, but they're OHT bosses right? I only have 2 maps open atm, and last hard oht boss i did was in unicorn forest for part of chrono early on (right after unicorn forest was unlocked). Yea, it was a…

I guess it all depends on what you want to do. I'd say some channeling is good, for like bosses that hit really hard and you need to channel faster to get heals in between, but if you don't plan on doing bosses like that, then the channeling isnt needed. I'm not sure if you have a herc or not, but I would hope you know…

Honestly, I wouldnt recommend the array sentries in map 1 for grinding. At least not for a sin. They still hit pretty hard. I'd say look on pwdatabase for mobs around your lvl, and check the drop rate of them.

Um, i actually like the demon version of ironwood, and im pve only too. Actually soloing things, it pretty much hits alot for me, so i guess thats a good thing.

Got my herc at lvl 75, was a mix between in-game coins and RL money (got it around christmas time) And got my nix at lvl 94 ( a few days ago) was all cashshopped.

Well, if its just the basics like ironwood or venomous.... Then I would say its best for to keep up sage ironwood, if you have it, and for the demon veno to keep up demon venomous scarab (but not spamming it) but, if its a bit more complex (lets pretend you have sage soul degen) I would want a sage veno with that skill to…

Well this question would be easier to answer if we knew what sage skills you have and what demon skills your friend has.

I cant really give an opinion on DoDs, but id say you need to shard with 100% garnets. Especially with only 4k p def buffed in human. Anyways do that, and refine your armor till you have 5k hp and you should be good. With your current 4.7k hp it shouldnt be to hard to refine 300 more hp.

I was ordered by maiira to kill this thread.

This thread needs to die. *Attempts to kill it by shooting it in the head* Bang Bang!.

Dont forget demon amp lasts longer, so that's good for soloing bosses too. Only 4 seconds of no amp up. So if you dont have to spam heal you can nearly keep a boss perma-amped.

The ONLY magic class you should go HA on is a veno. Wizards, Clerics, and Psychics won't benefit from the extra strength. At least venos have mellee skills that benefit from the added strength.

You're comparing it to problems you have in 1-3? My goodness Im HA/AA build and i dont have to heal my herc so often on mobs in there. I really think your over exaggerating. And yes, i got my herc AFTER the skills where nerfed. This problem is long gone. People have adapted.

im not commenting on the pvp part, but the strong nerf? meh w/e..... hasn't stopped me from tanking some hard bosses.

Well yea I know i can't effectively DD on ground mobs in the air. But im talking about grinding on those sentries in oht. That's usually where im grinding, and it doesnt really matter if I DD. So best to stay in air, imo. But any other place, I'd be on the ground and put up with the jumping. lol

Which why I've been stayin in the air with my nix.

I could disagree with this, because it seems every statement you bring up a herc, and don't give any credit to other free pets. Basically it seems you use herc for everything and have this mentality that everyone else needs to also. At the very least, Tweakz gives credit to other pets with value like, an eldergoth for…

Well, thanks for the answers Sasha and Mauntille. Anyways, you said a nix doesnt lose any value at all, pvp or pve, right? I hear it's the queen of grinding pets basically, and if it's got protect added to it, it can tank outside bosses, or oht ones. Also someone told me in high lvls it can make more money than a herc…

Well i didn't say they had no value. My herc has served me well for a long time, but in bh's it wont hold aggro at all, even with lvl 5 bash. Even non-int characters steal from it. In TT or Fcc it usually holds aggro, unless there's a sin or bm with good interval bonuses. I don't mind aggro being stolen from it, cause that…

I've gotten to the point to where i don't wanna pull my herc out during bhs cause either me or someone else is gonna steal aggro from it. It always happens. Thats why i feel it best for me to lvl up a DD/debuffer pet, since it will have some value. But on a side note, do nix's lose their value later on? (And im not talking…

Well my husband and i are married on 2 pairs. 2 clerics, then 2 archers.

Dont lvl up pets in the cube. You'll go insane in there..... INSANE I TELL YOU!!!!!

This might be what the OP is talking about http://www.ecatomb.net/pwi/petstat.php (it's the wolf on that page: Mother of the Pack) From what I heard, it existed probably during the time PWI was in CB. I've heard of it before too, but I've been here since open beta started and i don't remember seeing anyone with it.
