EnigmaMaitreya, you are talking about one aspect of taming... and it is a "rarely" used part of being a tamer. Why does a tamer need to keep taming if he has close to "perfect" pet?
Even then, running without protection is 99.9% better than running with protection.
I like hunting. Champs are my favorite, and peerless a close second. I don't like taming greaters. I've tamed plenty of greaters...I'd rather be hunting. On the other hand, I have friends who almost exclusively tame greaters. Of course, they all honor-tame...
Long story short: if lead-taming greaters is your hobby - and this is a perfectly legitimate hobby, I don't disrespect you in the slightest - than build your suit one way. If you want to hunt primarily, I'd suggest mods and fc/fcr over resists and protection.
At the risk of being perceived as attacking someone, ending up on their ignore list .... or worse ....
It is fair for you both to use my examples of dangerous encounters as a definitive play style.
If one will not accept an example as just an example then there is not much one can do to change someones viewpoint.
I appreciate that you have the firmness of your conviction that it is 99.9% better to not have protection than to have protection. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of what is superior based on their personal beliefs.
I do not run heavy mods on the armor, heavy as heck skill mods on the jewelry. I run an average 40% resist on Phy,C,E and 65% on Fire and 65% on Poison.
I fight in varied scenarios, the invasions/special events all of them, Paragon Balrons, Balrons, Greater Dragons, Paragon Cu's etc I do not die, I do not run out of mana.
If it is convenient for you to ask why a person that has said they have very good Pets, needs to tame new pets, then I will say that you must have missed the part where I stated I am constantly looking for upgrades and have not found (as in no need for me to tame anything) any in the last 6 months. I would not have thought it required to point out that puts me in a dangerous encounter scenario, just by being present in the Fel and Tram version of Destard were ... well I would have thought you would know, even a Stealth Tamer can be Revealed.
But if that works for you to use my generic examples of being in Dangerous Scenarios (All the Invasions/Special Events) to cast it as being a habitual tamer then ... so be it, I have done what I can to ... make sure you do know that is not the case.
As to the Mods FC/FCR *Shrug* I will take DCI and Mage -0 Mage 110+ Over those mods any day of the week. You can even throw in LMC (BUT NOT LRC
) and it wont make any difference. The why is the simplest of all things and I have stated it in the previous reply. I do not get interrupted casting GH, I do not die because I did not cast GH (as in got interrupted or was to long to cast), I do not die because I ran out of Mana.
As to the champion spawns, I primarily play Solo, hence they are not something I seek. Yet my travels doing my varied play style bring me into contact with people that are doing them. I ask if they could use help. If they say yes, then I do help. If it is convenient for you to believe I do not do champion spawns, then so be it.
I do not Seek to do Doom runs. If people are short and need help I will help. If it is convenient for you to believe I do not do Doom runs, then so be it.
I will 100% fess up to not being a Guru on how to get all of them to spawn and where all of the things are.
I do play Solo primarily.
There has been no intentional attack performed in this reply. If anything has offended anyone one, then it certainly was not my intent.
