Taming 101 question - 100% elemental damage pets, ie fire beetle:

[mihali]

Does it make sense for fire beetles to have FWW with the Rune Corruption? Is the damage from the FWW hits only physical or is it fire?
Same question with Rune Corruption plus AI : is AI sensible for the fire beetles? Will the AI increase the fire damage pocd by the beetle or it will affect physical damage increase? Will it make more sense to just use RC and AP for? Or it would be best to just have RC because its uptime will be more so fire damage will be more? Especially for fire sensitive mobs? The tamer is Spellweaver/Discorder.
What are some nice firebeetle combo specializations?
Ty in advance.

You always can have several beetles with just 105-110 scrolls and choose which suits you best. Still not enough damage -squeeze necro in your template and use corpse skin.
Also try one beetle with aura of nausea : it rebuffs mobs very nice so they being hit more and miss you/pet more
If tamer have discord 120 scrolls are not needed very much so you are limited to your stable slots and nothing else
If you plan to fight something with low fire resist + discarded + under RC effect, AI will be useless. AP can work , but it depends... may be just RC will be enough without other skills. And you will have nice 4 slot beetle and swampy or ethy for yourself. .

AI ignores all resists, it is not a particular type of damage. It looses effectivness at the lowest resist around 50%. So AP would be better if a mob has a really low resist.

FWW is physical damage, but it does more than 1 hit.

RC+AP is a great debuff combo for a Beetle, especially for a Disco/SW Tamer. The AP will buff your WoD damage by +10% as well.
