I returned to game from way back in 2003 and it's a completely new world and era. Still a bit of a newb, but I've learned fast.
So, from all the reading I've done on forums the last two days, people tend to say that Chivalry/Armor Ignore is the boss killer. Which is cool, because I already love that combo on my Archer and Samp.
But Enemy of One can cause a tanking problem for pet in group spawn due to 100% damage increase to pet. Which makes sense, because my Samp used to have that issue. But I'm not sure how often the pets EoO.
Apparently if you run Lv3 Consume Damage though around 700 pet hp, EoO won't cause you to break a sweat. Nor will much of anything else, supposedly. People are saying not to spend points into HP over 700 because of CD. I haven't even got to play with masteries yet, so I'm really curious.
AoE abilities are excellent they say, but pets will kill blues with it, so some people said to be careful where you fight with AoE. Poison beetles with rune corruption or something like that are a trend. I also see those a lot walking around on ATL.
But I also see a lot of Cu's and Mares, so when someone walks by with an Ice Mite, it seems exotic. lol
I love unicorns because it was the first pet I tamed back in 2003, so I'm training one now. It's at slot 4. I love it's poison immunity and magery. But I read that magery mastery isn't as good as the original magery on mares/uni's, so I'm curious to test it all out. I like that my Unicorn blesses itself.
That's a big buff.
Just my journey so far.
