Best tank/dungeon runner tame these days?

[Seynix]

So I am a bit overwhelmed with all the options, what kind of critter should I be going after to take on paragon/dungeon stuff? A GD? A Cu? A combo of other stuff?

Thoughts? I want to figure out what to go for so I can start mass taming them for one with good stats

Also, if I switch to elf, do all my stats carry over/and my applied power scrolls/skill cap increases?

I don't mind walking through dungeons either if GD is still a solid choice. Thanks!

Any five slot works fine. You can use a 5 slot giant beetle to kill Greater Dragons. You have a place to put hides and gold.

That's the great thing about the pet revamp.

If you're talking about doing the elf quest or using a race change token, then you're fine. All of your stats and skills will carry over. If you make a new toon, well then the answer is no, you'll need to get all of the scrolls again.


As for the pet, I agree with Pawain, any 5 slot pet should fit your needs. While I don't have a 5 slot giant beetle, I can see how good one would be for a good old dungeon crawl.

Yepp.. agree with everyone else. Only thing I would add is if I was going to hit a high magic dungeon area I would use the Naja. Their 140+ resist and poison immunity makes things a lot easier.

Dimetrosaurs are good for the first 3 levels of most champ spawns, but you are better off leaving and switching out for something tougher for the last stage and boss.

yeah I am not too worried about clear speed, just want something tanky to work on

To add to what was said above, I would not bother with GD if you have time to train a pet. GD has good stats, but you cannot customize it to your needs and it makes it inferior to customizable pets.

I don’t mind training up a pet, just trying to determine the best one to start the process on. I might have to switch to elf to get into the Cu game lol.

You can get the Pads of the Cu to be able to ride them as humans. Still can't tame them, but can ride them.

My tamer has always been human. I have 2 blacks, 2 whites, 2 ice, 1 red and many other colors. Find someone looking for a specific color and help them kill off the plain ones and they will give you the other colors.

I was surprised with my pre-patch White Wyrm tonight in the Halloween dungeon. It only died once during the whole Jack sequence with only a handful of people there. Now it doesn't heal like a Cu Sidhe, obviously...so I had to be near by at times when the spawn got heavy. I enjoy it's 759 Strength...and when I could remember to bless it, the strength went up to 800-something.
