I'm here to help the new and returners build some good pets so they can do content. Then they can specialize and do content with 3 slot Mongbats after they have good pets if they wish. Id like a PP Imp to play with.
We are here to help new and returning tamers also, in fact I think we built a whole website and have a chat channel for that purpose. Not everyone in this forum is a new or returning tamer, such as Southpaw (the original poster) and Turkish. You tend to talk down to the people who actually show a desire to have a deeper understanding of taming and often times not addressing their actual questions.
Also we don't use mongbats or anything of that nature. We are about efficiency. Not everyone plays all day or night or has the desire or ability to. The quicker things are killed the more things they can accomplish with their playtime or life.
I'm sure the poster was asking for a basic build and pet type that he could easily use in a group at Scalis.
Actually he was not inquiring about a basic build and pet type that could easily use in a group at Scalis. Let's re-read what he said:
People mention it is good for groups, so I'd be interested in creating a pet for that but I'm just not sure of the context.
We usually have large groups for Scalis? Would it be helpful for that?
Looks like he is asking if AP would be beneficial for Scalis. Not a basic pet build for it. I know Turkish and I know he is not an unskilled returning player. I've seen some of his pets and the ones I saw were well built. But you seem to think everyone who comes here to ask a question doesn't have a clue about training basics.
So to actually answer his question, we use AP pets for Scalis regularly. We find them very beneficial in most content we do, however, it's about how you use them, so I would have to know more about your group comp and your tamers spec. Its been a couple months since we've done an open call Scalis on Baja. I do have hundreds of nets there though, if people need them let me know.
As for
@SouthPaw 's original question. We have not done AP on a Hiryu, but is this for an offensive tamer or will the pet be the main source of damage? Do you know what you want to kill with it? The thread I posted earlier, which was actually a thread you started, still has valuable information regarding AP.
You have methods to collect data, I know that. Instead of telling us, show it. I am sure others would like to see the raw data.
We've collected 1000s of logs the past two+ years. We presented data and information many times on stratics, our discord channel and on our website. We don't have time to publish, import and format or explain 1000s of logs For most people a raw data log does little to nothing.
Take for example here's a combat log from a tamer's pet at medusa tonight:
From this log, can you tell what animal it is? Or at least narrow it down? It's spec? What is happening in each of those attacks? Why there are breaks in damage? Are they misses? Why the differences in all the hits?
We take the data we gather and interpret it, confirming any theory crafting is correct and things are working as intended and then try to explain the mechanics in a way that more people can understand and put it into practice in a way that benefits their playstyle.
@Khyro did a nice explanation of AP in the post I linked earlier, so I feel no need to retype the same information.
