Mine has Chiv so it does not have but 400HP.
Be more specific. What do you think about 700 str or < 700 for some Intel on a chiv pet. Or melee pet.
My Ossein Ram has 120 Chiv+AI, and 598 Health. I just didn't plan on putting 120 Tact on him. Here's the secret with Ossein Rams (i've only told this to three other people).
Ossein Rams pair incredibly well with "Combat Training: Berserk" now. Berserk was recently stealth buffed (likely when they changed "As One's" mana cost) to activate at 50% Health, and remains active until either A) going above 50% Health, B) exiting combat, or C) pet dying. You can tell a pet is Berserk when it has the brown sparkles appearing on it. When Berserk, a pet's damage ramps up significantly, and they take a lot less damage from all sources (not just Physical, unlike Empowerment/Consume Damage). Pets also take significantly less healing while Berserk, so Vet healing, Magery/Mysticism/SW healing, HPR, and a pet's bandy healing have virtually no effect on a Berserk pet, but Life Leech bypasses this. I've seen my Ossein Ram deal 324 damage EoO AIs to Balrons while Berserk, and two shot them. Those hits also significantly healed the Ossein Ram through Berserk. Once a Berserk pet exits combat (such as killing it's only opponent), it'll have to go above 50% Health before Berserk will reactivate again.
700 STR, always. STR plays too large of a role in the damage calculations, and synergizes with so many other things (such as Chiv). STR is a consistent damage increase. Sacrificing STR for INT isn't great, especially on a Cu that may just use that little extra Mana for a crappy Bleed Attack.
