Moldering Ursine - Info, Guide, and Builds

[Pawain]

Bear I made for spawn events. Started Thursday night. Fastest magic skilling I have ever done.

Have anyone tried getting more inteligence for greater mana regeneration?
My thinking is that Ursine seems to be training his mana rather quickly - due to life leech being casted pretty much every shot - so every 1.25 s it uses up 5 mana. At 368 inteligence, 120 medit and focus it regains 4.25 MPS (which translatets to 5.3125 per hit), which is sufficient just for upkeeping mana leeches. Sacrificing 56 strength (on average it should be 4 damage points) provides 5.16 MPS (which gives 6.45 per hit), allowing to cast spells like AI a lot more often (if mana is completly drained - every 30 seconds). It might be not worth losing 96 dmg per 30 seconds with chiv/ai, but maybe with other builds it's viable? Anyone tried something similar?

Pets run off the 30MR. All chiv pets are at 0 Mana within 30 seconds or less. Life Leech is using mana also.
Mine were at 0 on the shadow ele while skilling. They were not using Life Leech.
That's why you match a pets damage to the target, so the normal hits do more damage. Damage is your goal.
More intelligence does not increase mana regen enough to matter.
Everyone would have a serpentine dragon if it did anything better than 700 str.

Someone PMed me about a Blaze Cu he bought that was built with 650 or so Str so he got a good deal. I told him it would be ok, just cast bless on it when its fighting. But, I am not going to encourage someone not to build a pet for PvM with less than 700 Str, Can bless and that goes to 790.

Took a bear and two tritons to a bunch of Scalis with a group. Tritons ruled Bear needed constant heals.

Thank you for the reply appreciate your input that saves me a trip to test center. Have a great day!

Because Scalis has the tainted life force and the bear has life leech.

I've never walked up and slapped him before. So I never paid attention to that ability. Thanks!

But the bear looked pretty cool standing up fighting him. I'll stick with the Tritons for him.

Osiredon the Scalis Enforcer has Corrupted Life, Life Leech/Drain attempts will damage instead of heal. Corgul has Corrupted Life as well. Exodus has Null Life (can't Life Leech/Drain from him, but at least it doesn't damage you back).

Minion of Scelestus also has the tainted life force. Too bad there isn't a list somewhere to help keep track of all of the creatures with tainted life force. I found out the hard way with my life leech bow when battling scalis. LOL

I built the perfect ai/magery mastery bear

Morning all, I am training up my Moldering Ursine, but Chivalry is not an option. Can anyone explain what's wrong (most likely how I screwed up)?

 

[tanotan]

you need positive karma, to become chivalry an option. If your tamer has negative karma, then chivalry will not be an option to choose.

Well, that would explain it... I'm a Legendary Necromancer. Thanks! Glad to know its not me (in real life), its me (in game) that's jacked up!

 

[Montamero]

Next question, if I were to get positive karma to pick Chivalry, then go negative again, would it drop? (Like how Parry drops if your wrestling falls below 100.) If so, any siggestions now that Chiv/AI is no longer an option (I already picked AI).

 

[tanotan]

you only need the positive karma to choose chivalry. It will not drop, if you get your negative karma back again.

Great! Now to spend the weekend undoing 10,000+ negative karma for approximately 1 minute...
