AI pretty sure, because most anything you want to fight has high resists. AP takes the half the damage done after resists and does that much as direct damage.Thoughts? Better or worse than Armor Ignore?
Armor ignore is direct damage, so damage type doesn't matter.Thank you. I put AP on a fire beetle because it doesnt have physical damage
Yep. AI works great on a fire beetle.Armor ignore is direct damage, so damage type doesn't matter.
Went through the guide on AI and AP, and these posts, and still dont quite undestand why AP would be better on some mobs, even with lower resists..? Why not use AI for all? Why is AP better for some mobs? Thanks in advance..AP would likely be better against mobs with trash resists or with a very low resist in the damage type the pet does (ie. ideal against the high-HP low resist mobs in blackthorns dungeon, or great on a fire beetle at navery), while AI would be ideal for mobs with higher resists.
AI is probably by far the best general use skill. AP would be better suited for a pet tailored to fight a specific monster.
In primitive terms, AI cancels some of the mobs resists. If the resists are low anyway, AI is of limited benefit because there is not much to cancel. AP takes a portion of post-resist damage and applies it again. On a mob with high resist, post -resist damage will be quite low, so the effect of AP will be low as well.Went through the guide on AI and AP, and these posts, and still dont quite undestand why AP would be better on some mobs, even with lower resists..?

Thanks.Makes sense..Also most valuable mobs do not have low resists. few have relatively or slightly lower one resist. I guess the question may be AI being such a great move may be worth more to put on, rather than having different pets with AI and different ones with AP?In primitive terms, AI cancels some of the mobs resists.

Hmm that would be sad. I will double check it..Otherwise a completely unique awesome pet that is rideable, all fire, RC capable. Chiv is possible but good question about the AI .. will need to check it..i dont think fire beetle could have RC and Chiv at the same time
Not to my knowledge. I wish they could though. Can you imagine the DPS of a Chiv/AI/RC Fire beetle.Can beetles have chivalry ? I remember giant beetles and fire beetles can’t.
If it was just Chiv/RC it would still be inferior to any pet with Chiv/AI.Only beetle that can get chiv is the rune beetle. A fire beetle with chiv/rc wouldn't be overpowered at alll......
