Good Morning,Daric.. You have a fine bane there.. Its str is abit low for what I like for Chiv but its Resistances,Hp and other stats are in a good place to make a grand chiv bane.. You will have to make a few sacrifices on hp Regen( or other stats) to get it out there.. As for if its the best ..its more about is it the best for what you plan to do with it.. like a chiv bane would not do so well at sea... but all around out of all my pets for most things I do I turn to my chiv bane.. No pets alive can match the combo of chiv burst and bane dragon passive damage comboing off each other.. Depending on what you are fighting they have one of the the highest sustained damage outputs of any pet spec in the game... (things that are poison immune not so much.. ) Only the chiv pets with higher swing speed or over cap str(pp WW) even come close to them. (tritons, Frost drake <Krampus event>).. If you need a hand or have any questions feel free to post here or message me , I have premade banes in a few of the more popular specs you can test drive already 120 capped out.. if you would like to see how they work with your play style. I would gladly meet you on test and hand them off to you.. The best advice I honestly can give is. Don't be in a hurry, make at least 1-2 weeks of copies over to test / get a feel for what best suits your needs /play style, and for the over all system before doing anything on live.. as they are a living treasure that cant be replaced.. grats on the lovely bane mate.. cant wait to see it out on the battle field.. until then have a delightful day.. =^-^=
