Disco plus what else?

I have trained up my first pet, my CU and so far have added Disco, Since Disco already reduces resists is it a good idea to also add AI or maybe Repel. Not sure if AI works well with Disco, Repel sounds interesting.

Repel is awful. I watched a fellow try to use his pet with repel and it stopped attacking every few seconds. He called a gm thinking it was bugged and neither could figure it out. I lored it and it was clear his pet was...repelling from its target. So careful what you put on.

I have a disco A.I. Cu .. I think ya should try that combo.. it gets some pretty high end hits,.. and once disco land it stops trying to do it which saves its mana for pure damage =^-^=

I have found conductive blast to be very effective on Cus :)

I've also done a Discord/Conductive Blast Cu. Conductive Blast lowers energy resist based on the targets Resisting Spells. At 0 Resist it does about -34 iirc. As the Cu is 50% energy damage I find that useful.

With the 120 disco on a pet can it discord the top end bosses like the shadowguard bosses for example?

Is disco really a good skill for pets? And does it stack with Armor Ignore?

Also, let's say I tamed a cat. Can I alter his resists? How does all this mumbly work?

I been wondering how the music skill comes to play with the bard calculator. For a pet, do we assume that the music is
at the same level as their disco? So for training/success information would we assume if it is currently at 80 disco it also
has 80 music? Was this clarified somewhere I missed?

Thanks

Yeah. That's my question too. With 160 barding difficulty how often does a pet successfully discord?
My CU with 120 discord definitely can discord a 160 barding difficulty MOB. I never really tried to track the frequency, sometimes it would succeed right off the bat, sometimes it wouldn't even try and sometimes it would fail a few times. IMHO it seems to be on par with my 120 music / 120 disco archer at success rate when it does try. I haven't been able to notice a pattern of how this all works as it relates to a CU choosing healing, discord or in my case, armor ignore. Some fights it won't try to discord at all and just chain AI's until its out of mana and some it won't AI at all and repeatedly discord and cast masteries. Sometimes it's a very good mix.

I'm tempted to make my next discord pet a simple build with 0 additional specials. ;)
