Hello all,
I am curious as to your favorite pet's and their builds for doing Champion Spawns. As well as your favorite tamer template to compliment those pets. I also am looking for feedback on my current tamer template.
Right now I have a very nice WW pre-Patch that I've begun training on. His is a Chiv/AI build. He already is holding his own quite well in champ spawns even with his Chiv only in the mid 70's so far. In part due to my lvl 3 animal taming mastery doing consume damage. However I am noticing with champ spawns it would really be nice to have some good AoE attacks. There's only so much my WW can do when he's surrounded by 10 plus creatures hitting him all at once.
I've seen some people talk about a Najasaurus and adding Poison breath and Frenzied Whirlwind which sounds great since that pet has so many points to spend you can get some really nice builds.
I have a nice Rune Beetle I haven't begun training on yet but have heard they can make a good champ spawn pet as well.
But i wasn't sure what other pets you all may have out there and what your experience with them is on Champ Spawns.
I'm also thinking about my tamer template as well. Right now I'm a mage tamer
magery 120
eval 120
animal lore 120
animal taming 120
meditation 120
vet 120
I don't really use my magery spells much in combat, I mainly just send in my WW, heal him from a distance and keep the mobs off of me while I do Consume Damage. I keep his Bless buff going as well since it increases his strength from overcapped 751 to 846! If I aggro something, do invis, then all kill. Since I don't have resisting spells, i go down quick around casting monsters. I can do some offensive spells on the first round or two to kill a few monsters but once they get tougher or start casting spells I have to just let the WW do the work while I keep him alive, sometimes I just have to stay hidden and log out / log in if he gets surrounded by too many monsters and I can't do Consume damage or reveal to heal him.
So what do you all think, drop the eval, lose some of the bless buff and ability to do real damage with offensive spells for resist so I can hold my own better in battle? Do something else entirely? I don't want to remove meditation since that helps to allow me to do consume damage indefinitely.
Or should I split the difference, go 60 med and 60 resist?
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

I always assumed it would mean my resist spells would go negative with that buff on, causing me to take even more damage but apparently it doesn't go below zero, same with faster casting so for me that means I really get all of the benefit and none of the penalty. I also have enough Physical resist to keep me at max of 65% with my current suit.
