why would you advise him to put chivalry on a nightmare when the OP explicitly said that he wants to pvp with it?
Yep..And though I not sure about PVP mares, maybe the mare is still ok, salvageable to some extent, and maybe the stam is ok for PVP mare. Definitely no Chiv. I think
@SouthPaw was not recommending it but asking what else the OP put on him. Mare still has TPs available. So what would you add to it he is asking.
Likely :
--First Mana regen to 30, plus Magery mastery, then HPS, Phys and Fire res to 80, Str to 700, max damage to 33, then scrolls, then bump hit points up a little, max damage being most important as well as str.
--Does he instead put Necro Mage on him? Or Mysticism? or likely Magery mastery that most PVP mares go for with the teleport and protection they do, but also bless etc? Precalculate trainig points remaining available, for scrolls, skills etc..
--Is poisoning useful in PVP instead of other magics in PVP, which taken to 100 would give the enemy high level poisoning?
Probably the STR needs to go to 700, then max damage first, then the rest of the upgrades.
Also what about the specials? Does he add dismount, Armor ignore?
Also maybe the OP does not know that any pet for PVP is nerfed against players nowdays for significant damage, and the debuffs from pets are more useful for PVP.
He needs to sit and think about what he needs to be up against in PVP, the debuffs he would use, dismount, debuff, etc, what templates he is likely to encounter in his opponents etc. And also his toons template is he a PVP Archer tamer etc. and complement his toons abilities with what the mare will be able to do.
PvP is more complicated for pets as it is now, due especially to the nerf of all PvP pets, and would be useful if some1 posts a guide for that, as there is none now, mostly because we tamers are mostly non-PVP oriented. Still a guide would be nice, and PVP IS a part of the game, as it has been for 20+ years.
