Moldering Ursine - Info, Guide, and Builds

[Pawain]

Lore sheet for T rex:


he does 100% phy damage.

Notice how the resists perfectly fit a Cu. A bear is a Cu with some phy damage.
A Triton is half Cu with Phy damage.

You look at what damage type a Mob does and what Resists they have to determine what pet is best.

A lot of dinosaurs are very difficult to bard.

@PlayerSkillFTW I have never wanted to discord an allo, does it take a bunch of tries?

@ultima2005 yes discord with any build is great. I'm not into discord pets, I play with the volume on, it's as annoying as sword noise to me.

I rank Discord on Pets as tied with Chivalry, not because it's better than other magics, it's in a class alone.

In NL our toons do so little damage, discord is awesome there.

Allosaurus (and most other Dinosaurs other than T-Rex) are vulnerable to Reptile Slayer. So with Gwenno's Harp and 120 Music/120 Disco, they're not too bad to Disco. May take a couple attempts.

hmm. I wonder if a Disco/AI bear would be effective. Probably would complement a mage tamer well.

For a Death Ray Tamer/Mage ©, a Disco+CB Triton would actually be better than a Disco+AI Moldering Ursine (Moldering Ursines can't learn Conductive Blast due to having Life Leech). A Death Ray Tamer/Mage © is the main source of damage, while the pet is meant to tank and amplify his Energy damage.
With a Disco/Tamer though, the Tamer is meant to amplify the pet's damage output, which synergizes extremely well with Chiv+AI pets, especially with the Moldering Ursine's Life Leech.

This is really interesting. One of my go-to templates is a Bard/Tamer. Based on this, it seems like a Disco/AI Bear + Disco + Empowerment may be a pretty solid combo? Or, like you said, Inspire + a Chiv/AI Bear.

Damnit. Now I need to start saving up my event points again.

Chiv+AI Moldering Ursine with a Disco/Tamer. My Disco/Tamer has 120 Taming/120 Lore/GM Vet/GM Music (120 with Jewelry)/GM Disco (120 with Jewelry)/GM Magery/80 Med. He runs Lvl 3 Taming Mastery.
A full Bard/Tamer is actually difficult to run, due to the sheer amount of skillpoints required. You'd need a lot of +Skill gear to make it work fully. You'd need 120 Music/120 Disco/120 Provo/120 Peace/120 Taming/120 Lore, and use equipment to boost your Magery/Meditation skills (the new "Codex of Shadows" and "Shadow Reaver Cloak" are great for this). That build would lack Vet.

Because the T-Rex deals 100% Physical Damage, he can quite easily be tanked by most any pet that is under Consume Damage. However, the biggest problem with the T-Rex, is that he frequently target switches to the Tamer, and will oftentimes Fear stun you at the same time, so you have to remain on your toes the entire time, even with a pet tanking him. The T-Rex has no Slayer (even Reptile and Dinosaur Slayer don't work on him :/), so he doesn't drop fast, even to Death Ray.

When i hunt the T-Rex, i usually do it with the combination of my Disco/Tamer with my Death Ray Tamer/Mage ©. The Disco/Tamer will Discord and use a 120 Chiv+AI 100% Energy Platinum Drake that's under Consume Damage to tank, while my Death Ray Tamer/Mage © uses a 120 Disco+CB Triton to debuff, as i run Death Ray. That drops the T-Rex's Energy Resist so low, that the Platinum Drake's auto attacks are hitting just as hard as it's AIs do, so 200+ damage auto attacks during EoO, lol.

My full bard tamer is probably my most used template, though I haven't used him for this event so I can fit in Detect Hidden, Lock Picking, etc. He's something like 115 Taming, 111 Lore, 480 in Barding skills, 100 Magery, and 50 - 60 med. That’s without the codex of shadows — I’ll have to consider that.

Part of the reason I wanted a Bushido/AI/Goo bear was to run spawns and dynamic events with that character. Sounds like an Chiv/AI bear would fit it well, too.

When a tamer returns I will help them make a blue beetle, give them 105 scrolls, and help them build it.
I grab a Cu, or now this Bear is close enough.

First place we go is the Great Ape. I show them the pits and how to get out. Then we grab the Ape and take him down the hall and kill it. I tell them to stay in the hall when the ape retreats, I bring him back

Then we go find or I make a clearing in TRexs range. We fight at that spot. I haven't had anyone die there before.

Make sure you get the quests first or u can't do damage.

The Great Ape is also the best place to get 30/30 Crafting Talismans, especially if you wear a high Luck Suit. I'll usually solo him with my Sampire while wearing a Dexxer Luck Suit, and use a 120 Disco+AP Vollem to debuff him. Between Disco, Corpse Skin, and Onslaught with a 100% Fire Double Axe spamming Double Strike, the Great Ape goes down pretty fast with Honor+EoO up.

Is there much of a difference between 20 stamina regen, 15 stamina regen, or 10 stamina regen? How important is it to have over 10 stamina regen?

It only loses stamina when hit hard or it is at low HP and gets hit hard. So, it depends on what mobs you fight.

It's a lot of fun.
I have three different tritons setup with AI-Chiv-FWW so wanted to do something different on this guy.

 

[ultima2005]

Is everyone 100% sure berserk only triggers at 50% health? I swear, the moment I cast it on my bear, he hits harder, and there are periods during which I can’t heal him. Maybe the effect is only at max effectiveness at 50% health?
