Greetings,
I left UO back in 2000 but just came back about a month ago. So much has changed. I was to intimidated to play a tamer back in the days but decided to give it a shot this time around. I tried to read up on good pets since I got no clue what's the meta nowadays especially with the pet training system. It would seem Cu, Lesser Hiryu and Beetles are the go to pets for most people. My question is on the beetles. There's so many beetles such as the frost mite, giant beetle, fire beetle and rune beetle.
1) It seems rune curruption is why people even use a beetle since it's the only pet that has access to RC?
2) RC is good for party play since it lowers the targets resist by 50%
3) if the purpose is party play on bosses then just RC as the single skill is the best option since RC does not last very long? So it's best to force the beetle to only cast RC all the time.
4) any reason why people mainly use the giant beetle? I see only blue beetles and a few fire beetles running around on my server. Is rune beetle bad? I have only seen one rune beetle and zero frost mite so far.
Sorry for the noobie questions, answers to my questions or additional info is appreciated.
