Skilling healing on a pet

[Laura_Gold]

in the 80s.
I was a ghost for hours, and the skill moved only 0.7
How do I get that to budge from 80 to 100?
from 100-110?
from 110-120?

Raising Healing

From what I've read, the only way to raise the healing skill above 90 on a pet is to kill the rotting corpses. Is this really the ONLY way?

Ideas there.

110-120: What I do is the following.

1. Discord the pet (either with the tamer, or someone grouped/allied that can target it with negative actions), with someone invising the bard quickly to break the aggro then the bard immediately moving, breaking the invis to keep the discord active. This gets the Healing skill down to where it will get gains. DO NOT remount, if it's a ridable pet.
2. Invoke the humility virtue, which drops you and your pet's resists by 70. That way, it will have a lot more damage to heal.
3. Gate/recall to a spot with the spellweaving elf bandits or orc mages (like the places on the Umbra-to-Luna road). The bard (if not the tamer) will need to come along as well and stay visible and within visual range of the pet at all times.
4. Let the pet have his way with the bandits, calling it back for some healing (or using distance healing like the taming or provo masteries) if its healing can't keep up. Do that for an hour or more. You'll probably max out the virtue in 2-4 hours, if you want that for your Virtue Wheel.

Gains will be slow - but you'll actually get gains.

5 slimes or snakes work good just bond them have the cu stay n tell the slimes to attack it. Sit back n wait

I just used Rotting Corpses all the way. Paragon ones for 115+. Just tell the pet "all stop" and "all stay" pet just stands and heals, never attacks.

 

[Kir]

I use Dimetrosaur in Eodon island and Disco my pet to make sure it can't cure the poison, two of them are good if you can keep your pet HP up.

Pretty good for Chiv too.

Yep. I have an EJ Tamer that has 5 Snakes/Slimes in the stables, all trained up to 125 DEX/GM Wrest/GM Poisoning, just for training Healing on pets. They constantly inflict Lethal Poison (Lvl 5), and will keep the pet gaining up to 110.0 Healing. At that point, i discord the Healing pet, and pull off all but one or two Snakes/Slimes (more than that outdamages the healing/regen of the pet). Takes me 4-5 hours to go from fresh-spawn level Healing, to 120 on a pet that way.

How do you train the slimes up to GM wrestle Gm Poisoning?

 

[Branden]

Tell the healing pet to stay n have the slime attack it. The healing pet will just heal while the snakes/slimes attack the pet in return they will raise skills as they inflicted poison n DONT forget to do consume to help skill gains won’t take long to GM the snakes n/or slimes

 

[Riner]

I tried taming slimes and they can't be tamed? What am I missing here - I was thinking just going to the underworld and fighting whatever is spawned. But I do like the idea of having trained up slimes.

You can't tame the Slimes in the Underworld. You can tame them in a Swamp.

ok thanks!

I'm trying to raise healing on my Cu so I went to Dimo island - gathered up two dimetrosaurs and she's getting poisoned often. Healing has been stuck for 30ish minutes at 99.2. She's scrolled 110 in healing. I tried disco'ing her a few times and everything, but healing went down. Will keep at it for a bit but was wondering if anyone knew anything which might help?

 

[ultima2005]

Buy a cloak of corruption and let your pet heal you as you wear it.

 

[Anon McDougle]

All these are great tricks but if only all skill in uo would gain correctly through normal game play... i remember telling my 12 year old son yes get a dagger and govto sheep pen to train parry...

Discoing a pet doesn't lower the healing skill.

 

[Riner]

Finally clicked past - now at 102.7 very slow but it goes up!

it lowers anatomy. Otherwise will be no gains after 110 healing.

 

[Keith of Sonoma]

I know.

Discoing a pet does indeed lower Healing skill, it just doesn't display the lowered skill on the animal lore sheet.

How do you have 5 bonded pets and a cu out at the same time ?

I'm in the process of training up my 5 snakes. It's a very slow process.

Not very slow. And slimes need lower taming /lore by the way.
First you need slime /snake stamina at 120 . You do it raising resist.
Cast paralyze fields in FEL with another account having 0 EvaInt . Run over them with slimes.
Or use Ortanord in TerMur to train all 5 (you will need to heal them)

 

[Branden]

I just used my slimes once they bonded on the thing I wanted to train healing took a bit but It worked n it fully trained them

While Slimes require lower Taming/Lore, they also have 1-5 Base Damage. Snakes have 1-4 Base Damage, so are slightly safer to use on a pet.

Yes, it's best to reach 120+ Stamina on them before you start training their Wrest up. You can do this with Spectral Spellbinders in New Haven. Once a pet maxes it's Resist skill, it's STR/DEX will skyrocket up to 125 if it keeps getting spammed with resistable spells. Doesn't take that long for a single pet (especially with the use of Whispering), but having to do it individually for 5 pets can take a couple hours.
It takes awhile to set up 5 Slimes/Snakes with 120+ Stamina/GM Wrest/GM Poison, but once you do have them, you can use them to quickly train another account's pets up to 120 Healing pretty fast, whether it's your own pets or a guildmate's. The more pets you train to 120 Healing with them, the more value and time saved you get by having these five Snakes/Slimes. So basically a high upfront time investment, that ends up saving you a lot more time in the long run, especially if you use them to train Healing on multiple pets.

I usually use a disarmed Gregorio for training Wrest/Tact on pets with low Wrest/Tact skills, then Discord the pets once their Wrest/Tact gets too high, and then they can start gaining Wrest/Tact again (oftentimes up to GM then). Gregorio is perfect for training Anatomy/Poison/Magic skills on too, due to his immunity to pet damage and when disarmed his low Wrest makes him easy to land hits on (he dishes out virtually no damage too when disarmed).

Another trick to training, is having an Archer in party running "Play the Odds" on cooldown to buff the pets. With 120 Archery/GM Tact/Lvl 3 Primer, Play the Odds will provide +45% HCI/+30% SSI to party (and their pets) for 60 seconds, with a 90 second cooldown (so 2/3 uptime). Pets will successfully land hits much more often due to the +45% HCI (and therefore get more chances to gain skill), and the +30% SSI will allow even sub-150 Stamina pets to reach max swing speed (once again accelerating the rate of skill gain). The +HCI/+SSI also helps counteract the debuffs from Discordance on your pet.

Same goes for poisoning
