This also works for the Beginning and/or Broke/Frugal Tamer as well. These are very cheap builds. Largest expense is the Triton it's self. But, you can make do with a 110-115 Wrestle Triton (most seem to just kill those off as they can't be sold, so they should be cheap if not given away), it would just take longer for you to run it. These pets each have room for 120's, but honestly it is not needed. Even with being scrolled to just 110 they each clear the place out.
The rooms are the rooms, most beginning Tamers struggle with the Bosses. My advise?
Get you one of these:
No need to worry about the Physical Resist imho as that is what Consume Damage is for. Imo having a high Physical Resist defeats the purpose of running Consume. You want the pet to take and absorb the Physical Damage. The quicker it absorbs enough damage the quicker it releases. So you want the pet to have enough resists to survive if you are run off, but at the same time take a good bit of damage to absorb quicker so it can gain the hit chance advantage quicker. Of course opinions on this vary greatly... so, to each their own. I am not sure why though... as uo.com spells it out kind of plainly.
I personally like the 60/70/70/80/85 build best. But finding a high wrestling/resist Triton with only 85 Energy was getting to be a pain.
Of course you need a combination of skill and/or MR to run Consume indefinitely and still cast some. Don't have that? Go with the Highest Physical Resist you can as they all hit that pretty hard or completely. The exception being Jou'nar who hits 20 damage type across the board.
Juo'nar is by far the toughest. Be ready to abandon the pet if needed. E-blot the Skeleton Dragons with a even a basic Spellbook dragon slayer, it makes quick work of them.
Also, if you have the advantage of a second account (even if it is just a Time of Legends enabled EJ one) bring a rezzer, park them in the corner away from the action just in case.

Forgot a key piece of info. There is a 'sweet spot' where consume damage works but Virtuebane's big explosion does not hit you. Basically stay away from him, go forward one tile, try consume, it does not work? Go another tile closer and try again. As soon as Consume activates you are in that spot. Orange petal up and wait for him to attack you. Invis, go back to sweet spot. Rinse, repeat.
