Duncan - that bane you have is amazing - 1 point shy of max resists! I wouldn't worry about the skills as all will max out at 100. Fully trained, your bane will be a 4.5 rated pet (based off the calculator).

See your bane is going to send me back to the abyss and bane farming. I was happy with my 4.2 rated draggy, but I now have a new goal!

That's one helluva bane...

This is my best so far. Hoping to improve, but not having much luck. But hey, I think I've got the first screen shot posted of a fully trained one... :)

JD, the taming calculator is very heavily weighted toward resists. While I think it is an excellent tool, I actually don't believe it's necessarily a great indicator of what makes the best pet.

For example, on GDs, the taming calculator severely undervalues high skills in wrestling, tactics and magery, which anyone that regularly hunts with a GD knows the value of. In PvP, balanced resist are sometimes more important than ultimate values (like one low resist can blow the whole deal); and physical and fire resists are certainly more important than the others because weapons naturally tend towards physical damage, while a large number of combat spells do fire damage.

Depending on the pet, some stats are more important than others. For example, high Str will show it's value in a lot of different situations. On the other hand, high int/mana is nearly pointless for non-spellcasting pets and should have zero weight in determining pet competency.

Back to the subject of this thread, this is my best:
Hits: 643
Stam: 125
Mana: 128

Physical: 70
Fire: 45
Cold: 45
Poison: 60
Energy: 38

Almost fully trained with just a few points of magery to go.

Taming a good bane dragon isn't that hard - finding a great one seems impossible!

The best I have just bonded this morning.
626 HP
113 Dex
131 Mana
Resists 69 / 47 / 40 / 58 / 40

Still looking for a better one.
