One suggestion would be to get multiple pets. You can have up to three. Train one to be a tank pet for instances. Train the others for other specialties. For example, I’m currently working on a pet that will have the highest fire resistance that I will use primarily for farming fire elementals.
As far as Stamina vs. Resistance, if you’re going for an all purpose pet, I’d put as much as you can into armor and stamina, then use the rest to give a boost to one resistance. In general, I think you’re better off putting points into stamina over resistance. Even if you max out a resistance, you’re still only going to use that resistance a fraction of the time given that only a fraction of the mobs hit with that school of magic. So, IMO, for an all purpose pet.
I’m looking for some opinions.
My pet boar just hit level 70 last night and now I’ve got to decide what to do with his training points. Currenly, I have all but one of them used up, but along with that is 120 (?) points in maximum Arcane resistance. (I don’t remember why I picked Arcane…it made sense at the time and I haven’t retrained him since I got to Outland).
Now I’m thinking of retraining him to make him a solid all-around solo tank with reasonable survivability in instances without have to respec him for each one. I plan on spending some time in the Elemental Plateau area (currently undercamped on my server), which means that Fire resistance might be a benefit. By the same token, Fire resistance obviously does nothing for me against other forms of magic.
If I’m not mistaken, the bonus to his HP pool would be fairly mediocre if I put the 120 (?) points from
Any suggestions? Would you choose stamina over magic resistance if you were hoping to avoid frequent retraining, or is there a particular kind of magic you find yourself facing a lot more than others at level 70 that makes having resistance a consistant benefit?-I tink I made an angry poo-poo!
