PE pet buffs - Page 3

Yah, when I played my coercer a while back on Avatar of Storms, I found those sirens off the southern coast of TS to be quite handy ... the Dirge Songs buff scales up along with the level of the pet and applies to the group in full.

Aye the Dirge mobs in RE are the Grougers (sp?) goblins in the Sand dude's room, the ^^ boremen in the first AE room and 1 of the last group of 5 goblins around the table before the epic always has a Dirge in it, just have to pull him out.

I grab one of the first drakes I find in VP and if it isn't a troub, keep it around until I find a pet that shows the troub buff, then switch them out. PE has a slow cast time but it refreshes quickly so there's no problem dismissing and recasting during the fight.

My parses definitely improved with the pet, and with the troub pet specifically. I was pleasantly surprised to find that one of the fiery golem dudes on the second floor was a troub as well. I was sure I wouldn't be able to find another troub pet after I accidentally killed my pet and there he was.

how about zerker pet's? no real group buff but really nice autoattack dps

Zerkers, brawlers, assasins have all done nice DPS for me when I couldn't find a bard. SK's are ok too, and everywhere.

Fnar, the Sandscrawler Guests are dirges too iirc. I still have yet to find a troub in RE2 though... /sadpanda.

i have yet to find a troub in re as well and yeah the buffs seem to be working must have just been buggy for a bit for me.

anyhow someone mentioned this in the coer channel but you can make a custom trigger in act using the tier1 ( think maybe its teir2) troub and dirge spells so that it alerts you when you have a bard.

.*?Kian's Destructive Anthem.*

thats the one i use for troubs i havent set the one for dirges yet.. but it works well not 100% but its nice i just grab the first pe i can and wait for that to trigger then i grab that one and from what ive seen the troubs will cast that always within the first 10-15 secs of a fight

.*?Singing Strike.*

i use that for dirge but i need to find their debuff cuz this one isnt as accurate.

anyhow thought i would share and let you all run with it im sure someone has some tweaks to make it even more useful

A good Dirge one is .*?Reproaching Discante.* as the AI will always preface combat with that, then run in for autos.

cool i added that one in will test it ummm soon hehe our vp was cleared last night

The cooks in RE2 are dirges as well and I have yet to see a troub myself there.
