I want a Myth Scout pet!!! - Page 2

Regarding the scout pet, I experimented with the Conjuror version in VP. It does fairly well compared to the non-mythical Mage pet...if you can get melee buffs for it. The only way that's gonna happen is if you're grouped with classes that buff melee (Dirge, Coercer, Illusionist, Berserker, Mystic mainly). Even then the buff your pet needs (IA from an Illy for example) would be much better placed on an actual player, even if it's a Troubador.

And to be honest, if you can help it, why would you stick a Necro or Conjuror in a Melee DPS group in the first place instead of a Rogue or Predator? Your place is in a Mage DPS group, where the Mage pet will benefit the most and the Scout pet won't be worth shit.

I'd love to see a useful Scout pet for non-raiding if it had very good single target DPS.

In TSO this seems to be true, but in RoK 90% of fights it was safe to let your mythical pet go in and /pet melee, unless the mob has some assrape distance based AoE (Silverwing) or some nasty reactive (Druushk, Trakanon, Venril Sathir).

I have Master scout pet, and Master howl (missing master rending) I dont have any of the TSO armor but do have quicksilver blood III , his dps is less than desirable, with a bard in the group thou hes fairly decent, he hits for 700 - 1900 piercing dmg, his poisions hit like they always do, with rare spikes for a 2.4k crit

Havent tryed him with scout spec yet, im tank speced atm for finishing my quests in TSO

Althou I still feel fairly cheated from this class, haveing a huge part of our class not scale worth jack is really disheartening. Im sure it is slightly better with TSO gear but since im a necro/casual/ dont have mythical, I cant get tso void shard groups to save my life

can't wait till necros get some real group utility. because right now i totally agree with you if i don't start the groups or if someone in the group don't know me as a good necro it's hard to get invites expecialy for the harder(funner) zones since you almost have to min/max the players that go.

yea sess the pet din't die but still got stuned/feared/stiffled and whatever else =p

Ok i know i started a thread saying i wanted a server that i could buy my Myth with (Vp run) after my Origonal guild Mythic legion on runneye declined me (i took a 3month break) .... after raiding with them for a year blah blah top 3 in parse for long enough blah blah ....i moved server.....

up until last night i was Scout pet thru and thru ...the scout pet out dps's the mage pet on solo mobs with one hand .... no contest - my gear is good with a couple of great items, before TSO i was parsing 4-5K in raids Illy in group Troub, wiz. Once i got TSO gear - few items with Spell crit bonus etc and alot of reduced cast timings i mananged to start huitting 5K without lifeburn or tide - 7K with Lifeburn/Tide .....

My OOOOH so fabulous mythical is pumping out a WHOPPING 4.4K WTF!!?? ive boosted spell crit to 86% solo on the training wall....ive changed gear to spell% bonus - choker and VW boots , 2%cape with TSO sleeves giving me ooh at a rough guess 30% addition damage when it procs the way u want .....3.4K !!!!!! ive changed my AA outta the agi line - i had Zero points in the Int line before i got my myth all in that now to help pet and it sucks

Does it need to work on its skills?

I parsed and parse...training wall has been decimated by me now around 100 times ....i dont lifeburn or tide on the wall and im between 3.4K - 3.6K ... If i Lifeburn im up at 4.4K .... im about to begin whacking the wall again, ill have to pay another 20p to reset my aa in roughly 2hrs if this desont start to hold water for me .....

Id just like to take this opertunity to thank SoE for the dangling Carrot that has kept me glued to Eq and for the ALMIGHTY let down that they served with a smile!

VW boots suck imho go with phantom boots of the waste for now or maybe the tso void boots idk never looked at them? Whats your boe at?

Bawja'ss · 12-19-2008, 09:38 PM

I changed my AA back and got a steady 3.5K with a couple of 3.8-3.9K parses with the scout pet. I did notice how ever that the proc on the 12% chance doesnt like the wall. it only went off say 1 in 3 fights compared to fighting a mob.

i want to make this work im paying another 10p to change back and ill sort out my casting order the Tick increase adds 40 per tick to the dot ie. cast is 200 tick 240 tick 280 tick 320 etc etc but it does make me wonder if this is nerfing the Crit % on the tick which is alot more tha just a 40 , 80 and in most cases the 120 tick increase if this is so then that means i need to re parse with a whole new set of gear .....

The VWBoot so far have always increased my DPS in raids ,groups are mininal but with the choker sleeves etc its better to have them on - i have Queen silk slippers in my bag 78 summor ones also. Proc items arent comming up to scratch the way id like also ......trouble ahead
