I do better dps with my scout pet than caster pet, would anyone else like to have an option other than the warlock pet?

Arkanis

id like the mythical to just be a small planeshift buff that is perma and cant be dispelled that buffs up our current pet to a m4 status so you could use the scout and fighter when needed.

the scout pet would be interesting with the current pet crit gear and the pet mastery adding 20% more dmg

Kivz

I really think it should just be a buff that changes your current *all your pets* to a M4

Scout pet is so bleh I love the guy have a M1 scout but he cant take hits from even regular solo mobs worth a damn and doesnt even do that great of dps

necrodarth

I like the buff Idea better, lol. That would be real nice.

I love using my scout pet, taking aoe's suck unless I use my blocker and drain my power and health.

SirAmoel

Yeah, Blood Pact is a must to use your scout in raids. And you can't keep it up all that long either, unless you want to be the first one to run oop. So you need someone to shout AoE's over vent, even if they were neglectible for all players but your pet.

It's been a while since I last tried my scout pet on a raid... Maybe that new gear and new AA make him worth it?

Avaela

if you don't suck bp is easy to keep up 99% of the time.

Davngr

there was a time in T6 & T7 when scout pet was the way to go, but with all the aoe/stuns/riptose/stifle/fear/kichen sink effects you want to keep your pet as far away from the mob as you can for the most part.

SirAmoel

Oh sure... Keep interleaving power suckers into my rotation? Or how else might I be sucking to you, oh Almighty Necro of Überness?

So, and after that thought... I'll go for understanding that by "not sucking" you mean something else, because I for one don't suck at playing my class. I might not be the next Sciomar, but I don't know why *you* might care.

So, what's that mighty secret for keeping BP up 99% of the time, that I obviously don't know about?

Sciomar

Hey now don't bring my scrubbishness into this!
The secret is...
Pro illusionists/coercers, power procing items (like avatar earrings/trixy cane help), and dispersion gear. Most fights these days involve some ae so getting that dispersion proc up often really helps keep bloodpact up full time. Also a larger power pool helps give higher returns from demilich, I know I preach hp hp hp...but power pool is pretty important too (tho it builds fairly well with raid gear). I've gone thru entire zones with bp up and not gone oop.

Really comes down to the luck of the raid make up and gear drops...but it is possible to use bp full time.
