I keep getting request on things like: Best Pets to use in Battles, good attack combos, PvP tips, ect.
Soo imma start alittle post like for these types of request. They wont be monthly or anything. They'll just pop up when I see fit! So don't go getting too excited. :P
For this one, I think i'll just throw out a few tricks I've found that can help speed up your battles.
Sear Magic (Spell) is pretty common and goes under several names. Main thing is that it'll remove effects. But did you know you can use it to remove the undead revival effect? That means if your the faster pet just go ahead and knock that newly revived ghoul off his rocker before he can kill you or take off with a chunk of health!
Heal on Kill Abilities are great. But you have to remember a few things. One: Two round abilities (atleast most of them are) will still go for two rounds even if you don't want it to. Two: You wont get that heal if the pet isn't staying dead, that means Survival (spell), Undeads Revival, and Mechanicals 20% reboot will prevent you from getting that heal. Best to keep those in mind while trying to lengthen your pets attacking life!
Increase Damage abilities can make a HUGE dent but its best to watch how you pair them. If you have enough health for two more attacks, a spell like stampeade (3 round spell) is a stupid choice unless your plan is to bring heavy attacks with your next pet. The 1-2 round debuff of Howl and the like is great, but make sure you don't waste a single round with charging attacks or switching/dying early. Dragonkin passive is probably the best well known, get the target down low enough and get a power boost-just make sure you don't over do it if you can cause more damage over all. Longer lasting but weaker ones like Roar will give you usually two-three rounds of 25% increased damage (via a buff on you or debuff to them), these have shorter cooldowns and often do abit of damage while applying-these are good for normal rotations and more easily sacrificed.
On the note of increasing damage: Be aware of attacks that will either shield and prevent damage on you or reduce the damage the other pet can do. If your dealing with a pet that will be hitting hard all the time, you want to reduce it where you can with shields and dodges. If you know they have a very hard hitting attack then you want to try and prevent that damage whenever possible-very easy to predict in NPC battles, not so much in PvP!
Well, that's my suggestions for the day! Happy Hunting!
