Am I the only one

Why does everything immediately have to be an argument with you?

Civil discussion is just too challenging, is that it?

Why you gotta come into this thread, rustle up all these nice people? Got nothing better to do than to come into Skittlez's thread and SHOW YOUR ASS?

There's merits to both for sure. It's nice having a quad pet who absolutely rapes but it can be somewhat unruly. I personally the damage output difference in a full group makes a caster more appealing with a smaller group (duo/trio) benefitting more from greater DPS.

Best pets IMO are SK's. Vampiric curse on a hasted weaponized pet is unreal for longevity. Add in some staves and it starts to get stupid.

Rogues. Rogues are the best.

60 enc with an imp pet in SolB is pants-shittingly terrifying dps.

I should have specified caster pets. Although an SK isn't a true caster it loosely fits the definition. Rogues are definitely the best all around but they're few and far between (for good reason lol).

There's merits to charming some casters, but for the most part - pure melee mobs are much better since you don't get the DPS loss and Pell-spam that Freez mentioned.

You do run into scenarios where you need to charm a mob due to it's location, and whether or not it is a caster is irrelevant. If you HS or Seb farm items like a pro - this is actually the case the majority of the time - you use what's there.

There are also mobs that are casters that simply have way better stats than other mobs of the same level.

Anyhow, back to OP - STR melee DPS, STR/STA/DEX the tank, and tell everyone else to fuck right off.

its called color slant

if i can handle a charmed krup knight with vog and weapons solo all day in seb theres no reason why someone in a group needs a caster. I promise you its alot less dps.

on blue u cant even hit other players with your aoe stun, if you arent charming the meanest beast you can find youre not top tier.

color slant is a long enough stun to cast, and land your boltrans before stun wears.

its so easy its not even funny.

Thank you for coming into a thread about buffing and sharing your expertise.

You can go back to the Land of Half-Rate Enchanters or wherever it was you came from.

If you are always grouping with an enchanter, you shouldn't be buffing haste anyhow, the enchanter should. As far as Strength goes, let's say it only boosts the each melee toon's dps by only .05 dps. Not much you say, but let's do the math. 3 melee toons in your group, so that's .15 dps which is 9 extra damage a minute and the buff lasts 45 minutes, so you get 405 extra damage. Not bad for 180 mana. That's more damage and mana efficient than your dots and I'm being extremely convervative on how much strength boosts damage. Maybe I'm wrong though.
