Lowest level malo line generates the same agro as the higher level. 60 mana,but its the best youll find.

I thought this as well.

Yea Bio orb is the best bet by a long shot. Otherwise you gotta pack a scepter of forlorn.

Bio orb wouldn’t be a horrible item to have in general, if it blinds them I wonder if it would stay on the pet or go running. If the latter the water pet might get a few backstabs in. Also, serrated bone dirks are cheap, not lore, and would be low level enough to proc as pet weapons.

https://youtu.be/-RZevG64Kj8?feature=shared - This is a video of a Mage soloing an Ice Burrower on P99. But they have Epic.

That was more amusing than I expected, cool kill. I wonder how many more hitrounds the https://wiki.project1999.com/Sainy%27s_Singing_Dagger bought the second epic pet.

I would probably go with totems instead of a scepter because they're cheap and cheap to recharge. Also I would not be surprised if a mage could come up with a trophy or loot kill that would benefit from spamming them for the stun.

I think you would still end up chaining pets, as they do pretty high aggro compared to these clicks. But I think they could let you get away with fewer pets.

I doubt you would land the orb or a serrated bone dirk pet proc even after mala.

If the blind does land, the pet will be attacked. That is the downside to blind kiting in comparison to fear kiting, you can't use pets while blind kiting. The upside to blind kiting is it can work on mobs 55+.

But obviously this specific scenario isn't blind kiting, the bio orb would just be used to build agro, and the assumption is it will be resisted most of the time.

Vivitron is correct, totem would be better than scepter of the forlorn. You could have a scepter too for a quick agro dump, but they are harder to get since they can't be recharged. Totems are much easier to recharge on a per fight basis.

You can land them, but it's a low chance for sure. I was able to slow Ice Burrowers after a Malo, but it took multiple attempts.

Yeah if you were going to use an item to build aggro, the totems are the way to go. I use them for certain solo fights for the stun.

Oh of course, good call. Fast casting too.

If you are going to aggro kite, definitely want to use a water pet. The cold DD shouldn’t have an aggro component like stun or root, plus it will backstab.

I would likely either farm up crystalline spider silks to keep the target rooted on pet kills/resummons or drag it around in an open space spamming Totems. In my experience Malo has very little aggro compared to a PC casted fun. Even if your class can’t cast the spell.

Can't wait to get the item with Effect: fun ! :P

Jokes aside, I will prioritize the totems then. Since the silks are now too expensive to recharge, I would like to not use any "consumables" (unless they are cheap, like malachites and stun totems).

[Snaggles]

Mala and Sini is the cheat code for clickies like the Totem of the Forlorn and the Midnight Mallet, and it can’t hurt for stun whips with the pet. Trying to interrupt a blue con’s casting otherwise (like with a pally) is a coin flip. I’d pack a reaper and cap too.

I like the control of an earth pet but outside the epic a focused air is the GOAT for tanking stuff that can be stunned. It takes significantly less damage per second than the earth.

This all assumes close-quarter fighting. For mobs that can’t summon a sow pot to start and jboots combined with a water pet and totems seems the magic formula. I still think messing with an Ice Burrower kill would be for a sadist.

I think on blue it’s like 100p. Nice way to dump an instant 1800 damage into something.
