Thread: Epic Pets CL 70's and evolving their stats beyond!
/smack
go to your room for making yourself sound so great when you've done about 15 minutes more research than a newly respecc'd BE.
You want high aggro - put something with high courage in thepsych slot. Oh wait, they nerfed the high courage DNA from shear mites and other animals that other people named but i never go around to checking so forget that ... but you ought to be able to find something with 300 courage anyway if you look.
High health? put something with high hardiness in the physique. Want really high health? Get elite dna with hardiness of 1000. Maybe use all elite for your health. there's lots of elites - kashyyyk ryatt trail, narglatch cave is it on naboo sin? the warren has elite huurtons...
High armor - sorry dude - looks nice on the deed but it means squat b/c it adjusts after taming. Ditto on defence. Ditto on to hit.
You want high damage - put something with high power in the aggression slot! or don't. put it one of the other slots so it doesn't go TOO high. After all if you get damage over 499 (ish) your pet won't be able to be called when it grows up. Whose got 1000 power? double elites on kashyyyk to start with.
stupid double - posting forums

THEN you start playing. Can't make it high damage b/c then high health pushes it over CL 70 and you have to toss it (or sell it for 1M to someone who doesn't know any better). Get to the point where you can eyeball something that makes a GOOD pet for a CH. Even better BE a CH and a master BE so you can learn what to look for on a deed (oh except it changes after taming - don't forget that little thing).
This is monster mashing at it's finest.
PEOPLE who Kivrin named - pre-CU evolutionists - THEY were the bomb (include Lammergier in there and many many others). THEY were the ones who took DNA and did weird generational things on it to get highest health and damage and the resists you wanted and the specials you wanted. Too bad we haven't got a time machine to go back and challenge YOU to make a good pet then - bet you couldn't do it.Heck you just showed us a fairly mediocre one as your BEST ???!!!!
I'm being an uber-troll and flaming here .... goodie my first flaming post !!! Woot. Who wants to go over to Kettemore and re-grind BE and put these clowns out of business. I used to charge like 2K a level dropped to 1.5K a level - !!!!
Thank you for your informative post sir.

. With all the changes, bugs and nerfs, it is hard to understand completely how BE is working for a novice. I have read the stickies and many posts and it is very confusing to say the least. I am hoping that BE gets some love soon and can once again become a stable profession.

Not 100% sure myself but they have a <> or a <<>> around their name.... maybe.
As far as i can figure out (and I've not seen that many double elites) ...
The elite looks like this:
< species name > O
(circle contains level and looks like anything else - it had a stripe before but i think is gone when they did the <> instead)
The double elite looks like this:
<< IamspeciallookIhavemyownname (species name) >> O
mileage may vary on this. Also the elite seemed to have 1000 hardiness, where the double elite had 1000 hardiness and 1000 power. I speak not of dexterity but think it was 1000 on both of them as well.

No no no no no no no I can name a whole bunch of people who know what they are doing more than me - honest! Cin, Lammergier, Braccus, Kivrin, (you)...that's just off the top of my head. Really ... I need more practice before i can get that label.

Dor don't you dare sell yourself short - you have added greatly to the BE knowledge base. Keep on trollin' and help keep us on our toes.
