Does a consolidated list of special attacks exist? I mean a big tablecontaining useful information about each attack, such as what states they cause, what damage multiplier, etc. The descriptions in-game are at best vague and often thoroughly misleading.


If this doesn't exist anywhere already, I think I might just try create one! At least for Marksman/BH/Pistoleer specials to start with.

That sounds like a good idea. The description from the skill onion screen in game describes a little about the specials but not enough details that you would love to see. I don't know of any place that has all that comprehensive information, but if I do come across one, I would gladly share.

Has anyone ever made a pet with any of these special attacks; Force Strike, Posion Spray or Plague Strike. I have gatherd alot of dna that had these specials but have never succeded in making a pet with these special attacks. I would also be interested in the area combo special although I have not yet collected any dna with this attack. I have only recently attained Master BE and had a luxery yacht full of dna with the posion spray and still did not get a pet with that attack.

IIRC the problem hasn't been getting the specials to stick, but rather that they didn't work on the pets in the field. Perhaps a more seasoned MBE can correct/clarify that, but that is what I understood the problem to be.

Any AoE attack (poison spray, area combo, force strike, open wounds, etc) is coded not to come through - it never will, ever ever, under the current system, and thats the intention of the devs.

Pet special attacks were broken (yep, all of them) when the Combat Upgrade went live back in May. We've been suffering ever since. Hopefully, Publish 21 (currently in Test Center) will fix this in a big way with what's sounding more and more like a really intriguing new system for acquiring and teaching specials.
