Thread: RE: LVL70 Creature to tank Night Sisters
Well, in terms of dealing out damage, all BE pets will be doing kinetic damage to your opponents, so nothing can be done there.
In terms of absorbing damage, 60% is the maximum for kinetic resistances, 100% is the maximum for electric resistances, and light armor is the best armor available. But before you ask for 60% kinetic, 100% electricity, and light armor on the same pet... it aint gonna happen, so you need to think in terms of priorities. Realistically, around 50% kinetic and 90% electricity is possible, or 40% kinetic 100% electricity is possible. Oh, and the more stringent the requirements in terms of resists, the less opportunity there is for specifying particular specials, so you need to be mindful of that. If you need 100% electricity resist, the poison special cannot be done for example, so like I said before, try to prioritize what is most and least important to you.

What are some of the possibilities you have seen that may work. It would need kinetic and electric resists, although I have no idea what the max values are for a BE'd creature. Is the only damage type available to BE'd creatures Kinetic or do some have acid? Can a creature have a primary special of strong posion and a secondary special of medium posion?
Thank you for any suggestions

TY for the response. My priority would be 100% Electric to negate entirely the NS Force Lightining they tend to use on creatures alot, then Kinetic for obvious reasons, poison or intimidate last becuase many NS I hunt will hvae high kinetic resist so poison would allow some DOT damage or intimidate might provide a slight reduction in damage to the creature. Can MBEs control the secondary stats of a creature to any extent?

I have personally fought a couple of Nightsisters with my own BE pets and they do not last long. Yes, I was only using light armor 60% kinetic pets with no electricity resists so it may be different with electricity resists. I tried spamming intimidation attack of my pets and the nightsister did not get intimidated at all.
Right now, pets are too weak to tank any tough mobs. If you are a melee fighter, chances are that you tank way better than any BE pets. If that's the case then, I suggest you use your pet as a ranged support with some nice state change special attacks.
I think that you would be much better off with good resist across the board, unless you get some tailor made pets with very high resist/immunities for the attacks used by a special NPC. A Mantigrue Reaper clone is pretty nice, 40 k/e, 0 heat though, the rest are at 70%.
