Do you prefer to make high health or high armor pets? For example, yesterday I tried making a lvl 70 pet and resulted in the following (sorry I can't remember the exact stats):

Pet A:

Health:6900

Armor: 4100

TH: 160

Def: 140

Regen: 60

Regen Rate: 630

Resist:30%

Damage:100-400

Pet B:

Health:7100

Armor:3500

TH: 160

Def: 140

Regen: 60

Regen Rate: 630

Resist:30%

Damage 100-397

Pet C:

Health: 7900

Armor: 2400

TH: 155

Def: 120

Regen: 44

Regen Rate: 430

Resist:30%

Damage: 98-393

Which would you decide to keep?

Oh one more thing, I also read that the armor rating will go down once it's tamed to match creature lvl? Would pet A be affected then?

Thanks in advance for your inputs

Go for high health mate as the number you get on a crafted pet means diddly squat the number will always adjust to a set value for it's level range once tamed and grown.

and also self-adjusting to make plain-vanilla pets:

• armor (as mentioned before)


• to hit


• defence

So, what your saying is, throw everything into damage, health, and agro....?

Although aggro will adjust as well. As Dor said, it's all the same bland flavor. Nothing we do to make an exceptional or even above average pet is really going to stick upon maturity of said pet. Weno longer bio-engineer petsso much as wehave been relegated to puppy farmers.

As many others have mentioned it doesn't really matter because the armor shifts where it wants to.

However, if it didn't I bet we'd have an answer. I brought this up when the system first debuted. Since there is no special resists, not even for Kinetic vs. Energy, the total effective health is now comparable.

Pre-CU you couldn't compare because of the AP ratings & damage types. Now something with 5000 health and 2000 armor has the same effective health as a pet with 4000 health and 4000 armor. They both can take ~6000 points of damage till they keel over.

Assuming they both affect the CL the same I'd recommend the higher armor pet over the higher health one. Reason being if you had to heal your pets, say you heal for 1000 points, the percentage is greater on the lower health / higher armor pet.
