Another approach you can use (one of my favorite tricks) is to use DNA from creatures with high kinetic as a special protection but no armor. Combine this with DNA from a creature with very high fortitude (mutant rancors, for example) and you'll be able to get light armor to stick and boost the kinetic resists. Slinking Voritor Hunters and Prowling Gurrecks are great for this.

Try frenzied (65%, AR1) and ancient (60% AR1) grauls on Dant. West of the imp outpost.

WHat slots would you put the DNA and experiment points into to keep both armor and the resists up? Im a noob at this and Ive just been using misc rancor dna, bulls, youths, etc, and experimenting on physique to get the hams up. Best Ive got so far is 12632 health, AR1, and 34% kenetic.

The following formula will produce 56-57% kinetic, light armor, decent energy, and no vulnerabilities (as well as reasonable specials and decent HAM):

• physical: mutant rancor


• action: frenzied graul


• mind: frenzied graul


• psych: prowling gurreck


• aggr: prowling gurreck

CL will be around 50. You can substitute slinking voritor hunter DNA for the prowling gurreck DNA, but this will result in a vulnerability to acid. Slinking voritors are much easier to find than prowling gurrecks, so it might be worth the tradeoff. You can boost the kinetic to 60% by doing another generation of this, combining it with frenzied graul DNA to boost the kinetic to the 60% mark (this will almost certainly create vulnerabilties to electricity, however).

Experiment physical up all the way (3 successes). Where you spend the other points depends a bit on what you are looking for. HAM will probably be lower than what you produced, but easily in the 11.5k range.

dont forget horned voritors, they is awesome

This pet was made with straight Ancient Graul DNA for the higher energy resist...

Whats it's damage? It's chopped off on the pic...

The only critters I know of that have 60% + kenetic and AR1 are the frenzied graul and merek harvester. Is there any others out there I can go after to get the top shelf DNA?

Thanks in advance.

Bark Mite Burrower CL 55
Bark Mite Burrower Queen CL 60

Some Bark Mite Borrower Queen DNA was used to make a Razor Cat tank for me. No Armor though to attempt to keep the creature level near 30. I still want the option of calling other tanks.

Not sure, I only put 2 points into agression to keep the HAM high, I'll check when I log in and post it...

My reply:

I have asked for advice from the community and have yet to receivea response to my specific question.

I will answer yours. If you collect Merek Harvestor DNA and only experiment on phy to get AR1 you will get a pet 44-47. Sample this pet and you can reduce the CL to bout 31-36 depending on where you place the dna.

This will give you a pet depending on placement of dna at CL < 35.

Test it for yourself.
