The Grandaddy of all Arachnids, the Acklay from the Genosian Lab and EpII, or at least a Leveled-down version of it to, say 95-98.

Even though they're lower levels then regular Gurrecks, they just inspire more roleplaying in me.

I recently spotted some Prowling Gurreck babies so if I go back to CH to a level high enough for one I'm certainly in for a treat. Gotta respect the 65 kinetic resists, even when it's no light armour rating.


While we're in dreamland anyway, I wish they'd up the maximum number of pets out at one time. Call me nuts, but I kinda like the idea of having a full pack of Wrix's of various kinds travelling with me. (perceptive among you might notice I have a thing for wrix's and the like, can't help myself )


As far as fighting goes, BE pets seem pretty much the way to go. I mean, there's not that many useful high-armour pets around, and none whatsoever to match stuff like 10K HAM and 50% light kinetic armour. With that kind of stats, my gurrcat could tank about anything, though it unfortunately didn't allow any other useful animal to be called at the same time.






One of my guildmates has a bunch of skill tapes that let him have additional pets out at once, you can make a SICK army of pets this way, especially using some of the non-CH pets that have decent ham,and good kinetic resists. His scariest"pack" is his army of durni death (I think there is 4 or 5 of em,) they are all BE'd pets with different specials, they have dizzy, KD, posturedown, and another one, I have watched them take down a master BH's who has good armor (80%+ composite.) If ya can't get up, you can't shoot back...

Early on in the game, there were some skill tapes for additional pets, but since the last 6 or 7 Publishes, they should no longer work, if they ever worked.


If he's pullin 4 or 5 pets, then he's pullin yer leg and just using the server boundary exploit to make it look like the skilltape works.

All the current creatures between 70 and 100 run like sissies because of minimum range, so probably none for me. I don't think the cavern queen would count because she is part of a POI and not really a wild creature per'se.

Its gives the same mod that management gives you, post on your trade forums, I'm sure you can find some of these tapes pretty inexpensively. I don't know what he paid for his, but one was a glove, and I think two were on a shirt. I'll send him an ingame email tonight and see where he got them, maybe I can point ya in the right direction.



[edit] NIMH when did they change that, the last time I physically say him take out his army of durni death was about 2 months ago. Due to the fact that my RL is getting in the way of my gametime lately (damn shame) I haven't gone hunting with him lately. I'll have to /B1tchslap him if he is using exploit to pull one over on me.

I'd do ancient bull rancor, and keep it the same as the wild version, none of the pansy cute house
pets we have now!!
