Warder EquipmentFollow

I'm a 69 (soon 2b 70 :D) bst on mith marr (stolen by saryn -.-) I'm looking forward to the permanent warder (suspend, log out, log in, unsuspend)

Can you give your warder player made armor? Would he be able to use magnetic armor and velium gemmed weapons?

If so, how bout no drop equipment? can I do a raid and give my pet say......a dragonkiller? O.o

Master Shedder Mangekat of Mithaniel Marr.

Yes you can.

A bst pet equipped with dragonkiller x2 (pets dual wield) and a full set of Anguish Plate would be an unbeatable killing machine.

GL with this and let us know how your guildmates reacts to these ideas.

Funniest thing I have read all day!

Before you log, get a shroud, pet/armor/buffs suspended, no AA points wasted.

I'll second this.

and now for a reality tip since you picked up the check.=Pthat'd be persistant minion you're referring to there, not suspend minion.

suspend minion 1 suspends warder/pet but wipes buffs/weaps/armor and does not maintain warder/pet across zonelines.

suspend minion 2 suspends warder/pet with buffs/weaps/armor but like SM 1, does not maintain warder/pet across zonelines.

and of course, neither maintain warder/pet through logging out.then you're not trying hard enough.

pet pulling. suspend warder/pet, cast green warder/pet to mobs, and pull. necros and shadowknights have added benefit of FD'ing while pet pulling. not sure what mages and shammies do, but we beastlords make do or die or zone. i've successfully solo'd ldons using pet pulling.

back up warder/pet in case one dies. handy on raids where warders--if allowed mind you--have the life span of me soloing Quarm.

persistant minion, as well as the above covers:

convenience of not returning to PoK to shroud to keep a warder/pet.

convenience of not having to burn mana to cast a warder/pet if logging unshrouded.

so, there's not only a use, but several very good uses for beastlords to buy SM 1/2 and PM.with PM, before rezz, cast warder/pet and suspend. you'll have a warder/pet w/o the inconvience of waiting for mana to regen yet again--hey, you're only gonna lose that mana again, might as well use it.agreed.no, b/c it's typically no drop and that's a total waste--better to let it rot./arches eyebrow in surprise


that's not the advice i'd expect from someone with as many AA as you have. rusty weaps and mage armor? why not mage weaps--fists, blades, etc--and, while soloing, throwing gear that'll rot/dupe lore/can't use on your warder/pet? my warder had quite a few nurga drops on it b/c of duplicate lore messages; might as well put the stuff to use.i got suspend 1 and 2 before i got discipline or affinity; its worked very well for me. though, i will say i've enjoyed affinity if anything for the mgbs and group HoTs and paragon taking on warder. also, i really should pick up pet discipline but stubbornly refuse...ok, so i'm a glutton for spamming the back button.=)i can agree somewhat--it depends upon what AA he has. a 70 beast without avoidance/BF/WA/etc seriously needs to reconsider their AA choices if SM 1/2 and PM are taking the lead.

none-the-less, i've kept the same warder with ghetto persitant minion--shrouding--for over a month. granted, i didn't raid during that time, but i was logging about 2 hours a day soloing/grouping.

handy is all i have to say. breaking the DSP side entrance of GE w/o adds is fun stuff for one example. even though solo'ing ldons isn't everyone's cup of tea, it's an interesting experience i think all beasts should try. mana saving is always a good thing to me, whether before a rezz or logging on the next day. raiding and having a spare--or even just grouping and especially solo'ing is handy.

one could suggest with the amount of mana regen, pots, mind buffs, GH hottub etc, SM 1/2 and PM don't have the lustre they used to, and one would be correct. but that doesn't mean the AA is totally lacking a sheen.

yup. not in dispute by me. =)if you're soloing--i see below you don't like to so i'm aware of your situation--and the same lore item (note, lore, not no drop)drops twice, you might as well give it to your warder/pet b/c you can't pick it up. tribute one and have some ok or not so ok gear on a warder/pet.

put it to you this way, had 2 SHFD drop in Charasis one night. i was the only one in zone so no one to give them to. i gave them to my warder as i had one on me already. i enjoyed some seriously good procs off my warder for about a week...until i tried to solo something that, um, i shouldn't tried to solo. =)

in a group situtation, if no one wants a lore, droppable item--or can't pick it up due to dupe message--and your pet/warder can use it, why not just feed to warder/pet. certainly doesn't hurt, and if it doesn't help, no biggie.fair enough. i'm primarily solo due to hours of play but i manage the occaisonal raid/guildie group. but, even if i didn't solo a lot, i'd say it'd be useful for those times of just dinking about. however, odds are there's better AA to buy at that point--or if a beast has so many AA the choice between SM 1/2 and PM and innate CHA, is pretty much forgone. =)true enough. think play style does come into it and what the demand for the AA might be/is.

Good Hunting Dar Khura,
