Cool pets in SF

[Deago]

<p>Seeing as our selection is limited anyway.. I will say I came across some neat pets on the two outdoor zones so far in SF.</p><p>1. paineel guards are charmable  (hopefully they dont fix this as they are king for that area)</p><p>2. the scholars on the eye of arad lv 90 are locks and nuke often for 6k+</p><p>3. the druid type mobs in the same groups with the scholars above are nice..heal well and nuke high</p><p>4. The void mobs on the eye of arad island are juggernauts if your wanting slash/hack pets. lv 90</p><p>Im still searching as its part of the coercer fun.  Anybody else find some neat pets? </p><p>All mine have been with a master charm.</p><p>And I would like to toss this in..my Possess Essence (M1) has been really tougher lately even for a lv up..i noticed at 81 it was much tougher then 80..well not much but still..im wondering if they got a boost?  Just curious.</p>

<p>Wow these forums seem dead.  I guess everybody is in-game.  I have a ton of questions about this expansion.  I can see that the new armor that gives pet buffs buffs works on possessed essence.  Does this armor stack? </p><p>Can I use 3 different items that have Power Flux III on them? </p><p>Does this armor work on charmed pets?</p><p>Is potency the new be-all end-all of stats we are looking for on equipment? </p><p>How about Crit bonus?</p><p>Do ability buffs or crit buffs effect our Destructive Mind and Hostage?</p>

<p>Most enchanters are rerolling / quitting, so don't expect much enthusiasm here.</p>

<p>I hear a lot of groups / guilds are looking for Illy's though.</p>

<p>As far as charmable pets in SF I have yet to find very many mage/priest mobs. The few that I have found will not cast spells or attack at ranged. Which really sucks.</p><p>That coupled with half of the solo named mobs being immune to control effects I shelved my Coercer to play my Necromancer instead.</p>

Back in RoK before the first round of charm nerfs there were warlock charmies that would do 20k dps. So finding one now 2 expansions later that only does 6k isn't very attractive.

<p>Terrorfang Arsonist in stonebrunt highlands, nukes for a ton</p>

The first mobs are you enter The Hole, the contructs, are dirge mobs.
