EZ Server

Anyone know of any Paladin useable pet summoning items on EZ server? just curious if it is even possible for Paladins to get one for rebuffing, I don't really care if its a non-combat pet.

Gnoll Slayer (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=10545) is PAL usable, but it only has 2 charges I guess.

hardly worth doing the quest for 2 charges... but interesting nonetheless. Does this pet buff you?

yes. any pet you summon besides enc tank pet buffs you after hailing. even the cleric hammer.

Should be noted that you must have CG/FG in order to get buffed by a pet.

Any particular reason the CG guild pet isnt all/all useable?

What about the Paladin AA Stalion?

Heh, couldn't tell ya..if it acts as a pet, then probably :)

nope, he's a mount, not a pet.

Caster Guild pet isn't All/All because it is only intended to be used by the pet classes.  Making it all would give an unfair boost to melee at that stage of the game.

Because the caster guild pet is a viable pet with tanking and dps ability .. up to about LDON and not much beyond if it all.

That is kind of funny since your new characters that are doing potimea / ldon would be using a 10-12.5khp warrior and a 9k mana cleric.
With epic 1.5's boxing warrior + cleric and grouped with friends we struggled through LDON.

That pet I always felt was meant for those that did the guildhall quest and for that stage of the game its a great addition and should be all/all.

/shrug opinion of one dorf

For Rangers/Druids

(druids dont much matter since they get caster guild pet)


Scimitar of the Mistwalker ( got one off vox tonight)

summons a wolf pet, proc in battle, light blue to me at 70, pet can buff you.

I still recoment the $10 pet, but if you are really cheap, you can get one of these for buffs. T1 trash would kill this thing in seconds with aoe's but up to qvic you could use it for buffs.

Mistwalker pet has like 20 hp unbuffed... any hit or riposte from just about anything over level 40 will kill it.  If you are CG flagged you can give it a Firesword for about 10k hps, and if you can buff it with cleric/etc, it can survive for a while.  It's not going to tank qvic or anything, but it won't die as soon as anything breathes on it.

I like it a lot on my CG+FG flagged ranger  ;D

FWIW the CG pet (ring) is the level 70 mage pet and has about 27k hp with Fireswords, it can tank ok at least thru Ldon... I even killed some qvic trash with it (but it dropped pretty hard when 2-3 mobs attacked..)

Good point... Using it for a buff in custom content assumes many things.

1. that you are a ranger, using ranged to attack. The pet would stay with you and not attack (hopefully) unless you've buffed it's hp as described.

2. that you can get the thing to spawn and stay alive to the end of a fight. It's a proc, so you must be using melee to get it. Might take a few tries.

I just picked one of these up for my ragner this weekend. I tested it out on a Frost Giant. In the time it took to kill him the pet spawned 4 times and died 3. It would stay alive for less than a second.

Using this on anything before T1 is going to be cake since you can trigger it off trash from behind the mob and it will be fine.

T1 it will die as soon as the mob AEs. You can probably set up a hotkey to ask for buffs as soon as it spawns and then go back to shooting. Its better than nothing. to bad my warrior cant use it :\

could you duel someone to spawn it?

Yes, I'm 99% sure it will proc in duel just like any other proc goes off.

Update...

Red dragon tooth is ALL/ALL and has 1 charge of a skelly pet. I killed naggy last night and got 3 of them. This is the same item used in CG quest. It should work to self buff if you have completed the Casters Guild Quest. The pet is very weak and would die to any aoe or ripostes pretty quick, but may survive some content with Fireswords.

I'm guessing there are a ton of these floating around the server to be had for 5-10kpp.

Yeah actually, not a bad route for melee that otherwise would never have the ability.

Kinda like potions  :D

A real pet is useful for DT-fodder though, if say you are camping augs in Fearplane.  ;D

And this is why we have rangers.
