Tanking Pet Help {Poll included}

Unread post by Tratzul »

[I just hope the poll works...]

I just got my Arygos [PvE] Troll Hunter (female) to level 10; Tratzul (accidentally deleted the old one... <.<')

And I'm stumped on my first pet to get on her.

EDIT: I'll make my decision when the poll is done with (with the one that's the highest number)... or I suddenly start to love one of the lesser options for the 3 pets.... ^.^'

EDIT 2 [After poll closed]: I have a turtle on my main (level 74 hunter) ... so... I'll pick a boar, since I've never gave it much chance before. :3
Choice: Boar

I vote Crabs. I got a red one and called it Ghostcrawler. Much rejoicing was had.

I also exist on DeviantArt.

Out of those three choices I'd say Turtles are best at their jobs. They're absolutely amazing to solo level with.

However, on a more personal note, I love Boars and think they just have so much personality.

So my vote's tied. x) Turtle for the best performance, Boar for awesome companion.

Yeah out of the three, turtles are one of the best, Shell shield + Tstomp is a nice combo. But if you're not going to do 'serious' tanking then a boar is fine, as I manage just well with a worm on Yasindra, just by doing Misdirect + Volley, so a boar would work just fine for you too at higher levels.

Now I've got an itch to go tame a boar.

I voted turtle for the same reason as the others. Practically, it's just great. That being said, I'm not personally keen on them. I love crocs, bears, and scorpids (at low levels).

Out of the choices given, definately gotta be Crabs...But my tanking pet is, and always will be my Sewer Beast on my main. My reason for choosing crabs is that they're just awesome, and so unexpected! You hardly ever see them these days AND! There cute...cuter than what we've been given to choose from anyway.

Although, like Ryai, I've got an itch to tame a crab (Pun is oh so intended!). Would have to tame on that dwarf of mine though.

Out of the three, I love boars. But for leveling, I'd say croc or bear, for the multi-mob damage.

I love boars, but out of those, turtle is probably 'best.' That said, I love bears, warpies and SCORPIDS <3

Of your list of tanks, I like the boar the best. I also like bears, scorpids, and crabs.
