tao pets increase in damage as you do

[Rand]

Use your hallu spell.

Put holy kit on go somewhere undead.

Solo lvling is always **** for a taos, but it isn't that bad on here. If you don't like it, make friends and go group hunting.

They are fine as they are

im a warrior AND DISAGREE tao pets need a buff

 

[ventus]

Buff them pets. Skel is bloody useless, make tao worth playing or they will become a novelty character like on Chronicles.

Might wanna check out the new set. Good holy on this

But holy doesn't affect pets lol.

Just re rolled to a Tao from wizz just dinged 34, skeleton is **** all it serves to do really is take aggro away from me same as it's always done , however I know shinsu is coming and he will be able to tank more , and then I have my deva for bosses and PK.

I do think it would be a good idea to let taos have 2 skeles , they don't affect pvp as they die easy . But would make solo lvling abit easier.

But as Rand said , Hallu is criminally underused , I've hunted with Taos who don't even have it on a key , the same as some wizzies don't use TU and warriors Lionroar, honestly people you need to learn to play your class , I've seen warriors die in lures they can LR... then blame the server for not being able to output mobs

Have you seen the materials you need for them? takes years to farm..

I would advocate for Tao Pet scaling, every other skill scales and you can make it a small increment which allows Taos to be able to solo level at a rate that isn't a snails pace.

Could we also look at SFB, it is immensely weak, on a Red Poisoned Mob it does between 25-35 damage for me, which combined with it's high mana cost and reagent use, makes it unusable in my opinion.

lvl 43+ taos with the addition of plague later i'm already super scared, ye just give them sfb increase it'll be perfectly fine for them to be the god tier class.

Party with people until 40 and then go true solo but you can't really complain about lvling rate when you can party with any class lvl 33+ and exp really really well.

Okay so we don't buff SFB, Plague isn't in the game yet bit I'll concede that point.

My main point is that pets are pretty terribad currently, and they could do with scaling with SC - which in turn will allow Taos to gear towards SC and still be able to level efficiently and be better as support characters.

90% of people who are commenting and not even tao's. Tao's have to level up in full DC gear, never done this on any other server i've played,so i'm sure something is a miss here....

Why would you even do that on this server, when Spirit Sword Converts SC to DC, just get a purity set when you are level 33 and you will smash mobs.

 

[SadClown]

Cuz i'm not 33 yet and with red poison i can crit psc mobs for about 70 with a j mace, with fulkl sc and red poison, my SFB hits like a wet noodle.

Am i right in thinking, spirit sword converts any DC on my rings, bracers ect to SC?

 

[WelshSteel]

beta i enjoyed full spirit set early 20's in PT using a combination of sfb/attack and pets.

This thread far too long now, tao as a whole at lvl 43+ is number 1 class and it's not that difficult to get their if you put some real thought into it.

 

[BLaPP]

And are you seriously moaning about Tao pets and balance when your not even the level at which stuff starts getting interesting ? Lol

By the time you get to that level you no longer summon your Skeleton. This is relevant from the 19-35 range.

 

[WildGirl]

I agree SummonSkeleton is worthless but the best way to lvl a tao on this server would be through VeteranBuff. Meaning lvl up a wiz then reroll tao with 50% exp all the time. Happy hunting!

 

[holo]

Maybe because classes should be remotely balanced at all levels, not just when they get very high level?

If a class becomes really good once they get a new skill, fine, make other aspects of the class scale such that they gain power at low levels easily but it plateaus before 43. Like dual skele, which becomes utterly worthless at 38.

 

[BLaPP]

Personally for me 33 is not a hard target to achieve, but it would be good if skele could be buffed until your sort of level 33+ then it becomes abit weaker , dont know if this is achievable or not.

YOu should have mentioned in your original post two things:

1) You are moaning about tao pets being dire, when you've only used one of them - hence my surprise when you mentioned pre-33. Assumnig you are 35 or maybe even 38 now? How you finding the other 2/3 pets? Still dire?

2) You did not know how Spirit Sword works. You even go on to moan about us commenting when we aren't taos.....but you know, we knew about Spirit Sword. Gotta admit I just assumed you did.

On that point however,

@JAMIE: You really do have to find a way of explaining the changes you have made in game. The amount of taos I've seen who don't know about SS. The amount people that didn't know para is broken on hit.

I'm all for adding to community by asking how something works, but the nature tends to be to laugh at people that don't know sometimes.

Perhaps something like an @lvl "You've reached SpiritSword level (cant recall atm). Spirit sword does xyz, so ensure you use it!" to chat?
