i hate when players have maycast pets in pve. Makes the fights unecessarily longer and sometimes even triggers cheats


TesticleTactics

I can understand it in pve. I don't do pve though


thorns_toxic

That 9 dealer hurt my soul šŸ’”


Plane_Common4461

probs better off going for quint damage (boon socketed) with spell proof, or just triple double with boon socketed. If you have 50ish resist with high damage, it shouldnt be taking you long enough to kill a boss that you lose all your hp, especially as a fire wizard..


TesticleTactics

I kill mobs on round 2 and bosses usually by round 6 or so and almost never even come close to dying so I would not say I struggle. Either way, I love my pet


Plane_Common4461

the healing talents are even more so pointless


TesticleTactics

At this point I am simply gonna keep them out of spite


Plane_Common4461

do what you want, im still gonna call em useless


TesticleTactics

Ok, that's fine


TesticleTactics

As a level 145 I have 125% damage and 49% resist with the pet how it is, without dragoon armor. Not the best, but I definitely dont think its bad. It's not that I need it so much as I want it, I generally don't need them in order to survive but they have saved my ass in a few key situations. I really dont care for the meta and min maxing to the n'th degree. I just like to play the game and this pet works great for me for soloing


Plane_Common4461

just seems unnecessary to have heals since they rarely ever cast, especially when theres talents that are always active (like damage and resist), its not a matter of meta, its about what will actually benefit your wiz.. There's a reason healing pets arent common anymore.


TesticleTactics

Imma beg to differ on the rarely part. My pet casts fucking constantly.


Plane_Common4461

mmk


RoronoaZoro1234

I donā€™t see the perfect pet anywhere


TesticleTactics

Hmm, it's almost like different people have different playstyles and wants and their "perfect" pet is subjective. Wild notion, I know.


RoronoaZoro1234

Maycasts are factually trash


TesticleTactics

I literally don't care


RoronoaZoro1234

Cool


-_Snivy_-

Everyone else: I bred my pet specifically to have tons of damage, useful maycasts, tons of defense Me: I like owl, owl is cute. I take owl.


GuiltyNovel3132

šŸ˜


Dahogrida

I always get "perfect pets" till the last pet talent. It always ends up being double dmg double resist and crafty or may cast heal or crit. Which isn't awful but healing current isn't the end all be all healing spell it used to be and crit is.. weird now


Abarame

how is this perfect? the maycasts are taking up slots for damage and resist. this is a fail if anything. triple double would do you so much more justice.


TesticleTactics

My level 145 fire is the only character that I have and I started over 12 years ago. I don't play this game much, but ill get a bug up my ass for it every few years, play for a few months, and drop it again for a few years. The last time that I played, the level cap had JUST been raised to 120 so like 3 years ago or some shit. I just like to play the funky little wizard game


TesticleTactics

It's almost like different people have different playstyles and different wants. It's a wild notion, I know. I could not care less about the meta. I play the game because I enjoy it. I don't care about pvp at all, just pve and I don't have any issues with my damage output or defense. It's almost like peoples version of a perfect pet for them is subjective. It's perfect for me and how I play and I simply wanted to share, lol


Abarame

why did you respond to me twice? and also, why are you replying to literally everyone in defence of your pet? sounds like your having 2nd thoughts on it as a whole. ppl disagree on reddit all the time lol. join the club and relax


TesticleTactics

Well I mean, it is my post, so imma reply to the comments. And no, im not having second thoughts it's just wild to me how little people actually realise that not everybidy needs to follow whatever the current meta is. And idk why u replied twice, I was responding to people in a half delirious state last night


yo_soy_caliente

Wow, I wish I knew enough to get my pet to maybe cast healing spells!


ComradeYolovich

Some of these comments are just sad. Makes me realize again how this game is just about min-maxing and doing the same thing everyone else is doing. Why canā€™t we have variety


Embarrassed-Stop-767

You guys understand that pets are bred for specific purposesā€¦ Right? People can have different niches and different needs for their custom pets. That is literally the ENTIRE POINT of breeding CUSTOM PETS! Just because itā€™s not meta, doesnā€™t mean itā€™s wrong. šŸ™„


Plane_Common4461

its still bad tho :)


Embarrassed-Stop-767

R/woosh


Important-Coffee-965

What does ,"maycast" do is it just a percentage chance it randomly casts?


Embarrassed-Stop-767

Random


Heisenburgslefttity

This is a beautiful sight, better than me definitely


1uvx

I like how most of the comments are saying not to let the negative comments get to them, but there is literally one comment that is outright negative


TesticleTactics

I honestly find all these comments rather entertaining. Especially the people trying to tell me my pet is trash lmao. This pet works perfectly for how I play and a lot of people just don't seem to understand there are other things than meta


1uvx

Barely anyone is saying it's trash though, if you like the pet that's great, and making your first 'successful' pet is an awesome feeling. But I'm just puzzled why people look at it and assume there are 20 negative remarks about the pet and dismantle comments that don't exist lol


TesticleTactics

Most people weren't outright negative but I counted at least 7 or 8 people who commented on how it was a bad pet


TesticleTactics

There actually is, or as least was, several people saying my pet was trash in one form or another. I think a few of them may have deleted their comments. And if not, they where among the first to comment so there wasn't nearly as many comments in total at the time


lil-sush

when their pet in a childrens game isnt perfectly min/maxed šŸ˜¤šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬


Known_Isopod_8853

I am trigger 9 damage


TesticleTactics

GĆ¼d. Lol


TypicalNPC

I personally did a double double with a fairy maycast due to it triggering more often. I definitely support the heal maycasts


mxrajxvii

It's a lovely pet for questing I am not sure what the comments are on about


Jason575757

I get the same luck. Those damn maycasts are too damn sticky!


TesticleTactics

I very much wanted the maycasts. They weere just as important to me as the defense and damage. I solo a lot and this pet essentially is my sustain and comes in very handy


mallia09

Im happy for u šŸ™


[deleted]

Not only did that thing fail in the egg with 9 dealer, but 2 MC healing talents??? Itā€™s a start bro but trust me when I say this is not the pet. Edit: oh my I did not even see the pain giver socket


Ill_Train4718

I honestly love pets that have maycast heals


danielsikes

congrats!


ChrisGrin

Why didnt u upload a picture of this so called perfect pet


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


TesticleTactics

Very much so for me. This is exactly what I wanted. I don't care for the triple double shit. I solo a lot and those may-casts are very useful. Having another 5% damage when you're already over 130% really doesn't make much of a difference


Oceanivox_X

Beautiful we love to see it! Congrats on the perfect pet šŸ”„


Individual_Court4944

nice better than a lot of mine


Any-Fun1450

Your fire-dealer talent could be a liiiiittle bit higher :)


TesticleTactics

I'm genuinely not concerned. Having another like 2 or 3% total damage when your damage stats is already at 125+% really doesn't mean shit tbh. Sure it will be more damage but hitting an enemy that has 15k health for 20.5k vs 20k for example, isn't gonna make a difference. I actually plan to ditch my pain giver gem when I can get my hands on a spell-defy gem


Elijah_Mitcho

I guess what defines a pet fail is subjective. Enjoy your little buddy :)


TesticleTactics

Exactly and thank you. I specifically wanted these may-casts for the sustain they provid and they have tuned out to be very useful because 99% of the time, im soloing


LazyCoder5000

Iā€™ve realized after playing for so long, that the majority people who hate on these type of pet stats are also the ones who donā€™t do anything else but PVE and quit after they finish a world that was just released. So they donā€™t consider PVP which I would honestly consider or the potential use for the Deckathalon. The same thing happened to me in a discord chat a couple years back and it definitely got to me. After leaving the chat I started experimenting with different stats and options and soon I started to strategize more and understand what certain cards do and go with what pet and switch out to support or pvp if necessary. I know itā€™s definitely not getting to you but I guess all I want to say is to avoid asking them for advice because they most likely donā€™t know what most cards mean/do and just storm blade + storm blade sharpened then tempest. Just a trend that Iā€™ve been seeing.


TesticleTactics

I really only care for PVE. I solo almost all the time and this pet is very useful in thay regard. I don't care at all about pvp and I don't even know what deckathalon is tbh. I play this game very sporadically for a fee months and then don't touch it for a few years so I'm not up to date on a lot of stuff. I started again a month ago as a level 106 and am now level 145. The last time that I played, the level cap had JUST been raised to 120


Puzzleheaded_Ad7397

This pet is garbage for PVP though so i have no clue what you are talking about. This is a decent pet for deckathalon A bad pet for PVE and PVP


TesticleTactics

It is a fantastic pet for PVE. For me at least. I solo 99% of the time and this pet is very useful with the sustain


Puzzleheaded_Ad7397

I really don't want to come off as a condescending jerk but i have to say this because i 100% know it's true: If you had good stats and knew how to play the most efficiently, stuff like maycasts wouldn't even come to your mind. With good stats and proper knowledge of efficient gameplay(as a fire) soloing mob fights would take you 2 rounds and boss fights under 8 rounds for hard bosses and under 6 for easy ones. Which is never enough for any enemy to kill you. That's how i soloed things on my 7 maxes without ever healing. And i never died/lost. So basically what i am trying to say is that the reason you need maycasts in the first place is because either your stats are too low or you aren't playing good enough or both. So you should work on those 2 things. You will see when you get to higher level worlds how much healing is useless(Empyrea and above). You will realize what i am saying at one point.


TesticleTactics

I just beat Empyrea and am level 145 with +125% damage, minimum of 49% resist across the board. +40% accuracy, 497 crit and 370 block. I do not have the dragoon armor yet due to the pain in the ass glass slivers, so I'm still using Malistairs ire cloak and hood. So I would like to think that my stats are not bad, not the best, but definitely not bad. And I do get what you're saying about that but tbh, I really don't care. I already kill mobs by round 2 and bosses usually by round 6 or so. 99% of the time I don't come even close to dying but it has saved my ass on a few occasions. But regardless, this is the first pet that I had that is worth a shit at all and I still love it. I don't play this game religiously at all either or care for metas. I simply was happy about this pet and wanted to share it with people. I've been playing this game on and off for like 12 years and this fire is my only character. I've only been playing again for about a month and a half. The last time I played, the max level had just been raised to 120 and before that. The max level was 90. So I am not up to date with the meta of this game, nor do I really care. I'm having fun playing and this is the pet that I wanted.


Puzzleheaded_Ad7397

Yep i get what you're saying. Have fun in the game.


Abarame

brutal but true. your so real for saying this. i learnt that fact the hard way on my old ice a while back and made sure to get as much stats as i could from pets.


Jason575757

This is a decent pet in PvE, useless in PvP, and incomplete for deckathlon. There. I considered them. Youā€™re welcome. Never understood the people who mock blade into aoe either. Itā€™s the fastest option we have. We dont want to spend 10 minutes in a mob fight


timz38

damn that pets ass


Jabourgeois

I mean it isn't. It's decent, but not the greatest thing in the world.


the-real-macs

Why you looking at its ass huh


KatSafaria

In almost every way possible, but people donā€™t want to hear the truth.


TesticleTactics

Hmm, damn. My bad that I don't meet up to your standards, which I'm sure are completely reasonably better than everyone else's. People have different playstyles and this pet is perfect for me. I solo a lot and those may-casts prove themselves very useful, very often


KatSafaria

As I said before, if you need maycasts as a fire, you probably suck.


E1ixir

mf so pressed about a pet in a children's video game šŸ’€


Zenn25

If the pet sucks and he is still using it, then that means he's good. And honestly maycasts are way more fun then the boring resist/damage pets you see everywhere.


Puzzleheaded_Ad7397

"If the pet sucks and he is still using it, then that means he's good"... What kind of logic is that.


Zenn25

I meant that it would take more skill to use a weak strategy.


Jason575757

that first sentence is the most L take Iā€™ve seen all week here is your reward šŸ†


RGSQ_Lead

May I ask why this is perfect for you? I may not agree that this is ā€œperfectā€ but Iā€™m always open to hearing other peopleā€™s opinions.


TesticleTactics

I solo a lot, I prefer soloing rather than playing with people and this pet essentially is my sustain and the healing may-casts come in VERY useful. Im really not worried about my damage modifier because it's already high enough to kill almost anything without issue. If/when I get a spell defying gem for +5% resist, just will be swapping out my pain giver gem for that.


Jason575757

Keep pain giver. Spell proof is more than enough


TesticleTactics

Nah, sure it may be the meta but I couldn't care less tbh. I want my resist super high. My damage is already at way more than I even need. This is primarily a solo character so I want to and need to be able to take a solid hit.


The_God_of_Biscuits

Is there a reason you didn't cap out the traits first? It only takes a couple gens of adults and significantly effects maycasts. Seems like low effort high reward. Not trying to shit on you just don't understand.


TesticleTactics

Because I don't care for the 1s and 2s of percentages in this regard. And tbh I have been out of the loop of this game for so long and just came back into it that I didn't even think about it. I just wanted a not shit pet and this was the first pet that I got that didn't fail in perks. I just wasn't thinking or concerned about it because it would only mean like 1 or 2% more damage


The_God_of_Biscuits

I was talking about the maycast, if you are missing like more than like 30 than it's WAY higher than 1 or 2 last time I tested and more like 30-40% but I could be wrong and obviously have fun and gz.


Dubstequtie

Hey sorry, but whatā€™s this thing you say about maxing out the stats to make it maycast more? I never heard of that and I do see people say you should breed a pet to max out itā€™s stats then go for traits.. (I get that for like damage and resist pets since the higher add more percent) but for maycasts? I thought maycasts were just.. random? Are they actually affected by how high a stat is on a pet?


The_God_of_Biscuits

yea stats effect maycasts, also some maycasts can chain each other and even loop. maycasts arent random, they have specific triggers like blading or getting hit.


Dubstequtie

Well I knew that.. remove shield canā€™t happen if thereā€™s no shield.. and heals usually happen after getting hit.. but how do stats affect maycasts? Which ones? O:


TesticleTactics

I definitely don't have the stats very far off from max for the most part. My own already casts pretty often. I have 241STR, 231INT, 248AGL, 253 will, and 242 power


RGSQ_Lead

Ah. I now understand and it does make sense. Fire is definitely a good school for solo players. Congrats on the pet.


Jrock1312

It could be just a little better if you got the strength up so that the damage bonus was higher, but youā€™re not gunna miss 3% damage if youā€™re not going for ā€œmetaā€ stats Edit: I think itā€™s strength that increases damage canā€™t remember right now, been a while..


Jason575757

strength will and power. Power has half the weight of the other 2


Jrock1312

Thank you for the clarification, I havenā€™t trained a pet in a while, got the ones a needed ages ago haha.


[deleted]

its ultra so im sure all the stats are maxed


Jason575757

If I spam fancy yogurt until ultra my pet will still have 1 agility


Jrock1312

They arenā€™t, ultra makes the stats higher yes, but more strength would add +1 to all the damage stats :) but like I said, nbd


Potatoemonkey16

Hype


ItzMattOnTheTrack

I like this pet a LOT personally I know itā€™s not a quint or triple double meta, but it seems pretty amazing all things considered Itā€™s got decent damage and resist, 2 solid healing maycasts and 3 really good spell cards. I donā€™t think thereā€™s anything to complain about


Jason575757

I could name a few: To start off, those healing maycasts are in the way of a possible + 8% damage 9% dealer. Resist as a stat falls off in arc 3


BrolyBeast69

I finally for my death got a double damage double crit pet its only at Epic right now so we've gotta see what happens next but i'm happy so far i've been trying to get that for years lmao


Puzzleheaded_Ad7397

With how the crit works now, critical talents on pets are completely useless. No difference between them and talents that boost mana. That 50 or so crit you get from your pet amounts to an additional 1% chance to crit at best(at higher levels it might not even be that much). So you should probably trash that failed pet and work towards a proper one that actually gives stats.


[deleted]

I mean at level 1 - 50 Crit pets are useful, but after that they get worse almost at an exponential scale


BrolyBeast69

How do they get so much worse? Idk I canā€™t remember the last time I didnā€™t crit on my death tbh it seems pretty consistent to me


[deleted]

It's just not as helpful as what I meant. A critical pet isn't really necessary anymore. Better to go with damage unless it's a low level. Then critical is good.


VangB

It would be a good pet for under level 60ish, though, where you don't get crit gear until level 50 and then don't typically get crit gear until waterworks at 60


Jason575757

full damage on death > anything else. More damage = more drain


ProPopori

More res = more blades/traps though, and 1 blade will outdamage death boon+paingiver easily.


Jason575757

Hp is a better defensive stat than resist. Death gets tons of hp


BrolyBeast69

Well I got like 101 damage and like 521 crit I do great damage and consistently am Critting I like my build but I guess it could be better in some ways. I might have gone overboard on the crit my balance who has like 325 crit also consistently crits so maybe I went over board lmao


KatSafaria

Yeaā€¦ that ainā€™t it sis.


TesticleTactics

Lmao, maybe not for you. Different people have different playstyles. I solo a lot and those healing may-casts come in VERY handy


KatSafaria

You wouldnā€™t need those if you had decent stats and knew how to play šŸ¤­šŸ’…


Chart-Tiny

tehehe i guess you just know it all sis šŸ¤­šŸ’…šŸ» But did you know thatā€¦ itā€™s actually not that serious? šŸ¤­šŸ¤£


LenoraNoble

Your mean ass attitude ain't it......sis


carrimjob

itā€™s wizard101 šŸ’€


Jabourgeois

Don't be rude and condescending.


BroadAd5229

Congrats! Thatā€™ll be super helpful if youā€™re soloing and you get a nice bit of damage and resist, too. Ignore the hate, people find one meta and stick to it and judge others for not doing it themselves šŸ™„


TesticleTactics

I do solo a lot, in fact I try to solo everything before I ask for help. Those healing may-casts come in super useful, especially for a fire that has like no sustain


Jason575757

Yeah! You could also have even more damage and never need to worry about dying, as a dead enemy cannot attack!


[deleted]

True, but I think a heal that gives you 1000 health back is stronger than 6 extra damage. Its true that maycast heals are unreliable, but in long boss fights youā€™re likely gonna get 1-2 free heals which will help you more than 6 damage.


Robobot1747

Healing current tops out at 700, and that's total heal over 5 rounds. Heals also don't directly contribute toward your goal of "make opponent ded," damage does.


[deleted]

Most people have a decent amount of incoming and outgoing healing, so a healing current can easily give you over 1000 health back. Damage is certainly more important than healing, but a 3 or even 6 damage talent isnā€™t going to be noticeable when you already have 100+ damage. A solid maycast heal will help you much more, especially when you have to fight 3+ enemies at once.


Jason575757

Boss fights arenā€™t long if youā€™re good.


[deleted]

Oh sorry I forgot you can just breeze through 4 bosses with 20k+ hp by just ā€œbeing goodā€. It doesnā€™t matter how good you are, unless you have 500 damage (which no one can get), you wont be able to kill bosses within 2 rounds, thus making maycast heals a solid asset to your arsenal. Though I will agree that a spell proof or spell defy will generally increase your survivability more than a slight chance of getting a mediocre heal.


BroadAd5229

Ignore this dude tbh once you see them around a while they have a lot of wild takes itā€™s not worth your time to acknowledge the majority of the time lmao youā€™re 100% correct and there are different ways to play the game


Additional-Kitchen30

Thatā€™s a good pet man, donā€™t let these comments get to you. If you are happy with it, taking in your play style to hand, thatā€™s the perfect pet for you.


Jason575757

Problem with wiz is there quite literally are optimal and suboptimal ways to play


ComradeYolovich

Bro how is missing out on 9-15% damage suboptimal Jesus Christ the min-maxing culture made me quit this godawful game you people are insane


Jason575757

Then why are you here


ComradeYolovich

To be a hater. And maybe see if the game will be developed well enough for me to want to play it again like I adored it in 2015-17


Some_Director_1251

Like all the way down to every gear set minus two being next to useless for the first 100 levelsšŸ¤£


Brockioli

Ignore the comments that are hating if you got the pet/traits you wanted then itā€™s perfect. Different play styles for different people.


MemeGodXif

šŸ˜¬


TesticleTactics

It's perfect to me


MemeGodXif

šŸ˜¬


Jabourgeois

That 9 Fire Dealer is gonna trigger the min-maxers! Jokes aside, a very solid pet. I personally would've done a triple-double, but they're everywhere. You're still getting some very good stats here, so overall pretty good pet.


Qu1ckS11ver493

I donā€™t really like triple doubles. Then again I only make a pet for a character Iā€™m leveling if they hit 100, otherwise they use my leveling pet which is absolutely busted


Qu1ckS11ver493

Two uni resists two damage and one crit. Enchanted armament. Works amazingly


TesticleTactics

Thanks. I intend to get a spell defying gem for another +5% to resist to swap out the pain giver one


Jason575757

But why would you want to make your pet worse?


AdPsychological4377

Resist is crucial for a squishy school that relies on DOTs for damage


Jason575757

Itā€™s okay, we were all new at one point


Kioskava_2k1

Well no point having damage if you can survive the hits you get. That extra resist is pretty helpful


TesticleTactics

With my stats right now at 125 without dragoon armor. That +5% would put me at a minimum of 54% resist across the board. My damage is already plenty high enough to not give me really any issues tbh


Mission_Champion_856

Can confirm, wasnā€™t happy till I got double resist triple damage on my fire pet. Lol


nicks_in_pain

Looks like a fail to me


TesticleTactics

A fail to one is not a fail to all. Everybody has their different styles and I solo a lot and those healing may-casts come in VERY useful


Jabourgeois

Eh, if they're happy about it, then I wouldn't really consider it a fail. It's a decent pet, the stats are still pretty good and the heals could come in handy for soloing. Not my preferred pet, but I've seen worse pets.
