I read that too, but the test I did here on p99 showed both +hp rings worked on the mob in EC.

How did you know the rings had both worked?

Yes. I tested this giving a level 1 rat in EC a couple of 5/55 rings. The max HP on the mob won't update until you break charm, but they definitely do work.

A level 1 rat has like 15 hp. If only 1 of the rings gave him extra hp, he would have been at ~20% hp. But he was at only ~10%, indicating that he had gained both rings' worth of max hp.

You also could have tested by how many hp a cleric sees his heal landing for after, or how many hp it takes to kill the mob, etc.

Perfect, I will attempt this with w -10 mr 75 hp rings to see if it is able to use both rings. If this works with a pair of shoulders that would make -30 MR which is 10 lower then our personal Debuff.

Go do the tashania quest! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Eh, well. I guess you've only got one more level for tashanian. But shame on you for not doing that quest! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I already have Tanshania, this is more about min-maxing pet for personal benefits when duo'ing with an enchanter/cleric combo. If I am able to keep my personal charmed pet longer with less breaks I find the amount of money I am spending to be justified by less annoying moments while xping. This has been used in the solo challenge, but I am more interested in a day to day use.

Well if money is no issue, then give your pet a tola robe instead of a mage mask, a steel hilted flint dagger mainhand and a tome of the eternal offhand, a bunch of banded just incase AC boosts your pets mitigation, AND the -mr rings and shoulders. Then your pet will proc for hundreds a few times per minute and have crazy aggro, be almost 100% hasted with your buffs, take little damage so that your wife can nuke to help increase kill speed, and you'll still be getting about double the -MR that an enchanter can do alone.

I understand enchantering pretty well, I was just assuming that you are a typicalish leveling enchanter who would be better off just grinding xp than spending time and money to make the remaining time you have somewhat better... especially if you're in a location where your pet is likely only going to be used for 1 session before someone else kills it off.

edit - and stream it! It'd be fun to see what a level 45ish mob can do as a pet with all those bells and whistles.

Well this is more of a Day to Day item list for normal chanters willing to spend like 700pp on a stack of items that he could use over a week period before going back to EC and grabbing more. So the rings and shoulder were what I was looking for and I appreciate the info.

halason · #19 05-05-2014, 04:44 PM

Tome of the eternal is another great item! with that plus the 2 rings and shoulder we are now at -40 + -40 debuff so -80 MR isn't to shabby for like 200 - 300PP. This could be invaluable for POH raiding as well, give an Abhorrent these items + malo + tash and you have a very dependable pet.

Not sure how readily available the tomes are for purchase, but you shouldn't have (much) trouble finding several of the shoulders and rings.

Too bad you aren't on red! I had a pet that I used in HS north for WEEKS before a server reset killed him off. It'd be the perfect place for a duo to really, really pimp out a pet from the back of a zone and use it to grind for many sessions [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
