Curse

I really like my pet, and it's a cutsey little rainbow phoenix (it's level 10 atm, but I will level it up by letting it devour my enemies).

One problem is that as a monk, I don't have expertise! Which means I'm not as cool as a ranger when traveling with my pet. I am in dire need of very strong monk pet builds. Post your most amazing monk pet builds here, so I can get inspiration for my new build.

Edit: Read my second post before posting bad builds.

I used to have a R/Mo with something like this(it should work with the reverse):

[smite][ferocious strike][balthazar's aura][balthazar's spirit][Symbiotic Bond][charm animal][comfort animal] then some random pet attack, d shot or maybe it was strength of honor... I don't remember...something.... might have been [essence bond] instead of BS...

Of course this was back when smite was an attack and was affected by expertise and BA was a lot stronger then. It was before the pet attack interface too, so I used a long bow to send him and the henchies into the fight, sniped and D-shotted stuff as I needed, swapped into a "high" energy set(a staff with +20% enchant) when I needed to use BA. When they put the AoE AI nerf into effect and stuff ran from BA, I put the attack that gimps moving foes or KDs casting foes in there. Nowdays you would likely put spear of light or a signet where smite is.

You won't get into a group and may cause a few rage quits if you take it in RA now, but it was fun with the henchmen a long time ago... Got me through prophecies. I remember the only decent Raven Staff I got was a smiting req one, and I hgad a big Moa Bird I used this with

[distracting shot][bane signet][healing hands][mending][life bond][balthazar's spirit][comfort animal][charm animal]

Your pet is a tank.

You bond your tank.

You do big dommage with bane signet.

You interrupt stuff with d-shot.

You win.

hmm without expertise its gonna be rather hard, perhaps use smite prayers along with one or 2 pet attacks?

Age · Aug 26, 2008, 08:56 PM // 20:56

Mani is banned or he could give his old smite build with pet or he still may have it I got an Eagle for my Monk.

Marverick · Aug 26, 2008, 10:18 PM // 22:18

Maybe try Air of Enchantment smite?

[Strength of Honor][Great Dwarf Weapon][Reversal of Fortune][Reversal of Damage][Air of Enchantment][Zealot's Fire][Comfort Animal][Charm Animal]

Maybe this is good enough to be added to the guide?

No I was being serious. The best build here will get to see it played in an AT with a top 100 guild and with their name as my petname (or whatever you want me to make it) when I decide to play this game again. I'd prefer it to be either a healing or prot bar, though smiting bars are also accepted. It just has to incorporate a pet, and not totally suck.

Bad posts will be deleted. I expect high quality builds from now on, and will be as Nazi as moko in this thread's moderation.

JDRyder · Aug 27, 2008, 12:14 PM // 12:14

well if u just want to have a pet "as it seems" just run your everyday woh bar with a pet
[build=OwIT04nCRSjoBUgQLazYTrmg2AA]

If you really want a "pet monk bar" that can still heal maybe.
[build=OwIU0wnCRrOryZiARLuZ201kwIA]
or
[build=OwIT8UIaZS3YmQgQLazYTrm4BEA]
or
[build=OwIU00HCRrS6GNgCE1DbGba1EbEA]

hope this gives ideas

Will that team also use other pets?

Runner-ish builds:
[build=OwIU023BPrOak8qAx2gbWZbGaDA]
Tho I'm not happy with no anti hex
[build=OwIU023BPrOak8qAZ6bLXZbGaDA]
better but only 1 KD every 20 seconds, and it's not guaranted
[[disrupting lunge] or [[savage pounce] could replace pounce

Note that attributes maybe changed

Prot version, not a runner (obviously):
[build=OwIU0unCTrODkN9dd6fbwNbGaDA]
energy heavy.
[[Poisonous bite] instead of [[feral lunge] for a guaranted condition
Variant: [build=OwIT8U4a1Zgspvr1kbDuZzQbAA]

Probably because Divine knows it's a silly concept? I don't know.

Erm...

[word of healing][patient spirit][guardian][dismiss condition][holy veil][distracting shot][comfort animal][charm animal]

@Moko: I lol'd at your edit.

wuts teh point of havin a pet if its not gonna do anything?

either [scavenger strike][comfort animal][charm animal]
with a 9/10 spec for e-management (5/6en every ~10s) and ~10dps

or [run as one][charm animal]
for a near perma-ims that doesnt require an alive pet to use

i mean..u -could- bring [distracting shot] cuz its hax
but that prolly means 0-3spec in beast mastery
and then its jus a matter of a pet for pure cosmetics (in otherwords useless)
