i've been using this in ra/ta/ab/pve for abuot a week now.. im reeeeeally starting to like it...

beast 15
exper 13

call of haste
pred bond
brutal strike
poison bite
scavengers strike
feral lunge
heal as one [e]
charm

you can swap what you want, its not meant to say fixed like that, sometimes i stance, blind, knockdown, all depends on what you're doing..

BUT BUT BUT

i want to know how you all feel about pets... i have a dire rat right now, and i saw him use that super rare "plague bite" that i heard about.. pretty cool.. but i think imho, anet should make charm, heal and revive too.. its such a waste to have 2 skills in keeping a pet, and also, they need more HP!!!! they only get 480, and 420 for a dire! i think pets should have a mini control panel, like a hero, and should attack a lil faster, like say 1.8 second attacks. i LOVE this build, you're safe, ranged, and able to fight with zero problems. i paired with another pet guy, and a monk from my guild, and made a crazy pet team, that we farmed the uw/fow with too.. its fun, but would be better if they'd stop making beastmastery so gay! tell me how you all feel

I like my ranger/beastmaster. I've been trying to do a paragon one but I find that Expertise just suites me better than Leadership, maybe it's possible but I like my expertise

might be useful to dump the weakest skill, scavengers strike, for a res/interupt

brutal strike

. my dire pig nearly always hits for 100 damage with that

(when there below 50%)

No you didn't.

Yeah people need to stop spreading that myth. Very much like the whole black widow poison thing.

Mekkakat · Feb 14, 2007, 04:47 AM // 04:47

its been noted like a million times, people seeing it first hand, and i saw it too. now unless something crazy happend where they magically became poisoned, fine, but i didnt have a poison move, and none of my team did either, because i selected the team and moves. the guys was poisoned for around 10 seconds, and happend around a minute into my pet attacking. so idk, maybe it was a fluke, maybe not. its not like a skill came up and was like "PLAGUE BITE" , the guy just suddenly became poisoned... or diseased.. green effect, w/e.

Isileth · Feb 14, 2007, 05:27 AM // 05:27

And the proof of this is?
Until someone shows proof its not going to be believed. Right now anything like this goes up with all the other wild accusations that people seem to make up or get twisted from the truth somehow.

Mekkakat · Feb 14, 2007, 05:35 AM // 05:35

well sorry that i didnt take a screenshot in the middle of a team arena battle during a 7-10 period of conditioned foe. geeze, you dont have to get so mad, i just said i thought it was cool.

Isileth · Feb 14, 2007, 05:41 AM // 05:41

errm im not sure where I got mad, I simply wanted you to stop making claims when there is no proof. Especially when similar claims have been disproven!
The reason these rumours get spread is people read that sort of comment on a forum. Now in a thread designed for the purpose of investigating such a rumour knock yourself out but try not to spread unproven claims around to much

Mekkakat · Feb 14, 2007, 05:47 AM // 05:47

you sound so irratated telling people what to do like you own the site. i can say whatever i want dealing with what i saw. just because theres no footage or ss's of it yet doesnt mean anything. it would be the same way with the beta gwen fire dance. if no one would have filmed that, who would have believed it? i saw it first hand and told my friends/guild, and no one said "prove it, prove it!" they just said "cool, wish i could see it". stop being so pesimistic just cause you don't have physical proof, geeze

Isileth · Feb 14, 2007, 06:01 AM // 06:01

If you wait in LA for 8 hours there is a small chance you get 1k.

Would you want proof of that or just believe it because someone on the forums said it? As for the gwen incident even without footage or a SS I would have. Why? Because of the ammount of people who would be able to say they saw it. Right now there are a few people who have apparantly seen this plague bite. Yes it might exist. But it might not, and right now since there is no proof of it or enough people who would claim they have seen it then it is unlikely many people are going to believe it.

Now I dont think im irratated, just because someone posts against something you have said doesnt instantly make them angry or annoyed etc about it. I just currently dont believe that specific feature is in the game and would like to have that noted in this thread because it has the fact that feature exists stated as fact with no evidence. I do agree you can say whatever you want thats the great thing about the internet. If you want to go on stating this then I cant (and even if I could I wouldnt) stop you. I can however ask that in the interest of not spreading rumours that you refrain from posting it as a fact.

When it comes down to it though, proof does mean a lot.

Mekkakat · Feb 14, 2007, 06:08 AM // 06:08

if its that irratating to you, that i saw a totally random move occur, that really has nothing to do with the post other than that i thought it was "cool", stop posting. you dont HAVE to read my post, and then become annoying by telling me what and and want not to post because YOU dont like it. make your own post about how you've never seen it, dont believe it, whatever. my op's question was about beastial skills, not your contradictiory thoughts on something i saw one time. at least argue on topic

Isileth · Feb 14, 2007, 06:15 AM // 06:15

Honestly this idea im annoyed somehow is rather strange. Im simply allowing a second view on something you stated in your original post. If you dont want someonething talked about, dont mention it in your post.

Also if anyone is getting annoyed I must say it would appear to be you. Making a post about a game feature doesnt really work for getting me irrated or angry in anyway...

Mekkakat · Feb 14, 2007, 06:16 AM // 06:16

ok

anyone have anything to say dealing with the post

Xiaxhou of Trinity · Feb 14, 2007, 06:26 AM // 06:26

after months of clean threads finally there is a........FLAME WARS! Too bad it only consists of two people, flame wars are always fun to watch =]

To the post, Yes I think having two skill slots used up for a pet (comfort+charm or use up an elite for self heal and bring along Heal as One [E] for pet) strongly cripples the beast master. In PvE, you've got a rez, self heal, maybe some evasion since you're a ranger, and you only have 6 slots to fit beast master skills plus utility skills in. I like to run a beast master build for PvE (unless long range degen is needed like Kuunie in Unwaking Waters mish). Lots of fun, wolf is classic and cliche I have a hearty one with my ranger =]

May I point out the fact that you carried POISONOUS bite.

Mekkakat · Feb 14, 2007, 06:54 AM // 06:54

i have two posted builds on guru right now, and you're right, sorry, this is the other build. the one i was using the day i saw it is in another post in this same forum.

Cathode_Reborn · Feb 14, 2007, 06:56 AM // 06:56

What's the point of this thread? The build is nothin special....just a random pick of BM skills. Since you're obviously tryin to spread rumors, just wanna let you know that everyone knows it's not true. No screenshot = it never happened.

Middleschool talk won't help people believe you either

EDIT: I somehow didn't notice he has poisonous bite.....lol >_<

Mekkakat · Feb 14, 2007, 07:01 AM // 07:01

what a flamer. ok kid, w/e. the reason for the post is to see how people are using beast mastery. its not "random skills" seeing as they synergize together, and i dont care about what you say as far as the poison/disease move i saw happen, i saw it, i dont care what you all say, shut up about it and stop being a little kid.
