PVP

So I'm only just 64, about halfway to 65. I am thinking I'll try to pvp at that level. I miss doing it, and I think at that level I will have enough armor and such to make it count. I like the idea of being well equipped and I hate to make it harder on the team by being such a low level that all I do is die over and over because the horde like to beat the snot out of the lowest levelled alli there.

I am also wondering if using my ravager is a good idea. I haven't even used him much because I usually use Patronus. He's pretty good at pvp, I would assume, being a cat. I have only used cats in pvp so meh, dunno. I was also interested in using a raptor. Which reminds me... I have used an owl, a raptor and a windserpent. I like those. Hmmm, you know what, I think I'll head on over to Petopia and see what the pet store has in store for me at this level...

Hmm, so I really like Deathskitter, Warp Hunter, and Daggermaw Blackhide. I like the skin on that spider A LOT. I also love that skin on the raptor. That is a really nice skin. I like the dark skin even though it is a really cartoony looking raptor. I can deal with it though, as In really like the idea that dash is working in the next patch fort them. I am kind of tired of seeing every other hunter with a warp stalker.

I don't really see alot of hunters with spiders, which begs the question; are they just nice very good for anything? Or do they really not have fantastic enough stats for damage or anything? I think they would be good for dps but obviously not tanking. I don't know, I guess I will have to test that out. I also think it would behoove me to go ahead and get a tanking pet as I feel even though Patronus is pretty good at it, it's a good idea to have one just in case. I also know that Patronus needs a little respec as I think I spent too many points in stupid stuff, we gotta see.

The stats on spiders are not bad -- they have the same health, armor, and damage mods as windserpents, for example. But they lack useful skills.

Spiders can only learn Bite -- they don't get a focus dump (like Claw or Gore) to turn excess focus into damage, and they can't learn to Dash.

There are lots of ways to make up for less than optimal stats on a pet -- abilities like Great Stamina, talents like Thick Hide, even careful selection of your own armor so your pet benefits from scaling.

But unfortunately there is no way to make up for a lack of useful skills.

This isn't a problem if you want a pet primarily for looks, but if you are concerned about being the best (or at least making a good showing on the damage meters), then you're probably going to stay away from spiders.
