Does it add damage to breath attacks??


Haven't tried it, but I assume it doesn't. The AB file says it increases damage of battle beasts.

EDIT:
Since we're sharing what we know about beastmastery, if you're intending on getting a heavy mana/ego using horse, it is vital you get regeneration of that type. Without it, you will find your horse running out of mana/ego really quickly.

Thoros is a beast abuser. ohmy.gif

Poor pony, getting punched in the face.


All those who follow Thoros learn to embrace pain and death!! whip.gif
Rika2008-10-18 08:22:24
And those embrace it who don't die in five seconds, right? Awesome beastmaster you are.

Anybody know how good balancing is, and how good it is against protecting against being dismounted?
Rika2008-10-18 08:25:11
I've got a horse with balancing (and most other skills. Yes, I am an addict), but not sure how to test that one. Ideas?

Get someone to prone you while you are mounted. If the skill works as intended, sometimes you won't fall off your mount but you'll be protected. Also as a passive bonus (from what the AB says) it gives summon resistance.

BEASTMASTERY - BALANCING

While your beast is trained to balance, it will be difficult to move, thus making you difficult to move (and thus hard to knock you off while mounted).

How come this puts me in the mind of Thoros in a skimpy leather outfit with high leather knee boots and a whip.

Studs everywhere.

Actually, this is the beastmastery thread.

Balancing isn't all that great...have it on Nom, and it doesn't work very often.

Thoros does 750 damage witha noobiepunch! Nerf!!11!1!11 laugh.gif

Question time:

1) Can you crit on beasts?

2) As Thoros showed he did some 600 dmg with a newbie punch. Still 133 with armour. I'm curious now how much a -real- damage attack would do. Say mage stuff or warrior weapon. Additionally how fast is beast regeneration? In summary you could describe this as "how fast will a beast trained to resist via armour, regeneration etc die if attacked by one person?"
Kharaen2008-10-18 15:47:09
Nom with his 13k health died in seconds during the revolt. Real attacks probably hurt a whole bunch. He had armour too, so meh.
Rika2008-10-18 19:43:54
Can we please raise the effect of balancing? Right now, it's fairly useless. I got proned about 20 times and it still hadn't worked.

Im too afraid to use real damage attacks due to the fact that beasts are critable and my crit rate is over 50% :/
Rika2008-10-18 20:39:32
A moonburst from me did about 1000 damage without armour. With armour, did less than 200.

We can use pets to determine how many hitpoints mobs have, and how effective all bashing attacks are. suspicious.gif
