I'm supposed to answer these questions, so I can look all cool 'n' stuff.

[trixbro]

thanks as always to both of you    :-D


see dont you feel better now khauruk?

General rule of thumb that I use on aa's.

Upgrade myself 1st, Kitty 2nd.  I'm selfish like that. (there are exception for utility aa's such as pet snare level 2)

[trixbro]

I would think that would depend on the particular aa's at times. I couldnt see getting veterans wrath maxed before, say, pet flurry.....

Then why ask the original question? Personally I'm the same I put pet a distant 2nd / 3rd to personal dps and utility.

With the horde of pets I have out swinging at mobs from Yowl, fabled fists and AotW it seems to me that pet dps AA is more important than is implied above, but I agree that you should max your personal dps first.

The orginal question was posted because I was unsure of which would provide a bigger benefit. The aa expenditures for both those lines will take several weeks to accrue for me due to play time. I agree with improving urself first as a general rule as well, but as sharrien stated we have multiple "pets" that the pet aa's benefit. Thus there is a level of uncertainty and reason for the question. Which is also implied when I stated that I thought it would depend on the aa's in question.    

I just read this after posting and it seems very defensive. That was not intentional. My rationale is simply that at times when reading these boards for advice on a particular topic, slight derails of threads leads to uncertainty. I just figure in the future, if someone had this same question they could see a simple answer for it........ I know, there are no simple answers in EQ.  ;)

Pet crits are almost useless....def. go w/ Vet. Wrath.

I tend to go self first as a general rule also mainly because if the pet is dead I can still be swinging away but if I die the pet dies also. I don't have the fabled pet weapon though as I have just returned to EQ.

There are always exceptions also.

That's the deal.. if you die, the pet doesn't stick around & keep killing.  The opposite, though... :)

[trixbro]

OK, thanks Khaur. Thats what I needed to know.

pet crits are more useful if your using the fabled pet claws from PoFire... it really helps your personal DPS... if u dont have those claws then id say hell no. Warder dps sucks :(

Im a pet flurry over pet crit kinda ogre...but I guess its personal preference.
