Taliskway [Testing]

Well, I got bored out of my mind running AP caller and Discordway. I noticed no one has made a set of builds utilizing the pet buffs. So here is what I've come up with.

Please note, these are still in testing stages. No rant rant QQ please.
If you would like to test these PLEASE PM me back feedback.

Alright, so this is a 2man, 6 hero build. Have not combined them to make a 3 hero build so if you wish to do that, good luck

Optional-Companionship can be nice, for a self heal if you are very low.
Optional-Call of Protection, or Poisonous Bite
Comfort Animal
Rebirth

Broad Head Arrow Ranger
Broad Head Arrow makes short work of hard caster bosses, and of monks in a group. This however, can be taken out and replaced with another elite (Incendiary Arrows is good, but attributes will need to be changed) if a player brings Technobabble, or you put Stunning Strike on the /Paragons.
Attributes

Player 2
A spirit spammer is really ideal here. Lots of damage, and, they can provide a small wall if you need to kite and escape. With the buff, this really is a superb option

Shadowsong OR Bloodsong (If it is high melee, take Shadowsong)
Vampirism
Painful Bond
Summon Spirits
Ebon Battle Standard of Honor (Very important, Player one can take it if they are melee, must be dropped so pets, minions, AND spirits will do more damage)
"Finish Him!"
Flesh of My Flesh

Spear Ranger
This is used to do good damage, and utilize the pet. There will be 2 of these in the party. Minor changes MAY be made for areas.

Attributes
Ranger/Paragon

40/40 Death magic set

Well, there are the builds. Again, these are in testing. Please give them a try before QQing me to death.

well first, calling it *insertnicknamehere*way is kinda unprofessional, by aside that lets look at the builds.
i feel if you going to use pets, use them according to the build role.
the healer and protter could use scavenger's instead of feral for the energy gain.
the actualy damage dealers could use melandru's pet attack(cant remember full name) but it add a bit of needed aoe damage with scavenger's for energy to fuel pve skills.
as for the other slots, yes a spirit spammer works wonders in any group, a minion master can hardly go wrong either. so with that we could use a support role like curses/smiting(buff them pets with SoH) or weaponspells/aoe interupts.

My guess is the pets themselves won't make much of a difference to the team damage. If your gonna have the offensive spirit rit and most likely some kind of minion master/ bomber thrown in that's gonna be the bulk of your damage.

Now if you want to run some kind of hero spearmaster/ beast master rangers that can spam out high dps then multiple of those would work for that purpose. Healers probably shouldn't have pets just because of the horrible effect high aoe damage would cause.

Second player can't be any/rit because of no pet. I still have a feeling that even if you had like strength of honor on all your pets and run with rampage as one spear chuckers. The dps may not be as spectacular as you think.

looks like it lacks A LOT of dmg output if u ask me . two monk/rangers?

Minion Wall says hi!
