Beast Mastery: 12
Illusion Magic: 16 (12 + mask + superior)
Fast Casting: 4 (3 + minor)

Sword of Enchanting

Call of Protection/Otyugh's Cry/Revive Animal/Comfort Animal
Call of Haste
Charm Animal
Res Sig


Tigers Fury lasts for the full 10 seconds, so it can be up all the time. IW lasts for 36 seconds with the enchanting sword. Now that Tigers Fury no longer disables Pet Attacks, they can be used any time you need them to up your damage output. Make sure call of haste is also on.

You need to be careful with your energy with this build, tigers fury every ten seconds is a big drain.

I'm still not sure what works best for the last skill. Call of protection and Otyugh's cry give some good damage reduction to keep the pet alive in the first place, but without revive or comfort, theres no way to bring him back once dead.

Any suggestions/critiques?

EDIT: Just want to add that this is for PvP and assumes you have enough compentent monks for whatever size team you're playing on.

there's no way to make you go faster or keep you alive, and since stances are out, i'd take the last skill as illusion of haste or illusion of weakness. Oh, or ethereal burden to snare enemis/give mana.

I knew I forgot something. Imagined Burden it is. Or at least make sure I'm on a team with other snares...

I use Maiming stirke in my IW/Beastmaster build. Works well.

Not sure I like the "if it hits a moving foe" part of maiming strike, but I'll look into it, thanks.

I've run something like this before but with a r/me with 12 illusion, 14 bm, and 9 expertise.
