Ideal Influencing Beast

edited September 2014 in Common Grounds
I had this conversation with @Nayl the first day I came back, but I can't remember half of what was suggested, so I might as well have this conversation here for others that are curious as well.

What's the best set of training for a influencing beast.  Here is what I have so far:

    Ah , I see you edited your answer.  Makes sense. 

    @Ssaliss Any particular reason you didn't add health or mana regen/heal? with the extra remaining trains?
  • No real reason beyond the fact that it didn't exactly need it. My mana regen is high enough to cope with the drains from performance and charismatic aura (do both drain mana? It's been a while), so there's no need for mana heal, and thus no mana regen. I don't really get hit a whole lot while I'm influencing either, so no need for health heal/regen. I mean, you could toss them in, but odds are you want a different beast for bashing that has more body/mind trains as well as battle, aggressive, bodyguard etc.

  • No reason for them, but also no loss in having them right?  (Is there anything else that uses spirit trains that might be fun to put in? )
  • Correct me if I am wrong but don't the regen skills regenerate the beast's h/m/e? So you'd only need regen for whatever the beast uses to to cast heal ego with. Which I think is beast ego.

    Regenerate heals the beast, heal heals the beastmaster using the animals own balance schedule.

    I just don't like seeing 240/590 :)
  • Yeah, there's no harm in having them, I guess. I just didn't bother because they'd be pointless (for me, at least).

  • Goats. War goats. Influence denizens, then trample them to death later.

    How about... Chameleon?
    I know you mentioned Spirit Trains, but I enjoy not having my beast being visible in general, not counting when people see it do stuff.

    BEASTMASTERY - CHAMELEON

    Syntax: BEAST ORDER CHAMELEON [ON/OFF]
    Beast Mana: 500
    By training your beast to blend in with the surroundings like a
    chameleon, you may order the beast to disappear from cursory sight at
    will.

    For Training:
      Syntax: BEAST TRAIN CHAMELEON
      Type:   Mind
      Trains: 70

    EDIT: For Shineys.
    Is also the Shintar.

    Strictly speaking for the 'perfect min/max' influencing beast you might need trotting as well. To move faster between mobs
