Killer Instinct: The Beastmaster Compendium

Those are my current sets. I leave the MAB pieces in my sack until i need them and I definitely enjoy how much extra damage you can get out of them. I could spend more time with Oseem or work on an Omen body, but I'm pretty happy with the results.

Looks solid.

The lamest thing about Oseem IIRC:

You either get a pet Mac Aug, or pet matk Aug: not both. I believe you need DM to get both Mac/matk.

Kind of missing the point though, none of that discussion was about an amazing magic burst... it was about what pet works well for good skillchains with Cloudsplitter, because I was trying things out with Farsha. Swooping being a nice light SC opener with MDB-, solid WS damage, and very good light SC - that was the key point, obviously. The additional 10k MB is just a small bonus for the cost of a single ready charge (and it dispels, neat-o).

But yeah, I should remember where I'm posting and only show a cherry picked screenshot with 40k MBs. Apologies for trying to just grab a run of the mill example. And if we want to get picky about stuff that isn't the point, the first 10k MB shot I showed was with trusts and no significant magic buffs/debuffs (except maybe the trust RDM put up Frazzle?). Hey, I'll take that.

I responded to person commenting that 10k MB is something good. None is cherry picking anything bad from your screen shot. I understood intention of your screenshot, so I haven't commented it directly at all.

Fair enough, and my apologies for probably too strong of a response. But yeah, skillchain bird is fun. Swooping itself also does better damage on some stuff (where piercing works well), to supplement the more consequential WS and SC damage.

He's also running into a species penalty. Zhivago=bird, crawlers=amorphs. I'm not sure if he's using a Max pet mab set, but anyways, he said that wasn't the point of his screenshot, but rather the SC potential option.

Crawler is vermin lol

Mistaken.

Mate, i didn't even know moltin plumage could MB XD
So for me it went from 0 dmg to 10k in a single post! lol

Min, you're old enough to know that showing positivity on a forum is a guaranteed way to attract seagulls. They fly in and $#!t all over everything.

You're best bet is to stick with complaining and picking apart what someone else posts like a normal person! Take your good attitude somewhere else bro.

I'm from Poland. We don't walk with fake smile attached to our faces, we actually answer the question "how are you" and we don't get exited with 10k magic bursts.

Fascinating. I'm from Canada. We tend to be kind to people and are happy for others when they are happy based on their own standards because it costs absolutely nothing.

Lol, what? Nothing said was mean or negative at all. Capu posted a SC and Min was impressed with a low damage MB (but maybe he was simply impressed with the fact Molting Plumage can MB (its magical, so not sure why that would be shocking)). Saying "10k mb is nothing" isn't really a diss or mean at all.

In fact, this sarcasm right here can be viewed as negative/passive aggressive, if people wanted to be in their feelings:

You are clearly not even accepting my standards, let alone being happy for me.

So lets just take a small side step.

Molting Plumage as a BLU, doesn't dispel. Is the BST version wind based like Siren? IDK personally, but that would certainly make it interesting. What makes it not interesting is spending a global cooldown on bursting for less than some 2handers do in a single auto attack.

BST pets are closed systems in that they provide a couple of options and you can work with them to have different SC properties and bursts but you can't really change pets frequently. When a pet doesn't have obvious advantages or even less obvious ones is where BST suffers greatly. It has an amazing guide page and is fun to play, but still has a very bad PR reputation. People aren't going out of their way to get BSTs unless it's a known exploit or gimmick that trivializes fights.

Would molting plumage be a much better ability if it dealt significantly increased damage when it dispelled a buff? Yes. How high would that damage have to scale in order for it to be worth waiting to MB on? I really don't know, nor do I know if that answer would change if nyame D was a real option for regular players since I don't know the scaling on stats for most ready moves.

This is just 1 pet. But it's not like this is an exception to the rule, it's very much hard to find a pet that has any use outside of the slug or the leech in an optimized/ideal environment. I would personally like to use BST in content regularly but it's hard to replace one of my regular jobs. Or that's a skill issue on my part or lack of knowledge.

I admit i do not read the pet ready descriptions on bg-wiki.
I honestly thought Moltin was physical.
I mean...it moves wind that hits the enemy.

And then we have Patrice with bloody fluid spread throwing bubbles everywhere like sailor mercury and yet it's physical.

You can't tell me it's not confusing...without wiki

I always thought it was odd that you can't see the descriptions for each pet's special commands in-game like under Pet Commands. /bstpet # just lists the move and charges requires. On SMN you can see all their moves and descriptions in the respective ability menus.

For some it's pretty obvious.
Arthur for example, it clearly states "elemental dmg"

Same for Edwin, Bredo etc.

But then you have Zhivago that says just "wind dmg" on Ready #2
Ok wind is elemental, but ive never connected the dots.
For me that im stupid, should have been "wind elemental dmg",

Patrice mentions "Phys dmg" on ready #1 but, says nothing on Ready #2, it says just "damage".
I see bubbles, to me is water magic. Turns out is not, it's physical.

So because of Vana'bout, I've been using BST for some of these fights.

You can summon Caring Kiyo before entry. Even level capped she is AMAZING.

Having 25 Haste/MDB/Counter/Guard at Level 30/50/60 caps just feels broken.

Currently just cheesing up in Arms with her. I only had to use 1 milkbone the entire fight.

You can use high level pets there? I thought they used to despawn when Level Sync'd in BCNMs. Interesting! Happy to hear they finally fixed that.

I was surprised too.

Another broken thing for level caps:

Stewpots

The HP/Attributes are static regardless of level.

never seen it mentioned so i'm going to post rq
for krt multi hit build

aymur/ridill needs absolute bis with /dnc for quickstep and a pet that can eva down
dex mantle, few null pieces, highest acc gear
aymur/kclub just needs quicksteps or pet eva down with really good gear
aymur/magian oat 2-4 axe can cap acc much easier

using my set and switching offhand no ilvl sword club axe no food
acc 962 on sword
acc 993 on club
acc 1071 on axe

aiming for 1264 acc for krt

1071 + 105(food) + 40 quickstep + 40 eva down = 1256
i'm /nin to get the numbers rn but /dnc gives a acc bonus too so easily meets the 1264

I really like aymur/ridill in dho because I can hit there however in krt the acc needed is much higher so that lead me to the idea of oat 2-4 axe

got my first 500 kills on the trial in about 20 mins using arthur pulling everything in abyssea and 1 shot with ooze

higher acc higher delay should be great for fun even if not the best numbers
i've never had the greatest gear and i'm missing a ton of little things like monberaux trust and omen accesories
been using aymur/dolchi or aymur/skullrender and i'm not happy with my numbers they keep up but I want really good

not sure if anyone has tried aymur/oat2-4 before

Level Capped BCM/UNMs:

Apparently you can Unleash before entering a BCM and it will carry over inside... You only have about 30-40s after getting to the NM.

But it's more than enough to get your defense buff up and spam on it lmao.

Might also be possible to use reward before entry to apply Pet Regen

Sultry Patrice (bestial loyalty)
Enter fight
Run in, fluid spread
Digest
Reward
Ride digest
Win
(Shantotto can kill Patrice so prioritize her)

This is gold hahah
Let's see how long before they fix this

this is the 4th vana'bout, so...

You're saying....you're saying...it works as intended??

Have you tried the lv 30 capped fights in Promys?
How are you proceeding? Are you bothering with lv30 capped gear or what?

I mean even with a nice pet that you wouldn't normally be able to use, it still sounds strange to be able to win that easy without gear, can't even Snarl at level 30 and I seem to recall trusts are not allowed in those BCs

I was pretty skeptical as well. I looked into some LVL30 gear but I didn't really see anything worth getting.

I did the 30 cap DEM fight, basically used level synced gear. I popped a marine stewpot to cap pet acc/macc.

I mainly used the pet and did not engage. When an add spawned I just popped an AOE Ready move. The Ingester only spawned one additional enemy and it died rather quick.

I believe the -PDT on the slime made a huge difference. You can also use a Dawn Mulsum if digest/reward isn't ready.

I might retry it with the Raaz. Slime was an easy win though.

I can confirm this.
Used NQ pet (Decaying Broth) 'cause I couldn't find the HQ one.
Marine Stewpot (wonder if I even needed to use this?).
Called the pet outside with Bestial Loyalty.
Used Familiar (not sure if it stays inside?) and then Unleash, I immediately entered after.
I can confirm my buffs got removed but Food and Unleash stayed.

I had 40+ secs left, engaged pet and Boss got killed with 3 Ready moves. Wanderer that popped got oneshot by my pet's AoE move.
I didn't engage and used my regular level 99 gear.
Didn't even have time to use Dawn Mulsum, fight was over literally in 3 Ready moves.

Makes me wonder if Run Wild would work as well, hmmm...


I did the Promy-Dem one, You Are What You Eat


So yeah... pretty easy to solo as BST.
I guess the same could probably be done with the other objective that requires you to do lv30 BCs with Cloudy Orbs?
Gonna try that next.
