Have pretty much anything that seems like it would be mildly useful in combat. Have an artied katana (2xVernal stats, 2xVernal wounding, tempered to 136/597/230 with drawdown and runes), changeling cameo, and am currently sitting at level 82.

Was curious what beastmastery skills folks have found that mesh well with warrior combat. I currently have a wyvern (combat oriented) trained like so.

If I have to wackadoru it or whatever the skills reset feed is, that's perfectly fine. The current poison selection was from me messing around. Am I missing a good, vital skill that meshes well with pureblading/warrioring in general?

Thanks in advance.

As far as beast goes, you've got pretty much all the ones that could be handy as a warrior.

Reflection is nice for bashing though, and sleepcloud is useful for ganks, but it's not worth dropping all the others for.

Is it possible to make Reflection or Sleepcloud the trans able to teach the beast skill? Could see having it for it temporarily while ganking, etc. Are there any poison/affs/beast stuff combos that work well together? I can see something like senso spit/legtendon/calcise, or perhaps hypnotic/some PB aff/dulak, etc, etc. And Amnesia cloud, does that do similar to the regular amnesia aff (person loses a command)?

For bashing, I have a separate beast I'm raising up to have all the neat stuff (bodyguard, reflection, armour, battle/aggressive, etc).

You can learn anything with Beastmaster, as far as I know. It just takes a of ton of power to learn one and then use it a lot, since you have to keep choosing what you want to learn, it doesn't remember until you change. (Which the AB doesn't mention and is annoying. sad.gif)

I've always liked spit paralysis, myself.
