Familiar..and you ^^

[seq]

the title explains it all, when do you find familiar useful? ^^
myself,
1) at Faffy camp charming a VT spider (still having problems charming them with CHR+39 x.x).
2) Attohwa chasm, charming a Cave Antlion to farm H.Q. antlion jaws (possibly Tiamta? i'm yet to do him :D)
3) BCNM20 BCNM30, but i never do them now.
4) cop 2.3 solo :D

i think it's effect on jug pets is the same as Beast Affinity's effect, am i right?

You didn't leave us much to "discuss", as you covered all the bases.

ummm... ditto?

Come to think of it, I once used Familiar for exp'ing. I was level 25/26/27ish, and in Korroloka tunnel. I managed to charm a DC slime, and Familiar'ed it. By using Reward every time it was up, I managed to keep my pet alive for the full half hour. It was trivial taking on the spiders and giant bats, and it was the first time I got Chain 2s and 3s as a BST.

well, there is that flying mob in Einherjar..i'm assuming (Hoping actually...) that is is charmable <.<

also, is Beast affinity3 +AF2 gloves + Familiar worth using on a funguar jug? always hoped funguar was uncaped ; ;

not 100% sure but arent all mobs there {Impossible to gauge}? which would mean they cant be charmed?

Edit: 5) Soloing gaudy harness with IT slime ftw

[seq]

in BCNM20, BCNM30 and KSNM30 mobs are {Impossible to gauge} but charmable ^^

Oh yeah.....{burn}

in BCNM20, BCNM30 and KSNM30 mobs are {Impossible to gauge} but charmable ^^

Hmmmm... anyone know what message you get if you use Gauge on those BCNM mobs?

If you went into Einherjar and kept trying to charm the mob, but failed, you still couldn't be sure if the mob was uncharmable or not. If Gauge actually returned a useful message against charmable "NM"s...

[seq]

i never gauged them but if the mob is not charmable you'll always get "It's impossible to NAME to charm MOB" :3
anyone doing Einherjar can try gauging? ^^
if you got anything other than the above, try loading up CHR and fire charm and ready familiar xD

I tryed out familiar yesterday. I'm lvl 15 and I'm getting used to BST. I grabbed an EM Dahlmel In the canyon, Farmiliared and kept it alive with Betas. we creared through about 8 , mabye 10 Ts before I had to fight DCs... It made things so much easyer, I found that I ould easyly get a chain 1 if I fought with my pet.

What I learned is even as a taru, I can be a better BST as a tank.

[seq]

just killed Evisceration NM using our lol2H :D
setup was BST/nin BST/nin BST/rdm RDM, used pugils to clear the pop are then charmed and 2H'ed Antares (Tough Scorpion).
the fight went smooth, out scorps were at 80%-60% HP after the NM's defeated ^^

[seq]

isn't me, but i find it awesome.
7) BST Solo Pirate Chart!!.

there has got to be more uses for our 2H, think think xD

btw Avi, charmed even match monsters usually last 4-5~ minutes (Unless it's a worm, alot less like 1-2~minutes) you could have done that without resorting to the 2H ^^.

[little ninja]

I call my 2hr the ohhh shiii!!! button. I only seem to use it when i am fighting an NM monster or HNM and i mischarm. I will usually tame the mischarmed mob, Call a jug pet and 2hr it. This gets me far enough away to cast shadows and get a potion in me.

[avi]

Oh... well I was able to last the whole 30 mins that way with no problems... I went an extra 10 mins, but Got pissed off after a couple of uncharms.
