Ah well

But they have more INT now after tame than before. Isn't that what was proposed? More INT vs STR?

First thing i noticed so far
Its first beetle with discordance skill possible to choose as Magical Ability-also its first beetle you cant add
Ai
Mortal
Rune corruption
Magic-it has native mistic and im ok with this- maybe we could disable over write magic ability in this case? Just let it be only mistic caster pet?
Now few things about stats
I know there was request for 180 dexternity on this beetle and im fine with 180 as starting stat same as 100-150basic str on this pet but starting mana and Intelligence at 100-107?

Fire/blue beetle
100 hp 150str
Around 50 starting dex/stamina
500mana and 500 int.

So basic stats at 100% meele type of beetle all together (hp stam mana) 700 points+-
I understeand 180 stamina for sure will affect other stats but with basic 100str and so far 100 mana (once again this pet supposed to be native mistic caster) looks funny. Can we at least made stats more balanced?
Honestly something like
100hp 150str
180stam 180dex
350-400 mana / 250?int

At least this stats are more accurate for caster pets to make them not only use for crafter.
I have 0 mining across my all 4 accounts but i actually active use both blue and fire beetles for fight

I was reffered to after tame here

Yeah, they now have slightly more INT and slightly less STR. That was one of the changes asked for since it's a mystic pet.

I've been testing mine on various mobs around the lands. As far as a combat pet it feels great. I'll test the unravel portion later.

Previous version after taming
100str
180 dex
100 int

My vision after taming
150str
180dex
More int/mana since they are at all magic casters

So what i Suggested as after tame stats become basicly pre tamed stats and end with
75str.
Same dex
305mana

ALSO
why there is 180stamina on them?
When even tritons with 200+dex have max stamina cap at 150?
Dexternity define pet speed
Stamina on pets is actually caped at max avalible 150?

 

[Miral]

I don't think it needs anything extra just because it's not a mount, the fact it can cast is unique enough.

the stats for the beetle should be comparable to the other utility beetles - the essence scarab should have no advantages or disadvantages than the other beetles, plus the fact it's a 1-slot means that by the time its 5-slot, it'll be maxed out anyway.

would it be possible to code the beetle to do chaos damage instead of 100% energy?

Chaos damage its random damage type each time so

 

[BooshBooshBoosh]

I think they're performing really well. I spent several hours fighting various mobs and my build (Myst/RC/AI with full 110s) felt similar to a giant beetle (poison/RC/AI full 110s). They feel like they're in a great spot when you actually test them for a few hours.

yeah, i thought that would be cool and unique, and tie in to the myst spells that do chaos damage

This is going to be adjusted prior to release to also be capped at 150.

Chaos damage is an interesting idea.

 

[FireFly]

Only thing that i consider as issue if chaos damage can be apply on pet - since its totally random elemental every "swing "it can turn pet little weaker

I would like the fire beetles to have an inventory, even if it is small, like 450 stones.

 

[Meireffer]

...
i would like beetles to have more weight limit,
example: if you train it STR to 700 and 5 slots it will be able to weight 2500...

You cannot train a pet above 150 stat...

And no. Giving smelting beetle a backpack is stupid idea. Ingots are waaaay lighter than ore so you could carry crazy amounts of ingots on every mining run. No, just no.

Sorry for negative reply.

 

[Dan]

This beetle was actually just made an ethereal mount and can now be mounted on production per their latest patch.

So if it got added mounted is now an option.

I like the idea of soulforge beetle.

May be all beetles can have a small inventory rune beetles too

i would like giant beetles to have more weight limit,
example: if you train it STR to 700 (MAX Trainable STR) and 5 slots it will be able to weight for example 2500

 

[FireFly]

If you get pet that work as soulforge there is no need to carry 2500stones with you everywhere. And beetles are 1600 now = plenty of room

 

[Ziru]

If all the beetles had a small inventory, the blue giant beetle would lose its grace, so it seems to me that we could make the giant beetle increase its carrying capacity if it is trained and its STR goes up

450 stones of weight on smelter beetle means few thousands of ingots inside, stupid idea. My miner won't complain tho. Will have to recall to bank once or twice a day only.
