I have been bouncing between TSpy and HC for the past few months and came to appreciate the the dedication and transparency of TSpy's team compared to here. I do not get involved with the server politics where I strictly compare products for what best serves my entertainment. But the positive weekly changes small or big has me playing on TSpy more. Which brings me to ask...where is and what is HC's GM team doing? An issue a year? HC indeed has the population. Is that the reason why regarding the team's hibernation? Honest questions. If I am wrong, I suggest checking out TSpy's discord and compare. The transparency and feedback is there. Cheers.

I use FP to slot glad recharge and enable PM. I never need it with nature. Pets are perma buffed to 75% s/l resist with mid defences. Heres' a sample why...

I use it all the time for soloing story arc on elites and extra mob aggro when needed. It makes elites turn into bosses with the damage bump. So yes it is great. Tell me how many don't have in on their tray then if not so great? Anyways, back to the question. Does this buff influence alignment?

I decided to try both KB aoes w/ KD slotted that goes with temp inv. Wow! Mobs are mostly on their ass for the pet aoe. 200% recharge rate helps. Repel from FF helps also keeps them back and together. Even positioning to bump the loners into the rest of the mob before KDing them. The changes are more fun now.

The buff is to good to give up for mischief. I hope one day soon the alignment buff system gets a revamp for us non conformists 😛 Villain maps do need activity 🙂 Just saying.

Oh I missed the entanglement while skimming. I also missed knowing about the yellow steadfast def all along. TY! Yup I just swamped it. AS for chasing def...I did at the start realizing 1 minute buff recharges was a priority and focused on set recharge bonuses while able to get 75% S/L resist and stat balance. I don't mind eating purples to bump my M/R def from around 25% when needed.

No entanglement? I tried without it to get patron pbaoe in build. Ya its rough without it.

Here's a sample of build without the 54 bosses. Where I do turn them on once in awhile for a challenge.

Midsreborn is messed up for me. I can not avoid corrosive enzyme when setting up the build. I know there must be a trick, where I rarely used the program. Anyways here’s some pics.

I tried it. Problem is that you need to drag them all into a mob on passive to have them in front of you for cone heals and entanglement protection. More work than beasts/nature regardless of macros. Nature imo is meant for melee pets based on this.

Like I said. Beasts are misunderstood. Spamming ravens w/ 105 avg. damage with high recharge is key. Expecting the pets to do all the work is the wrong mindset. Macro your two attacks with pet focus to nearest target (preferably boss or lieutenant for hawk) with cone positioning and along with nature's three buffs...this build is a pure beast! Entanglement with mag+2 proc keeps mobs in a nice package with a little two stepping to get optimal arc.. Basically fight as a unit, where your pets are always in front of you for supremacy and entanglement that also acts as a defense for them. I went through alot of tweaks to optimize my build. 4/8 54's I can comfortably mow down now with the odd rebuff in fight depending on more than one mobs getting aggro'd. There are other keys to the beast/nature build also. ie. Having S/L resist close to capped at 75% in case you are in need another round of 1 minute buffs while solo farming. There is a reason why the 20% damage pack mentality is brief....to encourage this playstyle. Mine is almost always at 10 once brawl breaks out. Again, my only complaint is the pets spam their buffs out of combat. But hey if MM min/max junkies want to keep beast/nature as a little secret, for got it.

For beasts. Pet buffs only in combat. Other than that, its a misunderstood primary imo. 1 minute buff w/ 200% recharge cycles with nature and raven spam are key to this build. Much like demons, one has to get involved with their pets with aggressive play. I have all three that you mention. Thug aoe is underwhelming compared to popular belief and as for demons...demons cone aoes are great with Time but Beast/Nature you are in control as by position regarding cone aoes. Is why I give beast/nature the advantage. I am not a proc builder due to being a big recharge and balance fan.

Thanx for reply. I guess I will have to live with strafing while trying to position for cone aoes as a MM with flight def's on. Cheers.

Heyas. I am looking for a kb script to deal with annoying backward movement during flying without giving up free camera. Specifically down and backwards working together. TY.

Sample of what my evolving build is. As you can see, the cc can be a pain for 8x4's. Why I mow through 4x4's with ease instead for solo. Anyways, again I stress...why no love for the beast/nature? Tons of fun and never boring.
