User:Master Saji/Build:R/any Beast Master

This build uses a ranger's pet and turns it into the main source of damage and healing in PvE.

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=Ranger/any BeastMastery=12+1+2 Expertise=12+1][Feral Lunge][Savage Pounce][Call of Protection] [Feral Aggression][Heal as One][Symbiotic Bond][Charm Animal][Resurrection Signet][/build]

Equipment
(See Pet Evolutions)
 * Armor
 * Beastmaster's Insignias
 * Weapon(s)
 * Any Longbow
 * Any pet may do. Dire pets deal more damage but have less health. Hearty pets have more health but deal less damage.

Usage

 * Precast Symbiotic Bond and Call of Protection.
 * Call your target with a longbow and shoot once.
 * As your pet charges, cast Feral Agression and use one of the pet attacks.
 * Do NOT use both pet attacks, as the attacks do not stack.
 * After a couple of hits, follow up with the other pet attack.
 * Recast skills when necessary.
 * Use Heal as One whenever either your pets health or your health gets low.

Counters

 * Your pet tanking more than 3 monsters is dangerous since human monks rarely heal pets. If you run with heroes/henchmen, the pet should be fine as Heroes/Henchmen feel the pet is part of the team :).
 * E-Denial, as energy is critical for keeping your pet and yourself alive and dealing damage.
 * Massive Health Degen. Symbiotic Bond does not halve the degen rate and you or your pet can get low health pretty fast.

Variants

 * Substitute Symbiotic Bond for...
 * Preditory Bond
 * Substitute Resurrection Signet for...
 * Sunspear Rebirth Signet
 * A Hard Res
 * Substitute Savage Pounce for...
 * Poisonous Bite for extra conditional degeneration.
 * Scavenger Strike for extra damage.
