This is amazing, but I spent my 3 extra point (via shattered realm) for a dog… It is not so useful against celestial (it died in a short time), but in some cases it is not so bad. With this you can kill everyone, I died some time only because I had not so many potions (I did not notice that)…
Crate is a pain when you have only birds, birds stay near you, if you spent 3 points in a soulhound cannot come near you (until is dead) and you have more time to recharge your life…
I did it, but with soulhound you can use a birds as defensive (it useful for restoring health). I think it is better, moreover soulhound has a lot of benefit with this dagger. Probably it could die in a short time, but it is really strong. Ghosts are really good, but when you do not have any time to evoke them, it is really a pain…
Sorry for the late reply, but yeah, essentially Ghosts and Birds. You can find the entire path to leveling up along with a general pet guide here: The Carnival - A Guide to Pets
I originally had Hound, but later removed it as I became more familiar with how the build worked. Definitely agree that it helps with buying you some extra time. Another one you can put points in is the blightfiend as it is a bit tankier than the Hound.
Thanks for the advice guys, I ended up throwing some more points into my blightfiend while i was gearing up. Giving him a bit more health made a big difference (along with the Murder Birb!)
I tried more than one time to kill crate and I won only 1 time… I think the problem is the stun resistance, some time, with this build, I cannot move and I died. Is it possible to create a pet cabalist with shattered realms set? this armor is really a tank. I tried one but I have some problem with pet bonuses, damage is not so high.
I’ve been scrolling through the comments, but I find it a bit confusing.
I’ve been away for a few months, I remember you saying this was your strongest pet build.
Does it still stand?
Have you got a better build now?
