Pets with High Wrestling
Since I can't possibly afford a 120 wrestling scroll, I started looking at pet options that come with high wrestling skill to begin with.
GD's are obviously one option, but they can't be trained. So they are basically worthless.
I had high hopes for dimetrosaurs, but they lose half their skills once they are tamed. Also they come with garbage specials.
Lesser hiryus can, I think, end up with 107-108 wrestling. That's not really high enough to make a difference (and 110 wrestling scrolls are not prohibitively expensive anyway).
So are there any other pet options that end up with 115+ wrestling as a fresh tame?
Or is my best bet just to stick with a cu and use a 110 wrestling scroll?

I have only bought one scroll
Get out there and farm them.
110s are fine on pets. Need 120 for the magic to get full benefit.
Like someone said before all the off topic stuff.
Cold Drakes can have >115 wrestling and > 120 Tactics. They have enough points to put AI and Chivalry on. Best bet for cheap pet. Find a T Hunter and help them with the pet you have and tame some Cold Drakes.
UO Community (all Fel players btw): Piss off nerd, do things exactly like me, and since you don't you need to get gud.
"Oh I just asked a simple question, thanks...."
He also likes attention so that just makes him worse.
Anyway, back to topic, I've been hearing good things about cold drakes, I was actually already planning to check them out. I do have a treasure hunter and dozens of T6 maps.
Do they keep their cold aura once tamed? Is it any good? Does it cost mana? I guess it makes them change targets constantly?
Any other alternative pets with high wrestling? In case I'd like some variety...
By the way, Pawain since you're already here (thanks for all your fantastic pet training posts by the way), is bushido any good on pets? I have lesser hiryu with bushido, he very rarely uses lightning strike, and does crap damage. Keeps using whirlwind on a single target. Even when fully surrounded, it never seems to hit more than 2-3 targets. Just seems like a waste of 500 points but maybe I'm missing something?
Edit: Could you also explain the "need 120 for magic to get full benefit" bit?
Cold drakes do 50% cold damage. Thats why they are called Cold Drakes. They have dragon breath and no other natural ability. Just AI and chiv makes a good one. Cold Wind is not worth 100 points.
Make them lifelong friends.
I already have a chiv cu, and a mystic cu. They are okay. For some reason EoO on pets only seems to make a minor difference. The damage doesn't even seem to noticeably change, while it should actually be a massive difference since pets don't have any other damage "modifier" 's. Haven't yet seen any boss where consecrate makes a difference either.
Ok, not directly but over time the fail rates and time increases, increase the damage the spells do. Or with Bushido the defense ability. You can go check your pets on the drone. But you have to have the skill at 120 and copy there to compare on a pet.
I have no mage pets. So I haven't tested magery. But a 120 is expensive so that would be nice to have 110 all that matters. But you want the 120 Eval. And other support skill to magics.
maybe pets work different to players though, I’ve heard reports that pets cast word of death at very low spellweaving (less than the required amount of 83)
Higher magery will increase healing of from in vas mani.
K only has 106 magery.
I do like my higher heals on my toon tho, Helps me, other players, and pet. One has 110 magery and the heals do make a difference.
