Any advice on a Pet capable of killing Paragon Balrons ?
I have seen Dexers capable of solo killing Paragon Balrons, sure, it takes them some time, but they can do it.
As a Tamer, I have been trying to find a pet (and training) that would be able to kill a Paragon Balron, on its own, but so, far, was not able to come up with one...
As any other Tamer out there been able to find a Pet and a training that can take down on its own a Paragon Balron ?
Thanks for the advice !!

but i also cast spells on the the paragon with a Demon Slayer SDI spellbook
And this pet actually started killing them when it first got to a 4 slot pet.
before I started putting any power scrolls on it.
the only one I really have a problem with my CU
(without help from another tamer)
is the succubus
(And it tends to spawn the same day as the
Balron, Daemon, lava elemental, and fire steeds
are everywhere)
I use a frost Dragon and I can do Paragon Succubus.
Sure, I need a quiet surrounding with no side spawn, since I need to heavily heal it, but, I can do the Paragon Succubus. It takes forever, though....
I see dexers taking down Paragon Succubus in probably, 1/6th the time it takes me....
But the Paragon Balrons ?
No way. They do way more damage to my pet that I can heal.... and this, mind you, with Gift or Renewal active on the pet.... it is flat out impossible for me to do Paragon Balrons...
Yes a pet takes longer. All you are doing is saying all kill. Hold a Demon slayer book and cast ebolt to speed it up.
Also dexxers are using slayer weapons with the correct damage type weapons.
Your pet does not have slayer teeth.
I assume he chose it because they have 1000HP and he thought that was good.
A triton would also do same damage but they have healing and are less squishy than dragons. And they can heal.
Para Balrons have so many HP that it takes forever to do them with just a pet and no player damage.
disco tamer and a cu
why on earth are you using a frost dragon
No wonder you are always having a mare and complaining that others do so well writing essays in here
just listen to what people tell you
i bet you don’t even have a disco tamer or a cu do you ?
Greater heal and heal aren't based on eval, just magery skill.
bless duration, however, IS based on eval...
That is quite difficult to do if the Tamer needs to cast Greater Heal on the pet a go-go....
There is not much room in between to can offensive spells on the Paragon Balron.... other then the occasional one when the pet is at full health...
But the Paragon Balrons hit for a LOT of damage so, keeping the pet healed is the priority, and that leaves little room for also using offensive spells....
Too bad, though, that now those CU-Sidhes, Dragons and 5 slots pets that a lot of Tamers may have in their Stables have been made useless by the Designers because, when they introduced the Pet Training, they did not do something for Tamers to be able to keep all of those older pets as still viable...
And, I just did not have the time and will to go out and tame tons of new CU-Sidhes or Dragons and scroll and train them up....
I also do not see "why" those already tamed and stabled old CU-Sidhes and Dragons had to have been made "useless" overnight, thus wasting all of the effort that players put into selecting and getting them, back in the days.
EVERYONE else has adapted. Everyone else has crappy cu’s that they don’t use now
you want advice and then debate the s**t out if it
I will NOT entertain this as I do not need to negotiate with you I have 9 fully trained tamers on multiple shards that WORK
so here is what you need to do
1. take a long look at yourself and your attitude here
2. Actually take in what people are saying to you
3. you are not clever enough to convince us that we are wrong
4 get a cu. any colour it does not matter
5 get a level 3 taming mastery
6 train the pet
7 go kill stuff
you have plenty of time. You waste so much of it here with your looooooooong drawn out borefest journals
if you want to get on in the game you have to adapt. Bin the frost dragon I mean damn, really?..
if you don’t have time then just do us ALL a favour and quit Everyone else finds the time. You cannot have it all handed to you.
and NO a thief is not the way forward in these events
and train a sampire
and STOP wasting game time thinking up nonsense arguments to trivial problems that only you seem to have
if you don’t have the required armour or masteries etc BUY them. After all this time your bank must be stuffed with gold
everyone but YOU have accepted and moved on. The time to whinge about pet training is loooooong past. It’s here. Get used to it and learn
1 disco tamer.
2 SW tamer mage
Create and train both of the above
REAL taming skills not jewels and a cu. you get in trouble you can ride it out of harms way
now do all that and see you in 2 months when it’s all done. And you’re welcome. Enjoy enhanced gameplay
I refuse to tame new CU-Sidhes or Dragons because a change in the game overlooking the existing ones made them obsolete.
It is a matter of principle.
The Developers should have thought about it OR, when the issue came up, they should have provided to players the ability to re-use their existing, stabled CU-Sidhes or Dragons or any other pet which theets' training change made obsolete.
One of the good of the Taming gameplay, is to get somewhat "close" to one's own pet.
Those pets in the Stables, for some tamers, are not mere pixels, they old memories, hunts done together, they have names, they are, in one word, "pets".
And I see it as totally wrong a Design which, when a change is introduced, totally ignores them as if they do not exist, as if players did not spend time hunting with them, getting attached to them and all that,
Each player plays for a reason, there are also Tamers who see their pets as something "more" then mere weapons.
Yet, no room for Evaluate Intelligence (have Resisting Spells instead) so, I focus on keeping the pet alive, rather then cast offensive spells on the Monsters.
And if I drop dead, I cannot keep my pet healed so, staying alive is rather fundamental to the gameplay, especially with tough Monsters who hit the pet hard and, thus, require me to do intensive healing, or in situations where there is extra spawn in the area about which I need to be very careful about.
I will try swapping Resisting Spells with Evaluate Intelligence and see if I feel it better.
Thanks for the advice.

This ! This so much finally explains everything to me the demands for more stable slots. for my pet just can't even ..
A frost dragon is a very nice pet - in the right circumstance. Shadow guard belfry maybe? I have a stable full of pets that I switch out depending what I plan to fight - but have to admit I've chickened out of training my old 2 slot 315hp/518str nightmare.
I mean, I ONLY and strictly stick to healing my pet, do not move 1 tile and, yet, the Paragon STILL retargets me.
It really gets annoying and frustrating.
Sometimes I find my self with this casting pattern.... greater heal (pet) . invisibility on self - greater heal (pet) . invisibility on self - greater heal (pet) . invisibility on self - greater heal (pet) . invisibility on self - greater heal (pet) . invisibility on self - greater heal (pet) . invisibility on self -
over and over and over till I have mana or the Paragon has died....
I do not find it fun, especially, if I stay still and do not cast offensive spells on the Monsters.
Since at the time I was not playing UO, I missed that window, entirely.
I am sure, just like me, that there is plenty Tamers returning to Ultima Online, with such pets in their Stables, who find themselves "stuck" ike I am with pets which have a history for them and, yet, which are totally useless to them now, because the Developers decided, who knows why, that the slots revert had to be time limited, and not a permanent one for old, stabled pets like I, and many other Tamers returning to UO, might have.
Sometimes, I have a hard time understanding why the Developers make certain decisions....
