I don't know, I tried the slug's Max HP down thing on Heqet and don't see one swing doing 10%.

Well, its kinda funny how MAX hp down works... remember its like CURSE. Haven't you seen your pet's hp bar against something that does this? Like hahava? All of a suddent you pet who was at 50% hp looks like he's at 80~100% hp... but its not.. its the MAX hp that is reduced. Its only helpful if you hit them at the beginning, when hp is high/full, or its something that can cure itself. When it wears off, you'll see what looked like 100% hp is all of a sudden 90% on a big boss.

I can say I've not been underestimating the slug at all. I was rooting for a slug pet 1 year ago. Any bst who has actually hunted them, can tell you how nasty their tp moves are, and how ineffectual they are against thier own kind. I pretty much expected SE to nerf the water absorption, and the encumbrance causing fuscous ooze, but they still have great ready moves. Corrosive ooze is a nightmare to get landed on you, and getting both corrosive ooze and purulent ooze usually discourages anyone from hunting them unless you have a really good reason.

I was looking forward to the slug alot more than the tiger. I figured Shasra was very similiar to a tiger anyway. (high movement speed & attack, potent paralyze...) . The main thing I wanna check w/ hobs is whether he has high resistance to ice damage. then again, his tp moves will probably be top tier for physical dd. Lulush seems to have the bet ready moves for that so far. (very fun to use for WotG missions where you battle hoards of beasmen.. whirl claws + glyph axe FTW!!)... oh yeah, it was really fun hitting 2k foot kick in abyssea tahrongi the other day too. yay for crit hit ready moves and RR + VV
