If you can choose TWO Tiers, what would you choose?

This is a stupid hypothetical question but I've been thinking about being able to customize your own pets by choosing specific tiers. Basically, you can only choose two tiers and these two tiers can mix-match from another set or even from the same set. The down-side is, you can only have TWO group(s) of pets, not the usual three (minion, lieut, boss).

So to give you an example, on my Necro/Dark, I am willing to try two Lich and get rid of zombies and grave knights. Yes, I know I am gimping myself but I don't mind blasting myself. This is just a "what if" combo. I want to cast three Fear and debuff the !@#$ of everything. I know my damage will be poor.

Another example is I want to take Oni and Prince Demon. This is like having two Dominators both have a mix of range, melee and holds. :P


How would you customize your two groups? You can go with two Assault Robots. That's a lot of aoe damage but you'll lose the defense and heal from Protector.

(and yes, I am bored at work...so)

What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

I'd go for a couple of Protector Bots and a couple of Demons.

I'd call the Hellfire Gargoyle "Tanky"

Some combos that might be fun:

  • Two Assault Bots
  • Two Bruisers (especially if they ever port /Kin)
  • Two sets of Demons (double resist aura and lots of healing)
  • Lich plus Demon Prince
  • Two sets of Genin (just for the ninja horde look)
  • Two sets of Protector Bots
  • Demons and Protector Bots
  • Two sets of Enforcers
  • Two Commandos (had to think of something Merc related )

Cascade, level 50 Blaster (NRG/NRG since before it was cool)
Mechmeister, level 50 Bots / Traps MM
FAR too many non-50 alts to name

4 Jounin would be insane, as these guys have top tier DPS and survivability.

I would have to agree with going with 4 Jounin. The DPS would be pretty crazy and their defense is pretty good as well.

Yeah, I also think 4 Enforcers would be pretty sick too.

And for ST damage, I would go with 4 Grave Knights than 4 Jounins just because GK has way better range attacks.


What would be the worst combo? 4 Spec-Ops? Maybe 4 Spec-Ops can do alright in pvp due to all the web grenades (but probably not enough damage to take down anything).


Two Lieut Demons can stack resistance but their damage is kinda low? I made a Demon but I am not too familiar with them to be honest.

Now, two Lieut Demon and two Protector Robots could be fun. Resistance + defense combo.

I would also try Two Jounins and Two Grave Knights because GK has range tohit debuffs that may help Jounins. Or maybe just two Jounins and one Lich.

What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

Nobody seems to like Oni much? hehehe

Now, I figure having two tiers of the same pets could be overpowering (for example, two Assault Robots), if you can mix-match two tiers only, what is your Dream Combo? Some of you already mentioned Two Lieut Demons + Two Protector Robots.


My dream combo would probably be:

Two Enforcers + Two Grave Knights
