Ranger Main - Suggested BOT summon?

[Rerfu]

Edit: After much grinding and testing, Paladin BOT with Tepid Deeds Proc 2hb from Sol B wins out by bar. I can just summon him and roll through Plane of Valor like its nothing without any other characters. Thanks to Kilmer for the suggestion.


Hello,

New to THF, managed to grind my ranger up to level 55 in 3 days with the extra exp from the event. I'm wondering what bot is considered best for my situation.

-Level 55 Ranger
-Crushbone Armor with 1 Chaos Wrist
-Chaos Mistwalker Blade MH, Swiftwind OH

I've had a love / hate with Cleric bot so far. I love its healing capacity, I hate the fact that it adds exactly 0 DPS to killing things.

Shaman has been solid so far, I have yet to give the wolf pet toys that could be a major loss in damage I didn't see. He casts slow first, then does quite a bit of dots. I get nervous with its healing ability.

Paladin seems like a 1 Bot wrecking crew so far. Using the Fabled Journeyman Walking Stick which procs Tash for his stuns. He heals great. At level 54 he got the undeadbane proc spell that absolutely tears up Guk. I even had a good laugh while "trying" to fight a Dread Wraith in City of Mist. The mob had me charmed and he casted DI to go invul with like 6% HP left. This extended the fight another min or two.

I briefly tried a Magician bot with pet toys around level 40 or so. Seems alright, but the lack of healing for when I try tough content is a downside.

I geared the warrior bot out of instinct, thinking at some point I'd need a emergency tank. I have not done any summoning with him though.

My Necromancer bot is in full crushbone armor including chest, but everytime I summon him he lives and I die. If only I could stay alive longer.

That's my experience with bots so far.

I was wondering if anyone with more experience leveling the 55-62 ish areas with char + bot that might have better information?

Thank you in advance for any knowledge.

Firstly, You'll notice that this section is for Bot related problems and bot improving suggestions, so wrong forum..

Secondly welcome to the forum!

Thirdly, you will be able to get a slowing weapon sooner or later, so when you do, it'll make life easier for you.

Paladins are good at group healing, but shadowknight's lifetap will also suffice for a tanking purpose, and their lifetap along with pet, adds more dps than paladins for your dps needs.

Beastlords have slows and heals, that you can try with. They also slow mobs. See if they casts dots during the fight, and if they do, then it's probably not worth botting with, and SK's self heals would be better for you on non-undead zones.

I'd suggest paladins, sk, and beastlords for you only, in your current situation.

Or if you do root and shoot, then a wizard is good too, as bot's mana regens are quite good, when you don't feel like tanking.

Give it a try!

paladin bots work really good for when your solo, however dont neglect a cleric bot (instant resist spells as dummies, instant cures are vital in later end content if you plan on doing it)

At 70, with a 2nd account cleric. I'm becoming really partial to the warrior bot.

I farmed 2x Chaotic Short Sword of the Ykesha for him to hold aggro with.

Setting up at the wall in plane of valor. Parking the cleric on the wall, have the warrior bot guard a bit ahead, pull with ranger and leave bow going. Send in warrior bot, heal warrior bot. Mega EXP.
