Proper stat investment for Wyverns?

[Phelix]

I was fortunate enough to find a 228 Poison Wyvern egg on the server I play on. http://www.dododex.com/stat-calculator/wyvern/228?&h=12819&s=797.5&o=705&f=11280&w=806.4&d=415.1&name=Venomshroud Those are the stats that he had when he hatched. I intend on using him as a means for combat/dps, and seeing as a lot of the research I have done is outdated in terms of pre-flyer nerf stat investment. I would like to know what to aim for statistically as far as HP/Stam goes, before dumping all future level ups into MDmg.

Thanks in advance to those who respond.

I usually pump Health to 20k and then the rest into stamina on most wyverns, but in the case of a poison wyvern you would probably be better off pumping into melee. The gain on Stamina is horrible on wyverns, but I've managed to get it up to 2000 on a 800 base stamina wyvern with the rest pumped into health. Poison wyverns are best at killing riders of other tames, so damage may be the best way to go, depending on how you want to play him. More stamina = more energy attacks before having to land, so keeep that in mind.

So specifically for poison i use them as sort of tanks for my wyverns as they do basically no damage to enemy dinos compared to lightning and fire wyverns. The poison breath is only really good for killing players off mounts or players on the ground which comes down more to aim than dps. So for that reason, personally i get at least 1500 stam then pump 20k or more hp, putting very few points into melee.

I pump almost the same way on my wyverns, but doesn't the poison wyverns inital gas ball impact reflect the melee damage percentage. Hence the impact hit from 600 melee poison wyvern should one shot most riders, or am I wrong?

Yes it does but from what ive seen, direct hits with a poison shot will instantly kill almost anyone as long the wyverns melee is even half decent. (We have a 350 melee poison wyvern that i use to one shot my tribe mates when they do ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥)

If I read correctly the initial hit does reflect mdmg% currently what I am thinking is 15K HP / 1200 Stam / Rest into Melee to one shot riders, and have enough hp/stam to fight.

So mine with 403% is high enough to one shot people? Because I honestly was going to invest to 500%

Poison Wyverns are also good to kill off tames outside turret range in raid times...so more melee/stam = more effective wyvern.

Im pretty sure the shot ignores armor, so if it does over 300 damage you should be good unless somebody invested in nothing but HP. I would do some testing with some tribe mates first before you commit to anything.

*UPDATE*

Current Level: 278 (Hatched 228)

605% Melee (628 Bite DMG / 787 Psn Breath DMG)
15K HP
1500 STAM

At this point I don't know how to invest, I few ideas come to mind as far as making him either tankier (Aim for 20K HP) or able to stay airborne longer and more breath spam (2K to 3K Stam) I ask because there are a lot of knowledgable minds on here, and I would appreciate some recommendations.
