Pulmono for taming: HP or %damage?

[Olirin]

So what to up for using scorpio instead of tranq arrow? HP (tanking) or %damage(uping%poison)? i m afraid %damage may kill dinos befor KO them...
maybe arrow are better, if someone tested. :)

Their tranq damage is based on level so youw ant to tame the highest level possible and never increase his melee damage.

Wrong. Torpor scales with damage.

Does increasing melee dmg to a scorpion also increase the venom effect?
I thought it would only do more dmg, but that torpor/venom (scorpion/dilo) effect would still stay the same...?

Yep 45 Torpor and 15 Damage at 100% Melee. at 200% its 90 Torpor and 30 Damage.

From what I've heard torpor increases with damage. However 8t scales equally so if you keep damage low it will take more stings to take down higher level dino but you will also do less damage per sting for lower levels. You can avoid doing more damage than needed to the lower levels you are trying to tame. I like HP and movement speed if you feel so inclined. To avoid taking the hits in the first place.

I remember ark gamepedia saying it was level at some point
