Soul Gem pets

[Scott Toddelson]

Is there a faster way to recover these pets when they die?

[ehyder]

Nope. Not yet.

I'm thinking it might be useful to have several ready to go so you can alternate them as they die.

Indeed it is. When I go pet XP farming, I take all my (useful) pets with me, (that's about 7-8). Often, by the time I get to the end-of-the-line, some of my other pets are already healed.

It also helps if you don't allow them to die -- that way, you can bring them out again if even they don't have full HP.

I know a lot of people wouldn't do this because it's cheating, but I have a Butcher with over 2k health and no health regen, so I personally don't care at this point.

I got cheat engine, and applied speed hack x 100. What would have taken hours for my butcher to heal only took a minute.

i havent been able to capture a butcher yet, what level soul gem do you use?

Thanks

I farmed for a legendary Butcher yesterday and brought him down to minimal health. My lvl 3 soul gem just bounced off when I tried to capture it. Are legendary enemies scaled differently or something? Or not able to be captured?

Decreasing the monsters health before throwing the soul gem makes it more likely that you will capture them.

And not always possible to capture monsters from the first time.

Thanks for that info! I attempted a capture about 20 times at about 20 health to avail. This will likely be that spark to grind another legendary butcher this evening.

My god.. I just got my mimic to level 6 and its rediculously powerful. Level 7 is 99,000 xp LOL.
Here's the thing with mimic pets I've learned: don't let them die.. once they get health regen it's much faster to spawn them and let them heal up with life regen trait then let them die which takes much longer. Of course, even at level 4, the only threat to them I've seen so far is legendary class enemies.

I do also have a legendary butcher, but he's low level still and mimic kinda stole the show. Mimic pet is just a killing machine. :) He does like 200 damage per hit but he also has bonuses that let's him take out anything in 1-2 hits.

Yea, mimics and butchers are pretty awesome. though I kinda want a legendary crawler with haste >.> just seems like it would be hilarious.

I know as the game gets more complicated, things will get nerfed and such, but for now, seems like all you need is a mimic and just power level it. One of my plundered worlds, I just carved out the hell area so my mimic can't get confused by tormented souls above it. That way it's a XP arena basically for it to follow me and power level itself. 50k XP was a long time to do even with it tearing through everything like a knife thru butter.

So much for necros.. throw lvl 6 mimic into the room and its all over in a few seconds. I haven't fought the dragon boss yet.. any suggestion on how I could use lvl 6 mimic on it? Also.. I'm not sure how to enter the portal. I stood at it but nothing happened.
