How do I get past Talon? I always fail....

what's your team/team setup when you try?

the same it is now. Shadow, Hariva, and then Ember..

okay, well, Ember, as the Shadow element pet, should be in slot 1. Air is not a Tanking element, and has no way to heal itself outside of mend.

Ember:
Profs could go in HP, Int, or Agi, though most people put their Tank's profs to HP/Agi
Equipment should be Illusionist gear, and should preferably be both epic+ rarity and within ten levels of the pet- at the moment Ember has two illusionist equips, but both are under lv40* (all of Ember's equips are, actually) (*but DON'T replace them with uncommon gear if that's all you have over lv40, uncommon is garbage best sold to the site for gold)

Hariva:
Profs are fine for a light pet, but one of her equips is a myrmidon (which is primarily for Air pets), and again, all equipment is far lower level than you'd want.
Light pets should have Illusionist or Evoker (or a combo of both), depending on if you want the pet to have more Agi to get off the heals sooner in a turn, or Dex to have the higher chance of a crit attack that will heal the party more

Shadow:
As an Air pet, her profs should be either 2Str or 1Str/1Dex at sub-60 levels. Air is not built to be a Tank as an element as a whole- it's built to be an all-out attacker, pure offense.
Same low-level equipment problem, but she needs Myrmidon- she only has one at the moment

okay, how's that? I sold all they had, and bought better ones. (or so I hope)

I'm still Kathyultrayima, but this is my bby bro's account. i'm account sitting for him. how do you think it would work if I put some of his pets on my team? he wouldn't mind. do you think that'd help? most of his are max stats.

1. if you're account-sitting for someone, I believe the limit on what you're allowed to do pretty much amounts to "organizing stables, organizing inventory"- no battling, no breeding, no trading, buying or selling, or anything at all like that. (especially if it's to your own account) It might get you flagged for multi-accounting, if I remember right.

2. from the other message you pinged us on, looks like the changed setup worked? (on that note, there's no real difference between the chests so far as I know, it's all just completely random every time)

3. you absolutely don't need max stats for it, unless you're just looking to shred the dungeon faster than a top-of-the-line blender.

4. The equipment and prof setup is better, yes.

5. you can get better equipment (epic/legendary) from mission satchels and from elites/bosses in areas matching the level of the equips (lv50 elites/bosses drop lv50 equips, lv50 very hard mission satchels give lv50 equips etc) (mythical is the same, but is only obtained from the 3-4 elite/boss fights in the two dungeons, lv25 mythicals from Nightfall, lv50 mythicals from Dungeon of the Forsaken)
(and from the trade broker, obviously)

thank you
