I need help with the proficiencies on this pet. Any help? Ignore that he is not owned by me, my friend is leveling him for me.

Double heath. I used that and it brought me super far after I changed my old proficiency points to that.

That would be nice, I might do what Lark said though

Larkien-
I'll probably do that

With what i see, there is two ways you could use it :

Change it as an air or fire element instead so the dexterity woudn't be neaded to be touched for now. If you do so placing all in strength/intelligence would give you a good offensive pet.

If you already have a pet for one of those two elements (they have more or less the same role) you can keep it as a shadow pet and give it 2 in intelligence for a stronger syphon.

The main difference here is that the shadow element dosn't nead the dexterity (your highest stat) to work well so it will remain only as a secondary boost for critical hits, speed and acuracy while the fire and air use and nead that stat alot more in their attack.

Oh ok, so definitely not dex

your base dexterity is maxed out so until you get your next proefiency point a good equipement will definitively do the trick at boosting it, maby later once you get in the second part of the LG but it isnt a priority rn ^-^
