Editing The General and Generic Venomancer Guide (section)

== Veno Techniques ==

There are two things every venomancer should learn or know. The first is non-stop grinding, the  second is luring. 

The goal of non-stop grinding is to grind and grind and grind without the usage of any charms, minimal usage of pots, and never ever stopping to meditate or do anything else except for grinding. The three key skills to this is using Nature's Grace when you're at the appropriate MP amount, then when it does down to the relatively same level again, use Soul Transfusion then Metabolic Boost. When you're back at the same level, Nature's Grace's cooldown should be over and you can repeat the pattern. At lower levels, you'll probably need some pots to supplement the pattern, but as you max out the 2 skills, it'll be easier and easier on you, given that you don't ever get touched by a mob. If your pattern is disrupted by resurrecting a dead pet or getting ninjaed by some mobs, you could potentially fix everything by going into Fox Form and Leeching anything that moves whilst using Soul Transfusion until your HP and MP levels are both near full. It's that simple to grind with a veno.

Luring is easier to master, since you can practice as soon as you get a pet at level 3. Simply stand far away from the target, preferably 24 meters or so, order your pet to attack the mob, and as soon as the pet shows the attack animation, unsummon it. Chances are, you'll see the mob do damage to your pet and vice versa, and the mob will start after you immediately or delay a bit before running at you. At this point, you can start running if the mob is fairly quick, or you can take the time to quickly re-summon your pet and have it block the mob before it gets to you. When you resummon your pet, you should notice that it wasn't damaged at all by the mob, despite that numbers showed up right as you unsummoned it. It's that simple. Luring is mostly performed when you want to draw a specific mob out of a crowd of mobs that aggro. It's also much easier to lure on melee mobs due to their short ranged nature. This technique is invaluable in FBs and especially TTs, so learn it and learn it well. More information about luring can be found [[Venomancer Luring|on the Venomancer Luring Guide]].
