Editing General Pet Guide (section)

== Pet Skills ==
Below is a listing of all of the skills a pet can learn.  Skills can be learned taking the appropriate [[Skill Scroll|Skill Scrolls]] to a [[Pet Manager]].  Skills can be upgraded by using a [[Tame Book]], purchased from [[Mrs. Zoologist]] or [[Zoologist Yin]] in Archosaur, when the pet has reached the appropriate level.

Most Skill Scrolls can be purchased from Mrs. Zoologist or Zoologist Yin, while others must be acquired from either the Auction House or other sources such as [[Dragon Temple]].

Each skill has the following information listed:

{| {{DefTable}}
!Levels 
|The levels at which your pet can learn/upgrade the skill.
|-
!Effects
|Type of effect: Formula and description.  SL is the Skill Level (1 - 5).
|-
!Type
|The mitigation check used by the pet's target on "Damage:" effects.
|}
As an example, Bash's information shows that the skill can be learned at level 1, upgraded by one skill level when your pet reaches levels 20, 40, 60 and 80.  It also shows that at skill level 1 it deals 140% of the pet's base damage, which is then mitigated by the target's Physical Defense.  For every skill level, the damage increases by 15% and caps at 200% for skill level 5.

=== 8 Second Reuse ===
These are your "bash" type skills.  They're very useful as your auto-skill because their quick reuse generates a lot of [[aggro]] (which represents your pet's ability to keep itself as the target).

<br>

=== 10 Second Reuse ===
These skills are general purpose and have reasonably quick reuse times.

|-
! Taunt
| Puts pet on top of the target's hate list.  Higher level skill puts the pet farther ahead of the next highest on the hate list.
|}
<br>

=== 30 Second Reuse ===
The reuse time on these skills makes their seemingly great effects often less desirable than they would appear at first glance (Bash will do more damage than Sacrifice, for example).

<br>

=== 60 Second Reuse ===
These skills have exceptionally long reuse timers (for normal mobs, they'll be used at most once per fight).  This makes them very situational and of questionable usefulness.
<br>
{| style="background:transparent" border="0" 
| [[Image:Pounce.jpg]]
| '''Pounce''' (The in-game description '''''incorrectly''''' states that the attack rate increase depends on the success of the stun)

|-
! Stun & Buff

|-
! Buff
| (25 + 5 * SL)% incoming damage reduction for 15s.
|}
<br>

=== Buff Skills ===
These are the only buffs which will affect your pet.  They are all quite useful and are therefore very expensive to acquire through the auction house.
