Editing Role of the Venomancer (section)

== Using your pet in critical PvE situations ==

As has been mentioned above, venomancer pets are capable of tanking. When the current squad's tank dies and there is no other person capable of tanking, you, as a venomancer, have to take action. If your pet is able to tank the boss, simply grab aggro (recommended skill: '''Roar''', resets aggro - great for forcing aggro on your pet) and keep healing your pet until your tank is alive again. If your pet, however, is unable to tank the particular boss you can call your pet back, after making sure aggro is on the pet (pet should be set on Manual in order for this to work).  Keep running around and have your pet follow you. This way, the pet will rarely get hit and will be able to survive long enough, until your tank is ready again. In case your pet dies, don't panic. Use the survival skills you have learned above and keep going! Venomancers are generally fast, you should be able to survive in most situations.

In case your cleric or somebody that you have to save (such as your FB tabber), suddenly pulls one or more monsters you can do the following: If there are a lot of monsters you can either use Noxious Gas to grab aggro or Parasitic Nova to immobilize the monsters. If there is only one, Lucky Scarab should do the job.

Do carry a few Resurrection Scrolls with you. They can be bought from any Merchant. When the whole squad is killed, monsters might still be alive and close to your squad members. A venomancer is very suitable for the job of killing those monsters as you have your pet to lure and tank and two skills, Metabolic Boost and Nature's Grace, to quickly gain some of your HP and MP back.

Venomancers are also good at escorting members, such as clerics who have died and are returning from town.
