	You will want to command your pet to attack before you yourself attack. This will ensure that you pet gains and holds the attention of a monster. Should you land an attack before your pet, you will need to tank the monster’s damage instead of your pet (something not recommended for ~~Arcane~~ Venomancers). Using the Attack command also allows you to switch targets quickly in the case that you attract the attention of more than one monster at a time. If you do not send your pet to attack the additional monsters whose attention you’ve drawn, you will pull aggression onto yourself (even if you are only healing your pet).		You will want to command your pet to attack before you yourself attack. This will ensure that you pet gains and holds the attention of a monster. Should you land an attack before your pet, you will need to tank the monster’s damage instead of your pet (something not recommended for weaker Venomancers). Using the Attack command also allows you to switch targets quickly in the case that you attract the attention of more than one monster at a time. If you do not send your pet to attack the additional monsters whose attention you’ve drawn, you will pull aggression onto yourself (even if you are only healing your pet).

	Though perhaps less frequently used than the previous two commands, the Halt command finds its uses for complex luring. Additionally, much like the Follow command, it can be used to prevent your pet from doing any additional damage. Please note that the Halt command will still be active for all summoned pets should it not be turned off before a pet is stowed.

Roles

Line 215:		Line 215:

	With the right pet, a Venomancer can also play the role of the “Tank”. Generally speaking, a Venomancer’s pet must be ten to fifteen levels above a boss in order to be able to tank comfortably. The only exception to this rule would be legendary pets. Using a legendary pet, a Venomancer can tank a boss at or above their current level. If you are worried about a boss overwhelming your pet, it may be wise to team up with other Venomancers. Not only can Venomancers heal their own pets, they can also heal the pets of other Venomancers simply by selecting them and starting their heal spell. The greater the number of healers, the better survivability your pet will have. Note: Bosses with extremely severe debuffs such as Eyes of the Krimson Beyond and Cenequus Polearm cannot be tanked by a Venomancer.

			Also, depending on the boss, the veno herself may take the beating. For bosses that stay ranged and deal magic damage, the mage oriented veno can shine, calling on her pet to DD and a cleric friend to help keep her alive. For bosses that come in close and hit with melee attacks, the Heavy Armor veno uses the excellent p.def bonuses from Fox Form to her advantage. With the veno as the tank, you can take advantage of cleric/mystic heals, damage reduction, apothecary, purification, and other survival tricks that do not work on pets.

	In the instances where they are not the tank, Venomancers become an important support class. The ability to pass chi to other players using the skill “Lending Hand” ensures that squad members have the resources they need to use all of their skills. Venomancers are also known to be excellent damage dealers.		In the instances where they are not the tank, Venomancers become an important support class.

	Due to the unique ability to use both magic and melee attacks there are several builds that Venomancers can have. These builds include the Pure Mage Build, Mage Build, Vitality-Mage Build, Light Armor Build and Heavy Armor Build. For more information on each build please see:		Due to the unique ability to use both magic and melee attacks, there are several builds that Venomancers can have.

	As can be expected, none of the builds listed are without weaknesses. However there are several ways that you can mitigate such weaknesses. The first is my imbuing soulgems into your equipment. Soulgems are stones that can be infused into your armor and weapons to increase various characteristics. There are primarily three soulgems that players commonly imbue into their equipment: Garnet Shards, Sapphire Shards and Citrine Shards.

	==Skills==		==Skills==

	A Venomancer’s skills are divided into two skill trees. The first skill tree centers on magic attacks. These skills can only be used when you are not in fox form and when you have a magic weapon equipped. The second skill tree focuses primarily on melee attacks. To use these skills you must be in fox form. Your choice of skills will be dependent on your gameplay preferences and more specifically the build that you choose. As an ~~arcane~~ Venomancer you will be primarily relying on the magic attack skill tree however you will also turn to the fox form skill tree to learn several debuffs. As a light or heavy amour Venomancer you may rely more heavily on the fox form skill tree but will also borrow skills from the magic attack skill tree. It is not likely that you will strictly focus on one stream of skills. To play a Venomancer successfully you should be taking advantage of both skill trees. For suggestions on the skills you should have as an ~~arcane~~ Venomancer, please see the guide below.		A Venomancer’s skills are divided into two skill trees.

	Putting your pet on Manual makes them more responsive to commands when in combat than when any other stance. In both Auto and Defend, a pet will attack enemies automatically thus making it difficult to tell your pet to Follow or Halt. The same issue does not occur when a pet is in the Manual stance. It is therefore recommended that this stance be used when luring a monster or boss using the Follow command or when wanting to prevent your pet from doing any additional damage.
