Greater dragon question

I just got a super dragon and wanted to know if he is worth keeping

Fresh tame, 841 hps, 68 phys resist 88 fire 114 mage. Those are the only stats that were crazy, the others were average. Was just wondering if it was worth keeping.

Re: Greater dragon question

We need more information. Your hit points are ok, not uber but not terrible. Your physical is low, fire is two off of max. To figure your final wrestle/tactics/resist levels, multiply the fresh tame values by 1.25...this will get you to within .1 of the final fully trained value. Give us all the resists as well. The maxes are 85/90/55/60/75. With the limited information you gave us, I would say it's ok, but nothing to get too excited about. Personally, I prefer max or close to max physical, since the majority of mobs deal some (if not a lot of) physical damage.

Re: Greater dragon question

Aye, sorry I didn't list out full stats. The other resists hit right on average for a greater dragon. I wasn't sure if he was worth keeping based on the fact that he had only 68% physical resist and 841 hps.

Re: Greater dragon question

Try this link for Greater Dragons. Veterinary Master - Greater Dragons

The site is also very good for taming in general.

Re: Greater dragon question

The physical resist is pretty low, depending on what you plan to do with him.

I currently run with a 963hp 68% phys dragon that positively destroys mobs with firebreath. Especially since it's 1060ish hp when fighting because he constantly blesses himself.

On the other hand, it does take quite a beating when fighting monsters that deal out primarily physical damage. I can fight Dreadhorn very effectively with other supers present, but a Berserker demon absolutely crushes this pet.

Re: Greater dragon question

I ended up giving him away. It was a decent dragon, but I went after bigger and better.

I ended up with a 905hp 77% phys 77% fire and max cold/poison/electric.

I found a new trick for honor taming. Go in with your Cu, sick it on them, lore them, if they are good, mount up run out and go stable. Then, come back and tame.

Re: Greater dragon question

Here's a quicker trick. Run in on your ethy. Invis. Lore. If he's worth taming, unmount, honor yourself, and start the tame.

Re: Greater dragon question

Wait, you can lore while invis? Or are you just saying for the delay of them attacking.

Re: Greater dragon question

Holy crap, you win the internet twice and have unlocked the special soundtrack!

Seriously, though, thanks a lot. I was either just running close with lore up and hoping he didn't fire breath me, or doing the Cu trick.
