Bakes are mares on steroids lol. Higher hp's, strong magery, just an all around nice complement to a beetle. You have to walk when using them, but oh well. I just started playing with them a week or two ago, but I really do like them. I've got one fairly well trained, and the other still has work to do. I run a beetle/bake combo or the two bakes together. I watched my better bake take drags down faster than my cu's can, but obviously I had to heal them, something you don't worry about with the cu's.

With that said, I doubt I'll be using the bakes (or the cu's) against the new drags. I saw those bad boys kill dozens of pets yesterday, from cu's to ww's, to mare/bug combos. A lot of pets got trashed hehe.

Well done! I tried to take down a Paragon Cu Sidde with my well trained Dog and I gave up after 15 minutes or so. It was a timely task indeed and one which requires some paitence. So I tip my hat to you...

The artifact Drop on Paragon Cus is extremely high in my opinion... as it should be. When I break up the spawn (4 Paragons) with my Bard I get an artifact about 25% of the time. I've gotten more artifacts breaking up the spawn than from any of my other activities as a predominantly solo player.

Well, I've killed two paragons now. This time, I hit a luck statue a few hours earlier, but it ran out just as I redlined the fey beast!

*shakes fist*

I will get my Alchemist's Bauble yet!
