i really wanted a tank pet because my cat was not working great for me.
i got a crab and found it only can use claw. however, i love the way it looks and fights.
is it really bad that it doesnt have 2 different attacks. when i went to petopia i found its modifiers are actually better than turtles and bears.
does different attacks actually make it better
Debatable as far as leveling is concerned. Claw uses more focus, so if you have it on autocast, your pet will often be unable to growl for lack of focus, and the mob will be attacking you instead of your pet.
Bite>claw for standard use. Claw is best for a pure dps pet such as a cat. Go tame a wolf in mulgore and use it until you learn bite yourself. Then stable/abandon it and get a boar. Have the boar use charge, growl, and bite. It’ll be perfect for solo leveling and work well in dungeons.
i have been using the crab all day and i really like it. it has no problems going against an enemy 3 and 4 levels above it. it doesnt lose aggro as long as i wait until it gets its first hit.
i like it much more than the cat i was using. he looks cool too. i got the one petopia calls BRONZE. i love the green on his back. i love it
Use what you like. But the problem with crabs is they dont have dash or dive and they help speed up getting to things fast. If you pvp that speed will get to the people running from you.
