Beastmaster
by Charis


Class: Necromancer, Sorceress, Druid
Tag: BM

Introduction

The beast master feels the power of nature and surrounds himself with beasts. His/her skills and worn items strongly reflect this. The greatest evil in the game for the Beastmaster is the cow king, who has corrupted the most noble of beasts, the Bovine.

Items

ONLY gear with beast prefix or suffix, or animal (not demon) name can be worn - list below. The more beasts represented the better, so eventually dual (pref+suff) beast items are worn more and more. Note they will prefer wearing 'more' representative beast items than the 'best' available. If a high lvl BM didn't have a full dozen beasts represented, he would feel remiss.

Prefixes
Mana series: Lizard, Snake, Serpent, Drake, Dragon, Wyrm, Vulpine

Suffixes
Strength: Ox, Giant, Titan
HP series: Jackal, Fox, Wolf, Tiger, Mammoth, Colossus
Other: Leech, Locust, Bat, Vampire, Bear

Preferred Uniques
Blinkbat's Form, Howltusk, Hawkmail, Venom Ward, Snake Cord, Gull, Serpent Lord, Salamander (one of best for Hydra sorc)

Rares
Must have a beast name (e.g., Raven, Eagle) AND an attribute that reflects the power of a beast (e.g. Knockback=Bear).

Spells

Sorceress Beastmasters would never be without a Hydra, and Necromancers never without a Gorilla (Clay Golem) or a (Bone) Spirit. Druids BM's will likely have some pets to keep him company.
