BST Trio, what to do?

[Manatra]

Hey, I was wondering, how well would a BST trio work and how exactly would I go about levelling and stuff?

I'm asking this because in less than two weeks me and two other friends are going to start levelling a BST trio and I'm wondering how we can go about levelling and stuff.

Thanks for any replies ^^v

Prior to 35 (Release), no idea. If you all have pets, the wait til for the mob to kill off all three pets after you heel/stay them will be horribly slow.

After 35, however, all of you take pets (no Tough or higher) and let them take the mob down to a fraction - then release them all and finish it off. It's very easy. If you run into any 'finishing off' problems, have one person keep their pet each fight. The hate should easily stay on the pet and give another helping hand. That person will take a 30% xp penalty, of course, but is worth it if you'd otherwise take a beating and need resting downtime. Alternate who the pet keeper is to keep the xp even between everyone.

I currently do this in a 5-BST party and we take on IT++ all the time for constant chains of over 200. Mischarms are a breeze as we're all very good at snagging someone else's mischarm (either by taking it directly, or releasing ours and taking theirs.) Tame also erases aggro on non-aggro pets. In other words, if you mischarm and it attacks, any of the BST's can Tame it and it goes passive again.

You'll love your BST party. =)

I agree. Safer, more fun, better exp, faster exp, etc.

Charm one by one if you want, so you can cover each other in case of failed charm. Or just use your pet to attack the failed charm to keep it busy while the other person's timer resets.

But remember the more ppl you add into your pt the tougher the stuff you have to fight. If you're using DC/EM pets then 3 of you will probably have to start with VT mobs to keep the xp at a good rate.

Problem with larger than duo BST PTs is that there's always one guy who WS's right after the last guy's release without waiting 1 or 2 seconds, thereby giving him a 30% penalty.

I'm usually that guy
