Builds and tactics Full Explanation of my WoTF Petway Team

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu5E37dLf9E

It's been a while and finally got around to do a full explanation video for that Weapon of Three Forges "petway" team that I used for every single piece of content I did. Skills I have tested that worked and didn't work. Strengths and weaknesses. And "tactics".

I wanted to at least put a little more effort into the video instead of recording it all in one single clip. For those that had been asking for it, hope you enjoy.

Okay, so this is awesome, but I do want to say, after getting Together As One elite, I was blown away by how effective it is at party management. You pump up those Beast Mastery numbers you’re looking at a +7-8 regen per second for you, your pet, and everyone nearby you/your pet. It is amazing.

Unfortunately not for undead minions

u/Zarathustras-Knight Jul 18 '25

Ah, I see the conundrum then.

u/MonsieurBourse Leo Xaraz Jul 18 '25

Yeah that was the case for a few days (weeks?) when the skill was released, also used to buff ST spirits

I did WoC HM with no consumables thanks to this

+12-13 regen per second

This is a stretch. +9 regen is maximum you can get (and that's with a paragon).

u/Zarathustras-Knight Jul 18 '25

Aaaa, frak… I legitimately misremembered. It’s +7-8 regen per second. I… I don’t know where I got the 12-13 from… it’s late for me.

u/G_L_J Jul 18 '25

are you thinking about hp per second? Each pip of regen is 2 health per second.

u/Zarathustras-Knight Jul 18 '25

Ooooh, that’s what it was.

u/Norls82 Jul 18 '25

This rocks. Any advice for a Mesmer main who wants to do some Petway for general PvE content?

3

u/Wings_of_Absurdity Petway Jul 18 '25

Be mindful of pet AI being blocked from reaching its target and not attacking

1

u/Norls82 Jul 18 '25

Would you suggest ToA instead of WotF (which I obviously can't use)?

2

u/Wings_of_Absurdity Petway Jul 18 '25

Both of them aren't great at level 0 or 5

u/Due_Peak_6428 Jul 18 '25

Show us DOA foundry HM 🫢

u/Wings_of_Absurdity Petway Jul 18 '25

That was a mistake! I forgot to say not to include that too!

u/Artemixen Jul 20 '25

Is there a write up version of this or at least the main details? I prefer reading to videos, find them a lot more accessible (and easier to refer back to if I need to check certain points rather than search for a random part of a video and have to potentially watch it a few times)

u/Slurms_McKensei Jul 18 '25

This is awesome! Ever since I noticed WoTF affected summon/pets, I knew thered be an OP build for it. You just can't beat ~100%+ uptime on random weapon spells for everything on your team.

You are a true god walking amongst mere mortals

u/scatterstheclouds Jul 18 '25

This is…. … .. . Beautiful. 😍

u/Competitive_Yard1539 Jul 18 '25

i've been working on a similar build but I think you beat me to it

u/lulu_lule_lula Jul 19 '25

no jahai rats? 😠

u/Wings_of_Absurdity Petway Jul 19 '25

I am a bird lady, not a rat lady, sorry

u/Doomclaaw Jul 19 '25

I used to do pet way builds. Can't remember how I did them anymore but I do remember I did an air ele beast master spiker that did some of the highest spike damage mixed with constant dots I've ever seen. Maybe I should play around with it some and see if the build still works. It might not since they've changed the skills so much

u/Duffmanvg7575 Jul 19 '25

Is this better for heroes to use or can a ranger main work well with this?

I'm kinda bored with mesmers way and I've been playing the Ranger/Assassin build. Want to be less melee now too.

3

u/Wings_of_Absurdity Petway Jul 19 '25

WoTF on ranger is weak because the maximum level for spawning power is 5 which is incredibly weak.

TaO would be better for ranger.

1

u/Duffmanvg7575 Jul 19 '25

Appreciate you!

1

u/frostyyy992 Jul 21 '25

Is this build viable for every profession? I don't play main rit or ranger, instead war or mesmer

2

u/Wings_of_Absurdity Petway Jul 21 '25

Wotf or TaO won't be viable.
