[GI] Need help on building the PET for PVP

All you see nowadays are venoms with full spartans shooting 70k average with whites. Now, with the prometheus laser bonus damage every 5 seconds, they can do RSB damage with whites. I'm used to it now in PVP and I've been using my pet since it does 15k average with whites and 20k average with RSB full LF4 magmas. But the problem is, the UFE just shoots the pet and it gets one shotted. My pet has the starting 50k hp and 20k shield strength. I use kamikaze but it has a that 25 second cooldown and my pet gets one shotted every time i repair it. The only things I bought for my pet was lasers, AI protocols and gear.

I was thinking of buying generator slots and HP for the pet but it's this expensive.

Total cost for HP Cap Pet: 775,000 uridium for 250,000 HP
Total cost to unlock 20 shield generator slot for PET: 158,000 uridium for 20 generators

My pet would have 250k HP and around 220k shields counting the shield bonus provided by PET for a total cost of 933,000 uridium.

So if I want my pet to help me in pvp and not get one shotted, is it worth investing in the stats or should I just buy the PET Combo Guard Mode 3? It cost 55k uridium for the level 3 gear and it gives a miss chance for enemies of 85% if they shoot at my pet.

Also, does it use 35% fuel for every instance of damage? Including rockets, rocket launcher and laser? Bc if every instance of damage it blocks triggers the 35% fuel consumption than that's a lot of fuel going to be used up.

what would you guys do if you're building the PET specifically for pvp?

 

For PVP you should definitely just be using kami and guard mode, don't worry about your P.E.T.'s HP i keep my P.E.T.'s HP at below 5,000 just so i can constantly kami. Generator slots are good for the P.E.T. as you can throw level 16 bo2s on it and if you are low shields you can sab your own P.E.T. and get your shields back. Anyways even if your P.E.T. had full hp and shields people hit hard enough it would still die in 2 shots, so not worth upgrading its HP

 

This is where I need to start ... since your pet is lvl 20 open All slots .... for shields and lasers. I would next need
Kami 3
Hit point protocol X lvl 3 45k uri
Targeting protocol X lvl 3 25k uri
Laser Gun protocol 3 lvl 3 45k uri
shield protocol X lvl3 45k uri
P.E.T. Hull Combat Grade 5k uri
Combo Guard Mode Gear lvl3 55k uri
Fuel protocol X lvl3 45k uri

next all your BO2's on the pet need to be lvl 16 then I need to equip my ship with with the targeting/AIM02 cpu ... I'm not sure if the protocols will enhance the pet if stacked because you will be using Zeno .. then add ship type + double boosted damage , shields and HP . Depending on how long you want use your pet in a fight. I forgot rocket type ammo

 

Just use the combo guard gear.

When farming npc or doing gates you can unequip it to save fuel costs but as pvp is expensive anyway, you will barely notice the increased fuel consumption.

Pet will swell just use +35% fuel no matter if it gets shot at, if if shoots etc. Just being on the map it uses a little bit more with this gear.

(As last point I would add that combo guard mode enables you do do special tactics in pvp more effectively.

You can shoot your pet with sab-50 to regain your ship's shields and you can run from enemys/"kite" them with letting your pet shoot them without getting hit yourself...

All of this works much more better when your pet doesn't die so fastly because of combo guard mode.)

 

I personally 'run away' and kite people with my PET. This works especially well if enemies use wheel to try and catch me, their shields run out and my PET just wrecks their HP. And if they switch lock to my PET, I just turn around and finish them off, easy kills.
