TemplatesTamer
Summary
See a showcase of tested, viable Progression Paths for the Tamer Archetype. General Informations:
- Tamer is a Jack of All Trades and a very popular Archetype choice
- Beginner friendly
- Strong Midgame
- Pets lack survivability in current Endgame
- The downside of the popularity is that the Items needed for Command Aspect and the Skill Scrolls to get above 100 Taming/Lore are extraordinarily expensive
- Make sure to consider that when deciding to go deep into the Taming Business
