Does Bill get better?
#71941 - 08/01/08 08:58 AM

Hi all. i just got my Chill Bill and either I'm using him wrong, don't know how or the Turkey Leg is better. Mind you, I'm only level 30 and I saw that at like 34 or something, he gets a little meaner, but for right now am I doing something wrong? I summon him and he stands there until I start attacking stuff and then it seems like he only pulls one or two monsters off me where most of the time with the Turkey Leg, it's only like one or two left on me. I did find that unlike the bait, Ice Shards heal him, but it's not always easy to hit him with it. Should my focus be on preserving him, basically making myself into a healer?

Thanks in advance.

Well In most peoples Opinion Bill is really nothing more then a sidekick Unless your in a PVP match Bill does Great one on one with someone/thing but in mobs he tends to get confused.

Bait on the other had doesnt have this problem Its always going to do the same thing time and time again. Also Bait at full blast is only 2 slots.

Bill takes three slots and honestly you would need to use at least Snow globe and Nippy twigs to make him effective at all. Ice block is not bad if hes sitting in the middle of a group of mobs but that doesnt happen for me often.

So although I love Bill for many reasons I still find Bait to be the more effective of the two at least in the lvl 50ish range. Occaisonaly I will use both bill and bait and allthough it uses most my skill bar They work well todgether.

I think Bill is best used with fighters, personally. He doesn't wade into combat until you're in the thick of it, which is perfect for fighters, but not so great for mages or rangers.

Thanks all. I'm thinking that he's coming out of my bar and the turkey leg is going back in. Thanks again
