I personally like Colton better for sorcerer. Colton gives u best overall damage and crit buff last 6 secs (2 lighting shots) and buffs team crit. I know some who have tried using ribbit and it doesn't work out well for them because your are missing out on 12 extra DMG from extra Int and 10% DMG increase. The sacrifices u make to get you're one light crit isn't worth it.

Colton !!

I suggest you get both, see which one matches your play style more

shorter and stronger crit vs longer and weaker
hp buff vs int buff
crit vs dmg buff
you vs group buff
cheap vs expensive

Some players will choose colton and some will go with ribbit, but it is really up to you in the end. Whichever you're more successful with

I think Colton is better, but you have to keep in mind that the aoe of Colton's arcane crit buff
is extremely small and you will almost never be in range to receive the buff if you fighting your
enemy at range. The aoe of ribbit's arcane crit buff is much much larger. Nevertheless, I think
the passive int and damage buff of Colton will help you much more than crit from either of the
pets.

I know Colton's is better, but bad range, and I will most of the time be attacking from a range, while Colton is up close. Ribbits crit is weaker, but his range is high.

Than keep colton close to you wen attacking

**Cero** · 02-19-2013, 09:37 PM

colton.
even though it gives out 15% crit the overall dmg is with lightning is up to 1k/+.
ribbit
700+ overall dmg.

(this is in my own experience.)

How can Colton be close to me when he's off attacking?

**gundamsone** · 02-19-2013, 09:43 PM

Personally i'd go horton
Pet with the highest base dodge bonus and the spec gives you 15 int.

Nvm go with colton it's the best

**Caiahar** · 02-19-2013, 09:47 PM

People seem to say Colton is the best. I would agree myself, but what's the use of having crit when you can't use it? But ribbits is weaker, but ill be able to use it even at long range.

I have both and prefer one for PvE, the other for PvP...

- On my Mage -

PvE: Colton... Nice crits, nice dmg, great for runs.

PvP: Ribbit.... +25str (more hp, helps my toon live longer). Huge crits for 4s. Yeah small window but when used with the right build and at the right time,HUUUUUUUUGE dmg boost.

-On my Twink Tank & capped Rogue -

Plan on getting Ribbit or maybe even Colton on twink & might also get Colton on Rogue; both for the high crits, additional hp and/or additional INT.

Don't forget about the passive attacks of these pets. Ask any warrior who has tried to
run down/solo a sorcerer with Colton and I am sure that they will tell you that the stun
of Colton is very effective.

My Colton must hate me then cuz when I tried it in PvP the damn thing wouldn't stun my opponents and I get killed faster lol.

Colton is also super expensive and/or takes a minimum of 40 days to get with story tokens, so there's definitely a trade-off there.

Question

Colton is bought with story tokens

When u collect story coins, are story coins collected together on one account or say u collect 2 tokens on ur warrior will u have 2 in your rogues sachel?

Story tokens are not shared among your toons, assuming you have all 3 classes. Each class will get the tokens they each earn, no accumulation and currently, it cannot be stashed.
