Tamer ?'s - Vet/Eval? Resist or no?

[Azural Kane]

I'm about finished with training Taming and I have a few questions on how might be best to finish out my tamer?

I'm wondering if I should go Wrestle/Resist/Eval, or Wrestle/Hiding/Vet?

I've not played a tamer here before so I'm wondering what is most effective in farming but also not losing pets all the time?

Thanks for any advice

I'd advise Wrestle/Resist/Vet, actually.

Hiding can be useful to make it difficult for PKs to get you (send your dragons on them, and when they run more than 8 tiles from you to avoid being killed, you can hide and get your bearings about what to do next). But really, items of invisibility are cheap these days and you'd be better off using that in such a situation since you can use them at any time (no need to be 8+ tiles from your attacker) and you can use them more frequently than every 10 seconds like Hiding skill.

Vet is necessary to kill Ancient Wyrms and Balrons, and who wouldn't want to kill them?! Ignore the aspect of bandages being cheaper than healing reagents though, since Vet costs about 50,000 bandages to GM. My biggest issue with healing dragons with Greater Heal is a really fast spawn can sap your mana, and I feel it's crucial to stay above 40 mana as a tamer so you can gate out at a moment's notice.
