I know there's the chance that I'll get flamed for asking questions that should be obvious, but I haven't played since before Pankration came out and I would really like to try it. I read a lot of the threads around here but there a still a few things I'm uncertain on.
1. The ability listed on the plate isn't necessarily the same as the innate?
2. Is there any difference between different monsters of the same family? (Besides appearance)
3. Does monster type really make a huge difference in how well a beast performs?
4. How well do buffalo fare? Chigoes (I hear a lot of talk about them)? Wyverns? Apkallu (also hear a lot of talk about them)? Wamoura?
5. I hear about people using defensive feral abilities a lot - what tends to do better, a pure defensive monster, pure offensive, or a balance of both?
6. Is there anywhere I can look that shows max FP of all monster types?
7. You don't get aggro from snapshotting a monster, correct?
Sorry for the dumb questions >.< it was just stuff I didn't really see or wasn't certain about while reading. Also, I'm looking at wiki as we speak. Thanks in advance for answers and I'll probably ask more later.
