Red Pixie Pet skill problems

1. Should I get clarity, or bless of the soul, or both?
2. Should I get Genius Unit and reap the +10% mp? My pixie pretty much never dies or gets hit
3. reserved space for future questions

This is off-topic. I'd suggest asking this in the pet forum. Make sure you mention that you are skilling for use on an archer.

Who? Me? Having not gotten a harpy, I usually use a siren unless I am leveling other pets for my alts. I am leveling a red pixie on my battle summoner to try that, but one observation I have is that it's skill cooldowns are a bottleneck when I farm on the battle summoner, so I will need to think about how I want to integrate the rp skills in my hot bar. My other problem with the red pixie is that, as many others have commented, luna chips are expensive. And if I am not using luna chips, the red pixie skill damage isn't all that useful. Ultimately, I'd like to get a harpy.

I have both 90+10 orc and yeti for belt, I'm debating which I'm going to use for archer and which for champ. Since champ is balanced between STR and VIT, orc will maximize its potential on champ. Archer is not a good tanker but it gets a lot of aggro in parties, therefore using belt yeti will make the healer's life easier. So which belt pet is better for archer in the long run?

If you are in lots of DPs as a puller, I'd put the yeti on. As a puller, you are not really trying to maximize your damage, you are just trying to get mobs to the party so that they can be killed efficiently.

I'd use the orc if you field farm a lot (or even dungeon solo.) Since the level 90 belt stat is 5% to PAtk, you will see a significant increase in damage output for field farming (or even soloing) as well as a decent amount of PDef (the other 5%).

Note that I say this based on my experiences from R1-R4. While I suspect this is true for R5, I suspect that at R6 and above, the Orc is better for DPs as well.
