if you follow it up with a GM eval bless buff the beetle will be up to 785 str nearly a 3-6ish% damage increase in most cases(depending on if you stack the two,if the pets starting base str is higher, and your eval lvl). It increases the beetles str to 711 just alittle over shy of what most pets have. and that's feeding the beetle a tasty treat(last 20 mins). Then there is one of my favorite ways which is good for short fights or the last bit of EM events. its a soild damage increase to normal melee damage as well as armor ignore,Fww, and many other melee classics.If you run with a bard using their mastery songs is also a nice boon. depending on the amount of eval this increases the str to at least 752 if the eval is at least GM and abit more at higher lvls. sadly its due to the starting 500 int they spawn with.One tip I always give my guildies and most friends that run eval in their spec is to bless your pet and then yourself(you bless yourself so you have a timer of the bless to redo it on your pet).
Good evening, Turkish, There are a few temp solutions to getting around the 678 str cap of the beetle.
