Which hatchling should i get for my blade dancer? Cant decide whether a wind or star would compliment me best, largely becuase im not sure how effective my agro management skillz are going to be.
pickin the little bastard up at 35 and am gonna try and level with it (expensive i know but my guilds gonna hook me up).
I'd say wind... if it is going to lvl the same time you do, you will prolly be hexing first then attacking... there is no way it should pull agro... you might have to go without ss, so it has time to do enough dmg... plus the wind will use the dances you are dancing, but the star would not.
I'm not disagreeing with HIeverybody, but I will point out that your only way to heal a Wind would be to give it potions to chug, while a Star can self-heal.
I personally would go with Star for fighters with no ability to heal others, and Wind for anyone with any healing ability whatsoever.

I disagree. As a Lvl76 BD (almost Spectral Dancer *big grin*) I didn't have a choice. NCsoft made it for me when they changed my star, LordVaako, from a tank to a mage. :)
I recommend a Star for you because of the following:
- You will kill too fast as a BD for a Wind to really get any licks in. I'm assuming here that you plan to fight the mob as well.
- While you're beating the life out of the mob your Star will nuke with Bright Burst. Nice assist there with BSPS. :)
- A Star can still FIGHT for God's sake. :) Why do folks think this isn't so? It will use BD and SWS dances/songs.
- The Star can self heal. If agro slips to it, hit STOP command on him, reestablish agro and while you distract mob, have it self heal.
Basically think of it like this: A BD is a support fighter. A Wind is a support fighter. NEITHER are real tanks (I don't care what folks say). A Wind won't hurt you, but I think you can benefit from a Star, too.
