Zurland wrote a semi-coherent email asking for an analysis of his boar build. He also mentions his desire to rule PVE and PVP. Although his build is a little off, we feel that he is on the right track.Boars are incredibly versatile. With the right skills, your boar will do well in PVE and PVP.
First, take Cobra Reflexes. The current "maths on the internets" confirms that the increased attack speed and lower attack power given by this skill will actually increase your total DPS. Remember, more attacks = more crits. The increased attack speed will also help you interrupt those pesky casters.
Second, drop those resistances. Here are the two "Resistance Rules" (to be used in conjunction).
- Only take resistances when you have points left over
- Only take resistances if you really need them for a particular encounter
Zurland's boar is currently lvl 48. I'm going to present my lvl 50 boar build as it gives us all the points we need to create our killing machine. We purposely omitted Avoidance in this lvl 50 build and we suggest that you take it at lvl 51 when enough points are available.
We can't say enough about this pet training calculator used to spec this build:

Passive skills:
- Great Stamina (Rank 7)
- Natural Armor (Rank 7)
- Cobra Reflexes (Rank 1)
- Growl (Rank 6)
- Charge (Rank 5)
- Gore (Rank 7)

I wrote up Wind Serpent build similar to your boar build. Since both WS and Boar only need two abilities that cost training points - Dive/LB and Charge/Gore - the same ideas can apply:

Basically, use your character talent build and your pet training point build to compensate for any weaknesses in either.
