Is there any point to water pet pre 50?
 

Earth is the tank/rooter, fire seems to be the agreed upon best choice for it's DS, and air is good for fighting caster mobs with it's stun.

What's water's thing?

Water is highest dps

Also poison immune IIRC

Water pets best pets

I believe most magicians use water pets when soloing

All of the magician's pets fill a certain role. They are the extension of his powers that he does not personally get himself. Learn to manipulate these roles properly and you will unlock the mages true potential.

In case this wasn't already made clear ^^

The best part is that no one explains or gives real proof.
