I can tell you when my fire pet runs up against a yellow con, I don't have time to nuke it.. I am chain casting heal [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I would not agree with the "pets don't tank better" statement. I have been in plenty of high end groups where a Mage with pet had taken on a add by themselves and killed the add faster than the rest of the whole group did with the first mob. I know we are talking the Mage helping out with nukes and maybe a Clicky, but Mage pets are kick ass as hell.

And a Fire pet is by far the weaker of the 4 pets. I was in a group on my other lower mage in MM. Level 24 a few days ago. I ony had the level 20 Air pet not the 24, the pet I prefer to use in groups, and the group was all casters. So the pet tanked, Druid pulled. We were klling mobs in pond area and Valley left and right. Fast as hell. Couple people left and a Sk and a Warrior came in the group and our kill rate went to shit. I believe Mage Pets do Tank better. Just my experience.

And if they don't fix the "AC, Dodge, Evade, Parry, etc." before Velious comes out melee's are going to die left and right. Because Velious mobs hit hard as hell and have a shitpot more HP.
