Necro EoT is a warrior class pet with a 48dmg lifetap proc. Fear immunity. Says hits for 61 or 62 focused. In theory hp wise it should be on par with a 57 earth, maybe a bit less. No lifetap on the earth but the root does damage. It's a fair comparison durability wise; the mage pet is like 100p and not 12k.
Farming greens is totally different. With a mage you can fill up a backpack of malachite for 8p. Summon, burnout, DS, pull with like Burst of Flame and let the pet run through it. Rinse and repeat and resummon when the pet gets low health. In general necros keep the pet up and do more casting in general. I expect in practice on very weak stuff the two classes farm about the same with obvious benefit to the necro in anything relatively tough. The mage is pretty easy though. It's a beer in one hand mouse in the other way to play.
I usually use the 59 air pet. The stun locks down mobs a long time. Regardless you can get through about 10-12 goblins with a good summon before you have to do another. By then your mana is usually about full again.

During soloing, I would be curious on the damage the mobs take from the necro pet when the mob can't riposte or parry. I suspect damage taken is different too... unless we are talking straight face tanking.
