RNG aside and not knocking the epic of you have one (I wouldn’t turn it down), but getting a max pet just takes a couple extra minutes. Assuming you will use it since most raids the risk doesn’t outweigh the reward.
On those non-spell fights a mid tier focused water will parse as good. A 60 hitter will do more dps. Of course at the alternative of a Phinny looting rather than one circus of an epic with a nasty bottleneck.
For the casuals, show up early, burn some malachite and try hard with positioning. Use Velocity and Muzzle and reposition as needed. Out parse some players
