Necro Pet or Mage Pet?

VincentVolaju · #1 03-08-2013, 03:26 AM

Which class has the stronger pet? I know Mages got the diff kinds with different abilities like root, dmg shield etc. But in general when it comes to soloing, or even grouping as a Pet class, which pet generally puts out more DPS then the other?

Im gona give Mage or Necro a shot, so just trying to figure out which Id like better. Im assuming Necro focus's on dots, and Mage is more nukes, which means group wise, Mage would prob be taken before a Necro would, ya? But the opposite for soloing?

Also, High Elf for Mage, Iksar for Necro?

If the question is simply which is stronger? Mage by far.

With the pet nerf a Mage is not a fast leveling toon anymore solo. In reality they are a pain in the ass now. But true they get into groups a lot more than a necro. But if you are a Enchanter in a group you will hate Mage pets trust me.

A mage really has no Crowd Control for crap. So be prepared to Gate a lot. A necro gets Feign Death a real nice life saver. And a Iksar is the best for Necro because of the health regen with Litch line of spells.

This is super not true. All you have to do is reclaim your pet when the monster is fleeing and hit it with a low-level nuke. Still very fast.

Casting a new pet for each mob fought? Christ, I'd rather find a group/duo [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That's an entirely different ball game, but one of the main reasons necro > mage.
