Mage pets have always been better. Now, on live for a certain period of time, the lvl 49 necro pet was an absolute animal. This was almost completely attributed to the fact that it could be handed a fine steel dagger and a regular dagger, and it would hit for 55, but have a 19 and 20 delay respectively. Add haste to this and you have one of the most overpowered pets the game has ever seen.
I had a 50 necro on live and there used to be a trick where if you cast lull on your pet, and then camped out the pet would stay, you would no longer be the owner and he would be a regular NPC. I can recall a particular occasion where my fully buffed 49 pet killed 10-15 people in lguk before he was finally killed by a paladin with banish undead.
If the rules on this server allow pets to use the delay of weapons then yes, necro pets are superior at the highest level. That being said, once that was fixed, and especially when Kunark came out and the lvl 51 earth pet and the rest of the Vocerate line was given to mages, they eclipsed necro pets by leaps and bounds.
