I know it's not classic, but...

I was never all that impressed with mob dps until they started hitting for above 100 each

They all swing pretty slow. People on forums would say enchanter animation is bad when compared to charmed mobs at any level above like 25. It never seemed all that true to me. Sure the animation hits for less but they hit significantly more often and faster, and this is before giving them two weapons and haste. But I dunno, I’ve never bothered to parse them or anything. But they swing much faster and seem to hit with better consistency. Charmed mobs miss A LOT

That being said, animation pet to me is terrible for leveling because you can’t control it, it’s extremely boring (just slow the mob and sit on your ass doing nothing), and is guaranteed to eat 50% exp unless you want to try to blur the mob, which wastes time and mana

But in terms of damage? I dunno, I think it’s closer or ahead all they up to around 45-50ish
