Uummm... yes fire pet. When you solo you have to out Dmg your pet to get the expierence. My mage is lvl25 and the fire pet has a Dmg shield of 25! If the mob double attacks and kicks, that is 75 FREE dmg.

What do I mean by free damage? It is universal damage, which means it does not count as dmg done by the player or the pet. So when the mob is about half dead just one nuke will out damage all your pets Melle

If you use a different pet they will do more damage. It is harder to out damage them.

Fire pet super overpowered

Get 2 mobs on your fire pet and watch it drop like a fly or you scrabbling to save it's life with your heal spell (Waste of mana).

Best pet to solo with at lower levels like 25 is Water. Throw a DS on it, send it in, when the mob is around 80%, cast 2 DDs (most powerful you have). Sit back down and let the pet/DS do the rest. BAM! Full xp.

While you are medding, have your pet sit, around the same time you get 100% mana, your pet will already be full health.

Much better than taking a risk with a low health fire pet that doesn't really turn in to a dps pet until 29 (top level pet summoned at 29).

It's just an opinion. I've had this argument several times.

Personal example for you all:

I'm level 37 right now. I roll with my Earth pet and usually summon over and over until I get the top level pet.

- In FV I pull a mob (pirate or drovarg) with a level one fire blast.

- My pet already has weapons, DS (15 dmg current) and BO2.

- Sick pet.

- Mob hits 80%, I cast 2 cinder bolts.

- I sit down and watch the pet/DS do the rest of the dmg. (I am around 80% mana)

- Sometimes the pet takes 10% dmg, sometimes 30%, either way have it sit as soon as the XP message pops up and when I am FM the pet is Full Health.

Fire pet DS is amazing, but the pet takes A LOT more dmg compared to Water or Earth and I find that my pulling is not fluid at all. I am spending more mana sometimes to make sure the pet stays alive (even with 1 mob). ***Fire pet DS is 30dmg, my casted DS is 15***

I have ALL focus items and use them when summoning my pets.

Theoretically the level 34 Earth pet has 1380 HP and Fire has 690 (with focus item). When a mob is smashing your pet for 70+ dmg a hit and double attacking you'll notice a difference.

And lastly, remember, a Mage is nothing without it's pet. NO CC, NO ROOT.....you better have Jboots or SoW.
