Rank all pets granted via abilities

[Safon]

Im curious how the mage, shadowknight, shaman, enchanter and necromancer pets stack up in comparison. Not including charmed mobs.

[pickled_heretic]

I have my own opinions but I feel as though it is best we just get raw data to tell us the answer.

[Qaedain]

1. Mage
2. Necro
3. Shaman?
4. Enchanter
5. SK

I believe that's right. I'm sketchy on the Shaman's spot, but the rest I'm pretty confident on.

From my level 15 point of view, it seems that the enchanter animation has a ton of hit points or high Defense...they seem to last a really long time in combat...much more so that on live.

I'd rate enchanter animations pretty high. In a soloing environment they are very strong, with good durability and damage once you get the dual wielders.

If you can't control them with your pet controls box (which in classic you can't because you only have Pet Go Away), enchanter animations are pretty disappointing. No /pet attack is pretty damn awful.

The fact that you can't control them makes them worse than useless in groups, but not nearly so when you're soloing.

I'm working on an enchanter alt right now and I don't have confidence in charm, so I'm busting out Jebartik whenever I am alone or in a duo situation.

It's a tie between Laser and Goner imo.

In a decent group you just tell the team mates to assist the pet an root/mez adds.

Otherwise just treat the enchanter pet as a really dumb team-mate that attacks what he wants and breaks mezzes sometimes and doesn't go afk at the worst time. He does comparable damage to any mage pet its level (sans the damage shield) and adds dps about as good as a decently geared melee. Its not really that far off from a real teammate (except the going afk at the worst time part [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] )
