Water pets are the best DPS, but Earth pets can be invaluable with the huge HP's and rooting. Having a tanking earth pet can save you if you over nuke or someone over pulls. If your not worried about agro Water pets all the way to 60. All i ever used was earth, the 49th level earth pet is best soloing, even at 60th level I still use that soloing. Why? It only costs 200 mana, with foci can have up to 3500 hps. At 50th level you med back 200 mana a minute. The higher level pets cost twice as much mana to cast have fewer, almost half the hps in some cases. Plus Tash and earth pet root can be quite powerful in some zones. Water pets are lower end of hps, but they will out dps all the other pets, so best in groups.
Also, I still use 49th level earth pet because the Quest Foci do not work on pets above that level. So the 49th level pet w/ foci is better than the higher level earth pets without Foci. If you get any epic foci, then go with that of course. Till you do, 49th level earth pet is best. FYI- I do not believe monster summon can use foci, so they are garbage. If you dont know what mage foci is, Wiki it up son. | ||

I have always used Earth solo, except for a brief period of time in the early 40s when I used fire in Overthere. My suggestion is water for groups, earth for solo, and the rest are situational. After 50 Fire just doesn't have the health to compete with Earth and Water. Arguably neither does Air.

There's an argument for continuing to use the 49 pet instead of the 51, but the 57 pet is a huge upgrade. | |||

It's the Pet HP to Mana cost ratio. The 49 pet has the best HP to Mana ratio for all Magician pets. Also the Lesser Focus does not work on the 50+ pets and is far easier to obtain than the greater focuses. 49 Pet is the best when chain summoning.

Would be Marginal Differences in Mitigation. Not worth the extra mana cost.

Also the focused 59 air is about the same tank wise, if a little better, if you don't need root.
