I'm very Skeptical of that. I would need to see an extensive parse of the 49 Earth Pet compared to the 51 and 57 Earth pets to believe that the Difference is anything other than very small. I would think 20 points of correlation across several level ranges. I would do it myself, but I just don't care enough and don't really play anymore. Even then I'm not sure it would be worth 2x the mana cost for the higher pet.

It's 150% the mana cost not 200%. Additionally level up a melee class fight a level 41 mob when you're level 41, once you hit level 45 go back and fight the same level 41 mob, let me know if you're at least 50% more efficient (spoiler it'll be far more than that).

This isn't even taking into account the level 51 and 57 Earth pet have a root that actually does damage and they love to spam it. (Pre 50 Earth pet root doesn't do damage).

Anytime I see a mage holding a shovel post 51 and is doing anything but chain casting I cringe because they've simply read something in some guide or YouTube video and can't think or test for themselves
