Pretty sure the mage pet is the top listed. Never rolled a mage though, since I don't play for pets in eq. Left out Drui pet btw, charmed pets at least. However, building my 4th Drui now and still no plans to use pet charms even, if they even work right. Although have an Enc on GC and used the pet a number of times, but can't make first hand comparisons to other classes apart form being better than Druid pets, but then not the only thing on the spell list to assist heh.

I think the guy who said

1 - Mage
2 - Necro
3 - Shaman?
4 - Enchanter
5 - Shadowknight

seemed to have it right, i as well however am unsure of whether the shaman pet is superior to the enchanter's. Any experts on the game have any insight?

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.

Enchanter pets are currently not dual wielding because of an exploitable mechanic involving giving them weapons I think. I bumped the original thread. Sorry don't have much details on it.

To summarize SK pet... Imagine yourself at late twenties, king of the world with your fine plate set, cleaning your way through Crushbone heading to Emperor tower. You establish camp there to get a quest item from ambassador. You make a pet to see how it cracks the whip you just looted off taskmaster. The pet goes on to chase a centurion to throne room. Tons of aggro messages. Pet dies. Tons of aggro. You desperately jump out the window into the river, can't find the ladder, and die in humiliation to the greenies.

The preceeding story is a product of complete and utter imagination.

1. Mage pet.
2. Necro pet.
3. Enc pet.
4. Shaman pet.
5. Warrior pet.
6. Variety of microbes.
7. SK pet.

The thread says according to pet abilities so I think the list would differ somewhat depending on the situation. Necros have rogue/monk and spectre pets that are granted some awesome abilities (lifetap, backstab, flying kick etc) whereas mage pets' abilities are stun/DS/root and whatever the hell it is that water does.

In terms of flat-out DPS though it would be very hard to top a necro rogue pet with 2 FS daggers and a feared mob.

Shammy pets get to DW with weapons, but that's it really. The puppies are lower level and don't have much HP. They make decent tanks if the mob is slowed, but if you're slowing you might as well just tank it yourself

Shaman pet cant tank for shit. Its pretty much just another DoT.
