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.

At least you can use your pet for pulling in combination with feign death. Thanks to ye old crappy pathing, there's more than one place that you can use this at to make monsters warp to you .. with some luck.

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

All pets are warriors until kunark. Kunark mage pets water is a rogue, air is monk, fire is wizard, and earth is still a warrior.

Believe this is incorrect, mage water pet is a rogue in kunark as well and is pretty crazy DPS with BS.

/agree, my Shammy on live could never rely on a pet (up to mid-50s before I quit) and I basically treated it like a DoT, let it gnaw on the mobs ankle while I meleed, or it'd be gone pretty quick. It did enough damage to finish off mobs as they ran so I could med up for the next pop.
