I’m pretty sure the 58 sk pet doubles for a max of 47 and taps. Replace the MH with an argent defender or something and it will hit for 67 MH tops (47 offhand). Add a muzzle and it gets a bit better.
The issue with knights is without Avatar they are about 100 attack behind the other melee classes with their 225 attack weapon skills (SK has 215 piercing too). Avatar doesn’t turn them into a dps class but it closes the gap a lot, especially if that other class doesn’t have Avatar. I expect the baby pet would be closer to equal on lower level targets but those things hardly tickle Vindi.
I admit a Knight with a Tunare sword, avatar, and some AoB’s can parse very well. They just aren’t going to consistently beat dps classes with similar gear. They certainly will make bad monks and rogues look…well, bad.
Note: this assumes you have to pick one, to proc a primal on beads. In most situations if you can manage it, the pet is just extra dps. Not a ton, but it’s something. The less the gear the SK has, the more reason to use it. At least level 52+ when they aren’t horrid.
