Default Pet classes, how to tell if yopur pet is the right pet for you?

I may have missed it but have been reading the necro guides and cant find a definitive section or guide on determine if your blue pet, is the highest level blue pet you can conjure?

How does one go about this? Must you rely on dps?

Pet's max melee hit will tell you the level.

No you have to check its damage to determine its level.
But honestly I dont find resummonkng pets over and over is worth the time or mana.

A pets level means the difference between killing 20 creatures without it needing to rest or needing to rest after every creature at level 6 lol

Too bad those bone chips are so rare then too haha

Ok well, that is the news I was afraid of, thank you!!

For mages it is absolutely worth it in groups. The same is true for necromancers but you have to decide whether it’s worth the 2 chips.

If you’re keeping your pet for a while (groups), a max summon max level pet will put out significantly more damage over time. Max water hits 12% harder than min water at 60 and is 4 levels higher meaning it will more consistently land hits skewed to the higher end of its potential.

I always summon until max on my mage.

With EoT also costing a peridot I’ll settle for a max pet minus 1 level.

I think a tendency is for people to compare max hits, but the real issue is the level of the pet matters so much in landing hits. So I agree, get that max level pet.

Has anyone ever tried to parse min pet v. max pet in xp group kind of thing?

20-25% dps has been my experience.

Uh I am level 6 haha

level for necro pet will make a level 4 necro and a level 5 necro, once I am level 6 I cant tell which one it is, levle 4 or levle 5?! Is there a way?

https://wiki.project1999.com/Necroma...et_Information

after looking through this chart, I dont see how it could offer any help, it doesn't seem to distinguish between the max melee of a level X pet and a level X+ pet... I still dont get it! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Also would prefer if there was a way to determine by looking at it or conning it? Is that just nota t hing? you have to engage in a fight you cant win with a pet that is sub par, before you know your pet is sub par? This is how Ive done it for 20 years, but I was surely hoping there was a better way.

Example, look at Leering Corpse, the level 4 pet. It can be levels 3, 4 or 5. Max melee hit is listed as 8-12, meaning a level 3 pet will max for 8, level 4 for 10 and level 5 for 12. So you summon a pet and have it attack something and you can figure out what level the pet is by its max melee damage. It works the same for pets of all levels, the numbers just scale up.
