In my rather short experience on blue, air pet for some reason is the weakest of all our pets. I haven't played long enough with MS I or MSII, I must have summoned each a couple of times but according to wiki regular focused pets are better than MS pets.

I'm not 53 yet, so I don't know about the 53 air pet vs 51 earth pet, but pre 50 the other 3 will be better. Only time I was not completely disappointed with air pet was when I was using the lvl 49 one vs Feeerrott spectres, it was faring about as well as fire/ earth pet. But HGs in Rathe Mountains kicked an air pet's butt in no time. Go figure

Are MS pets a stepping stone between unfocused / focused pets, or are they just fashion at all costs?

Since they cannot be focused by any item, they're more a nice toy to have silly pets (only time I used MS I when I hit 34 was to get a Reanimated Hand pet Unrest at basement camp) than a real upgrade


I think on live some MS used to be better than regular pets, but not on p99

A dead mob is even more active damage mitigation. I like air; he's fun. But generally suboptimal.

Strongest pet in-game pre-hate was level 49 water pet buffed with Staff of Elemental Mastery: Water. Max-level, focused with the staff hits for 58. Seems significantly more resilient than un-focused pets.

Now that the staffs for earth and fire are in, you'd have to check DPS parses.

Oh, and the strongest pet is a charmed level 51 rogue pet from hate [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Until the tank dies from a big pull. Then the low hp air pet dies, then group dies.

Or keep earth pet up. Tank dies and earth pet mops everything up and sabes the group.

Outside of raids earth pet is overall the superior pet

Pets in EQ, DAoC and AO are the strongest pets in MMO history by far.
