Pets!! Love 'em and their boosts!

Only wish I'd read your post before buying my L32 Water Pet for my Priest. I now see the wisdom in raising the pet from scratch. Although as I imagine that would be a sloooooow and highly expensive process! whew! I've got 3 pets one for each class and they sink gold like quicksand.

I know this is a very basic point, and a fairly obvious one at that - which is probably why you didn't bother mentioning it. Match the Pet's element to your class, for best Assists.

So... Knights - Light, Mages - Fire, Priests - Water, Warrior - Earth, Scout - Wind and Rogues - Dark.

And also I think that pets aggro mobs you haven't hit or even targeted once they go 'active'. When grinding out in the new zones, after ganking a couple mobs that had me surrounded, I found my lvl 15 pet taking on a lvl 35 Barrow Food Plunderer all by his lonesome. Of course, by the time I got to him and killed the mob, my little pet was down to 16 Hp and poisoned. Died before I could heal him.

But it still was an epic sight!! LOL.. i have a 'Jonesy' which is basically a really tiny ferret and he was up against one of those Scorp like things that are easily twice my size!!

So yeah, despite the cons of loyalty, I'm still keeping mine as high as i possibly can. :-)

p.s. on the other hand.. u might consider a diff element pet... say for instance you are a Mage and would rather see your HP get a boost instead of your Int, which is way up in the stratos anyways... well. that's an option.. I can't comment on what's the best way to go about it however.

I have a water for my druid, because I focus more on healing than on damage dealing. I do like fire, though, for damage dealing druids.

Can't remember what I decided on for Warden. Earth doesn't give you the wisdom assist, I don't think... so I'd probably go with Light on that, but that's just me.

I don't really play a Warden much, but if it were me... I'd prefer the mana/mana regen as a tertiary assist.

The guide says that you have to be careful with loyalty because the loyal pet will attack mobs and so can aggro too many during the instance runs. Is that still the case? I have a loyal pet but he has not beeing doing that, so maybe it got changed/fixed.

Yes, the 100 apt pet gains half the growth number. So, his own int would grow by 3. That is not the assist he will give you, that is just his own number.

Just a point of clarity for me, when you say the pet's own value is not the assist if provides me. Do you mean a Holy and Wild pet would assist the same amount at a given level or is it based off of the actual pet values?
