Necromancer Pets vs. Conjurer Pets

[Phlogiston90]

Which one of the two classes Conjurer or Necromancer has pets better suited for tanking.  Which one can hold aggro better, and still take a beating?  Also, do necromancers have the ability to heal their pets very well, or does that solely belong to conjurers?<div></div>

<P>Ask next month... its all changing very rapidly ATM.</P> <P> </P>

Conjurer's are better at straight up solo pet tanking atm.   Pets are the same I think just different spell lineup  ie, better heals etc.  How it that issue goes after revamp is awaited.  Not bothered if I must fight differently as long as I can.  <div></div>

<DIV>Yeah even at a level lower than mine, both at adept 3, the conjurer pet one level lower seems to take less damage over all, or as the one poster above said, they conjurers get better large direct heals than we get so that probably helps alot when the mobs dishes out some chunks of damage.</DIV>

<DIV>Necros are getting a big upgrade in lifetaps and a new HP transfer (can heal group member or pet).  necros also have a pet Heal over Time spell that costs HP/MP i think.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Can't make any good choice untill after combat changes are in effect (should be 9/12/05)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ragefighter - 50 Inquisitor - Permafrost</DIV> <DIV>Zeayu - 41 Necromancer - Permafrost</DIV>

Conjuror Pets are always going to own our pets when it comes to pet tanking, thats the way it has been, thats the way it is, and thats the way it always will be.

Aye, I'd be even after revamp, Conjurors' pets will be much better than ours...just like EQ1. If things go that way, we'll have more/equal DPS due to our personal dmg spells.  I think that's a good balance. <div></div>

I don't think we'll see a return to the eq1 necro/mage comparison.  Conjurer's will possibly be able to buff/heal their pets better but I would be very suprised to see eq1 ways creep in since we are both summoners.   I often never even bothered using a pet back in EQ. <div></div>
