46 scout pet at M1 vs 60 scout pet ad Adept 3

[josie67]

<DIV>I have been using the level 46 Master 1 Assassin pet  for 5 levels now, and I am AMAZED at the DPS he puts out.  Now as I march to level 60,  the question is this:  Which of the pets has better DPS?   The level 46 assassin pet at Master 1, or the level 60 Assassin pet at Adept 3?</DIV>

<P>I dont have my lvl 60 yet (only 56) but I think you'll find anyone who can compare the two will tell you that the 14lvl difference between the two is more than enough to see a sizeable difference in dmg output (the adept III being higher).</P> <P>I'm not fortunate enough to have any M1 spells, but I'm guessing that M1 has an additional attack that the adept III doesn't, that would be the only diff.</P>

<DIV>AD3 level 60 pet.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>When I was level 58/59ish I was raiding the gx4 content in Silent City. There are two necros in my guild. I was using the m1 lvl 46 pet and my guildy was using the ad3 lvl 60 pet. Her pet seemed to do ~ 15 - 20% more dps then mine, or about 50 more dps.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Most of the mobs we were fighting were 58 - 63ish, so that may have had a big impact on the dps. ( 46 pet stops leveling at 59 and 1 level can make a big difference sometimes )</DIV>

I'v done quite a bit of parsing on this.  On group mobs or mobs that are under 60, the master I 46 pet does more dps.  On raid mobs or mobs above level 60, the 60 adept III does more dps.  Overall the 46 pet does more damage with his arts and attacks but he has a really hard time hitting mobs a few levels higher than him.  So on a raid use the 60 pet, dueling or grouping use the master 46 pet.
