Shadowy Stalker or Grim Thulian Masters

[Tubble]

<div>Hey I have a Shadowy Stalker master 1 and a Grim Thulian Master 1 but now my bro and i are fighting over it. We duo our necros and hes getting a rotting thrall master 1 so hes main tank pet and im a damage dealer and he bought the spell so hes really wanting it. This leading to my main question, how much better is the shadowy stalker at dealing damage to single targets than the grim thulian?</div>

<div></div>lots, and its safer too because it doesnt aoe.lots = maybe 1.5 x the dps

<font size="2">I believe it is because our pet buffs have little effect on the spellcaster line, whereas the pet buffs have a much greater effect on the assassin line of pets.</font><div></div>

I just posted a thread near this a few days ago;I just upgraded both to adept3...To me, the thulian is about 10 times better =(;  With him and you, you can easy take down groups.  *pull with blight, send him, then aoe your heal and your draw life* and they are usually dead.  This guy got a new HoT/DoT spell with his direct damage heal, and if you use the offensive stance he also heals himself extra quite a bit.  He usually lasts twice as long tanking (over the shadow stalker.The poor assassin only fairs well against single targets =( and has trouble tanking them a lot of the time, i find myself fearing a lot when I need him for single target quests.  With any multiple mob encounters it works almost the same as the warlock pet (with you tanking) but takes a bit longer<div></div>
