Grim terror seems to be more of a healer than a mage

[latrocin]

<DIV> <DIV>I just got this pet and My wife was kind enough to buy me the master of it. I have to say she is very nice to solo with but seems to be weaker in the DPS than my last pet. When I look at her stats she has 202 INT and 545 wis so her heals are huge and she can take a yellow average with out any help from me.. Does anyone use this pet? I really like it but I talk to other necros who hate it and use the assassin pet for groups and solo..</DIV></DIV><p>Message Edited by latrocinor on <span class=date_text>08-14-2006</span> <span class=time_text>03:20 PM</span>

<DIV>it does AE DOT dmg, so mezzers hate it.</DIV> <DIV>it does AE big nukes, so single taunt players hate it.</DIV> <DIV>it doesnt have much hp, so necro in a weak aggro holding group hates it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>however, i duo with a guardian, loves it. uber dps, uber AOE dmg, uber heals.</DIV>

I've never had anyone have a problem with the Mage pet. They do add a nice healing effect, and the only time the AoE DoT matters is during raid vs grouped mobs... Otherwise who needs a chanter.And in those cases, its your fault if you don't hold your pet back until after mezzez have been done. (if you're doing mezzez for that particular mob.

<P>^^^</P> <P>Yeah I tend to agree I think the last time I have had anyone mezz a mob in group was for the carpet quest <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

You can have a mezzer mez and assist the tank and send the pet to attack that which the Tank has targeted. Even with the AoE the mez will not break. <BR>

Only if your mezzer has managed to mez them with single target mezzes.  If he used his group mez, you will break it with an AE.
