Yeah I kind of want to assume it would be useless on my Control Wizard too, and obviously a cleric would get extra healings but I'm not the kind of person to play a cleric,
Basically my thoughts are either Guardian Fighter or Great Weapon Fighter, but yeah, I really want to hear what others think,
What would the benefits of it be on a CW, I mean like, replacing the tanking pet with Lillend, is it really worth it?
Well, in theory, you can use CC to get around needing a tank and use Lillend for survivability and to reduce down time. But I haven't played a CW to a high level and I don't have Lillend on my CW, so I'm speculating.
Other than to heal, I don't know how good the damage boost is. A friend of mine got the lillend after spending a couple hundred dollars to get it, (I still think he's an idiot but what do I know.) Anyway the healing output isn't bad or anything but it dies really easily in heroics it seems, which is why if you want a good pet for a GWF or GF and you want to spend a lot of money you should just get the stone as it's arguably BIS. Granted it looks incredibly awesome, I guess the point of my post is just to say that if you're getting it to get a good pet, then save your money, if you're getting it because you like the aesthetics then by all means. As far as pets go though I still consider it mediocre at best.
(Looks fracking awesome though)

In farsight, I LOVE the way this companion looks, I am not anywhere near endgame right now, not really anywhere near it either, I imagine that when the time comes I could always summon the rock (I assume you were talking about the epic one purchased for Zen) when I get to late game, but in the levelling stages, would Lillend to a useful companion in comparison?

For soloing with a squishy, go with rocky. For grouping, Lillend is very nice.

Ok i suppose. I mean no matter what Lillend gets one shot in any epic dungeons.
They are neat i suppose for in between fight top offs.
Well, despite many people rooting for the AUGMENT pets (ioun stones and cat), i do agree they are awesome. Somehow, I did experience with them, and of course normal pets do serve as a wonderful aggro magnet or a decoy, earning the player precious seconds to throw some AoEs and dash out of the heat of a deadly battle. No matter how buffed you are from the ioun stone/cat, the many fists that land on your face (figuratively) still hurts. I am level 60 now, and i tried the Tomb Spider (awesome), Phoera (awesome), Iounstone/Cat (awesome) and Lillend (awesome). But most pets will died in mobs anyway, but the fact that they draw a potential lethal blow from you does count a great deal, isnt it?

That's a problem with a lot of companions, that's a big advantage of using an ioun stone or critty cat.
