Is the evolved Derjan worth the stars?

I'm confused and want some personal opinions, or advice if possible.

In old threads I read about the Derjan being the nix dungeon version, I don't have a nix but I understand he is pretty good as a PVE pet. Then the new pet system came and he can be evolved, and I stole his unique skill description from other post:

Bone Sickle

Channeling: 0.4
Cast: 0.6
Cooldown: 15 sec

Deals 200% attack power single physical damage to targets,
deals extra 150% power on monsters.

Deals large amount of damage to enemies pets


Well, I finally got my Derjan and his phys attack is 2788, my none-evolved magmite is also 101 and his phys attack is 3973 so my magmite is a better dd? I didn't expect that. Both pets have the exact same 3292 HP, with the hatching having much more magic defense and better numbers in the other stats.

If you have an evolved Derjan, do you think his exclusive skill is good enough to justify evolving him?

Thanks

    Ummm that's impossible ... The hatching's phys attack is 4.4k per second. After evolution, it get lots more attack as well. Golems can't even compare, I have both an evolved walker and the dino. The difference is in not only the dino having higher attack, but also he is the only non-legendary pet to have 1 aps , unlike golems, with 0.6/s.

    What Deffy said. The Hatchling's attack is 4.4k default at lvl101 and once evolved it gains more from your gear. Its exclusive skill is pretty strong too in PvE.

    I personally don't use it as much since I have a Harpy which has better overall DD (partially due to AOE skill) but I use it as a debuff pet with good DPS when I need it. If I didn't have the Harpy, the evolved Hatchling would definitely be my main DD pet.

    There are other alternatives but if you have a Hatchling I recommend evolving it.

    You could see why I'm confused. I wish I could post a pic of his stats.

    I don't think the attack I see is because of my crappy gear and weapon as he's not an evolved pet, it may be because his skills are not maxed? or because he's hungry?

    Well, I'm going to get some hay for him and, even if it's a pity that he's going to lose that cuteness, I'm evolving him.

    Thanks a lot! b:thanks

    Oh, it's because he's hungry! Feed it to max and the full attack will be normal. If pets are hungry, their attack suffers a penalty.
    Also, if you have a hard time finding hay, perfect cookies from the boutique agent are easier to get and fill him up much faster.

    Pre-lycaeum my goal was to get a derjan and deck him out with atk, pdef, mdef, and bramble base books. It'd cost 128m to do that, but the stats you'd get would have made him obscenely powerful for an unevolved veno pet. Post-evolution I'm not sure I'll do that anymore, but he's definitely worth evolving. He's a powerhouse.

    I evolved my Derjan and I have to admit he looks sooo cool! b:pleased

    His mood is Strict with a hollow star.

    I'm surprised how the evolved pets stats change: while stowed, my Derjan's attack is 4128, when I summons him, it's 4766.

    Thanks all for your comments. b:thanks

    Wow, venos books are uberly expensive in your server. b:shocked

    To the op:

    Just evolve your pet, it has to improve.

    Those are faction base pet scrolls. Locked price, no way to make it cheaper. They cost 32m coin and 24k contribution each, but they're stronger than the normal version of each at max level. All five are one-hour selfbuffs. They're also tradelocked and stashlocked, so you have to earn them on the character you want them on.

    There are five total, as follows:
    Max HP +35%
    Attack +35%
    Phys Def +180%
    Mag Def +180%
    Bramble 80%
