how do you figure out which is stronger (pet)

Damage = DPS

No.

The "Damage" stat is actually the "Accuracy" stat mislabelled. If you hover your cursor over the portrait of your pet while it is summoned, it is listed properly as Accuracy.

As for "stronger", I'm assuming you mean damage, although you can also say "strong defence".

A simplification of the matter would be to look at its Attack, attack growth, and attacks per second.

The reality is much more complex when skills are considered, particularly as slow-attacking pets typically gain more benefit from skills than more their more quick-attacking counterparts. You also need to remember to Accuracy, and also if their P/M.Def is so poor that it reduces your own DPS by requiring healing mid-fight, etc... etc...

That is an excellent point. I recently teamed up with a Veno around lvl 60 and she was using a scorpion (like the one you can get in the beginning.) She was saying she doesn't have a "tank" so the other veno's in the group were asked to heal this pet while it was attacking a boss. What would be the benefit of having or "strategy" in having a pet like that?

Also I didn't know you could heal other Veno's pets. I thought you could only heal your own. I learned something new that day.

The starting level scorpion has the second highest attack in the all game, after the phoenix, that is why it is a good pet as a DD for regular grinding or when there is another tank. I would not have wasted 2 venos healing one scorpion when you could have used a better tank, and free up the second veno to DD as well (unless the boss had a ? for level), but it all comes down to personal preference.

To put it short:
1 If you have money and time:
Land tank: Herc.
Air/ground pker and air tank Nix.(as in phoenix)
Water tank: the lvl 21 turtle around Archo.

2 If you lack the legendary pets prepare for a bigger roster:
Land physical tank: Blue golem Crystaline Magmite
Land magic tank: lvl 30 antelopes antelope pup
Land pker: lvl 3 scorpion (first pet) variscore scorpian
Air pker/tank: the sawfly petite sawfly
Water tank: lvl 21 turtle go for level 5 abysmal turtoise
??Water pk??: I heard lvl 35 undines (water girls south of Archo) are fast in water.(on a diff. version)idk, i never pvped in the water O.o

to get all this you need to do the storage quests with the 30hay and 50 fruit, and get a cage from the botique.

but the basic is

normal
-Land=Crystaline Magite
-Air= Petite Sawfly
-Water=Abysmal Turtoise
-Lure= anything fast or decent ranged like Eldgergoth Marksman that can take a few hits(tweakz)

and

special
-Land=Baby Hercules
-Air=Baby Blazing Pheonix
-Water= Celestial Plumpfish or ummm, Giant Sea turtoise?
-Lure= Knowlin or however you spell it.


The most pets you could really use is
land physical tank
land magic tank
land dps
air dps
air tank
water tank
lurer
ranged tank

Why the level 21 turtle? There's level 5 turtles by broken bridge.

I think the ones by Archo but I would say those are 19 as I got one.
