All class battle pet?

I realize that Im going to get a great deal of flak shot at me for this, undoubtably flamed to no end; however I would like to see an all class battle pet for all classes. I realize the Venomancer's are going to say No No NO! But again just hear me out on this, The Non pet class specific battle pets dont have to be spectacular like the Phoenix or the herc, they can be a generic pet for specific class types or races, that can be purchased from an NPC vendor or you are rewarded one upon completion of specific quests. This pet would have to be able to be summoned in 2 different forms, Air, and ground, or Dungeon and world, so that it can assist you in combat in either zone.

Example:

Humans: Tiny Chinese Dragon. I say a dragon because most of the human type skills are imaged in dragons of some sort or another (Heaven's flame for the Blademaster's and Black Ice Dragon Strike for wizards)

Winged Elves: Eagle/condor Being most of their skills are based around Eagles, condors and other winged birds it would only be logical that they would have some sort of hawk.

Barbarian ( I keep veno to its specific class because they need to have the most sway with pets): An "Untamed" barbarian's pet would be a tad harder to place, being as most venomancers hold sway over the pet populous. It could honestly be anything from a vicious vampire bat, to a European styled dragon similar to the drake, or even something like an imp or gargoyle.


What purpose would these serve for the other classes?

Aside from Minor damage increase outputs, and something else to spend a few extra coins on to feed, nothing. They would have the ability to do roughly half the damage that a basic pet (wolf, scorpion) would do, would allow the other classes the ability to pull as a venomancer can so we dont have to bum-rush hordes of mobs to kill only one, and would allow for more flexability per class that is seemingly missing.

But the Genie's do exactly what you've mentioned...

Not really, Genies have limitations, they affect you personally or your target with a skill that uses built up energy your genie has accumulated. What Im referring to is a pet that can help damage deal for you, or take damage. One that you would have to heal, using either some type of potion or skill.

This keeps venomancers from doing their jobs in a party...

Sorry, but to be honest, that job was taken by the Zeal Genie and earthenflame. Now a barb can do what you do with 1/3rd the risk to himself because he has three times your hp. A venomancer's job in a party is like anyone elses, Support the cleric, support the tank.

This suggestion would heavily nerf Venomancers!

Not really when you think of what Im suggesting. Im suggesting a pet class that is Generic. A creature summoned by the other classes that does Minute damage compared to the immaculate damage increases of any pet the Venomancers could summon. like say if a veno's pet damage is 1500-3000. Im saying the Generic battle pet class of the same level would do 750-1200 damage. Much less damage than the Veno's pet could fire off at equal level.

I bring this up because there is a trend in other perfectworld games as in all classes get battle pets, even if there is a specific "pet class." I believe by implementing something like this would help those who wish to solo most of their quests, as a squishier class, or just want a companion while questing that they dont really have to worry about it losing exp if it dies.
