Rank that Pet

For "Best pet" topic... It states the reason why one pet is better than another

But why not... my list (if you aren't going for herc/nix)

Land:
1. Glacial Walker or Magmite (as your tank pet)
2. Scorpion (get the one starting lvl2 as then he will have the highest attack. More or less for pk and dd)
3. Elder Marksman or any Cactapod (good for luring)
4. Kowlin or Tabby Plumdrop (cause they are cats, good as secondary pulling pets cause of speed)
5. Antelope pup (if you want a magic tank)

Air:
1. Petite Sawfly (air pet for pk. Nice substitude to nix)
2. Foxwing (preferably lvl34 one, nice pve air pet)
3. Windwalking piggy (pretty good air "tank")

Water:
1. Plumpfish (any of them, starts at lvl80)
2. Any closes tamable water mob you can tame to finish quest
3. -

Land

1. Glacial Walker -- super slow, but really the only thing that can take a hit in most dungeons, especially with exploding mobs.
2. Seamonster Guardian/Dark Wanderer/Scorpion -- Guardian has good mdef, while DW has better pdef and can serve as a secondary tank. The scorpion is good as well, if not a bit squishy. All are great for DDing.
3. Eldergoth Marksman/Sharpshooter--ranged pet.
4. Kowlin -- Good for luring...and it's cute ;D.
5. Ninetailed Firefox -- probably useless in combat, but epically adorable.

Air
1. Cloud Skatefish -- just couldn't get used to a wasp following me around, and it's nearly equivalent statwise to the Sawfly.
2. Petite Sawfly
3. Windwalking Piggy -- as the posters before me said, it's the only true air tank.

Water
1. The level 5 turtle (can't remember the name) is the best water pet, period. But I certainly don't have the patience to keep it leveled, given the disparity of water mobs and quests, so I tend to just catch as I need water pets.
2. Not high enough level to catch one, but from what I've read on forums, the plumpfish is the second best.
3. Every other water pet sucks. Don't even get me started on the mermaids.

Land:
1. Glacial walker
2. Armored bear
3. Scorpion w bleed
4. Kowlin - fast
5.

Air:
1. Petite Saw Fly w flash ream + claw
2. Desert Waspkin - its nice, cuz look like sawfly just blue colour.
3. windwalking piggy - it have much hp/def..but damn low dg..hard to lvl

Land:
1. Snow Hare
2. Kowlin
3. Celestial Sting/Ethereal Inamorato (lures)
4. Shaodu Cub

The others are aesthetically pleasing. Some of the pets in my bag are there for just that - looking good.

1. It was my second tank pet after the magmite. I liked it better because I could see more with it and by L40 I was able to solo tank FB19 - slow going though.
2. It's downright sexy. I got it for it's looks and because I heard it had better damage. My friends and I started calling it a four-legged BM. It's great on damage but it goes squish really fast. It would make a pretty good land PK pet.
3. I got one of those from FB89 Eden just for luring. Not useful for much else. I use them as weak DDs though.
4. It's cute, especially when it runs. It tanks pretty well but it's damage is low.

Air:
1. Windwalking piggy
2. White Pheasant
3. A friend

I dispise bug pets.

1. I never did get mine very high. I was in my 70s or 80s when I got my hands on one. Didn't want to spend time leveling it up so I only kept it for looks. It's like the Shaodu Cub, but for the air.
2. It was a "necessary" air pet.

Water:
1. Plumpfish
2. A friend You don't have to feed them!

1. "Necessary" pet.

In the case of water or air quests you've an awful pet, tag a friend to come help with the quest. It'll go much faster then. If you're in a faction that goes along much more easily. But if you've got some really good friends, they won't mind hanging out with you or giving you a hand.

The top five land pets, for a mid-life venomancer:

1. The baby Hercules. It costs $180. It's still just about worth it. Practically immortal, fairly hard hitting.

2. The glacial walker. It's big, it's tough and it hits fairly hard. It's slow is its only real down-side. Other golems exist, the glacial is the best, but only just.

3. Your very first starter scorpion. You'd be surprised how hard that thing hits, later on - and it's not completely terrible at surviving.

4. The Eldergolth. Big monkey. Advantage? Flings poo - ranged attack. Disadvantage? It's not that tough, though it gets better later in life.

5. Special mention to the rabbits - they come with shriek and that's a really interesting skill to try and use.

(In the rare pets - the shadau cub comes with pounce, which is better.)


In the air:
1. The baby blazing phoenix. By about a million points in speed, power, survivability and looks. Again, costs $180, and probably NOT worth it, but undisputably the best air pet in the game.
2. The sawfly. It wants to think it's a 'nix. It hits pretty damn hard, flies fast, but isn't tough at all.
3. Elysium Fowl. The other half of the equation - it doesn't hit that fast, but it's pretty tough and looks cool.
(In the rares - the flying piggy is tougher, but looks dumber.)

In the water:

There ARE only three types of water pets. The turtle, the mermaids and the plumpfish.

The turtle is toughest, the mermaid deals out decent damage - the plumpfish is high level. Few venomancers bother keeping a permanent water pet, and tame whatever is nearby when they need one.

all are fogeting this: i got a armored fish as a water pet (good enough and look less painful to
lvl, but i dont tried to make it gain lvl, i only used it for one quest)

Don't forget the Wicked Teeth. Starts at lvl 13, decent stats. Of course, a pain to lvl, mine is currently lvl 60(took the time to lvl it) I taught it sandblow, fireball, and boost and it seems pretty nice against water mobs. Definitely want to go with sandblow and Fireball for a water pet anyway, as I have yet to see any water mobs that are not metal or water element(Water is weak to earth and metal is weak to fire)


Land:
1. Baby Hercules (Legendary Pet)
2. Armored Bear or Shaodu Cub(Bear requires lvl 80, both great tanks)
3. one of the lvl 2 Scorpions ( typical "preferred" DD)
4. Eldergoth Marksman (Ranged and good for luring)
5. Gnome Saboteur (My mainpet. Decent Mdef, evasion and attack, plus he's just adorable and macho is his own way)

Air:
1. Baby Phoenix (Legendary pet)
2. Windwalking Piggy (Air Tank)
3. Cloud Skatefish (Great Attack, much more pleasing to the eye than insect or foxwing)

Water:
1. Plumpfish (because lvlign water pets is just too much work for most people)
2. Wicked Teeth (see my comments above on this pet)
3. One of the lvl 5 Turtles ( Better than the mermaids stat-wise)

Personally, I go with pets I like. Which for land pets, I am going with macho pets. In addition to my Gnome, I also use:
Bloodthirsty Adalwolf (Great DD)
Riverside Tuskmoor (Decent Tank)
Tauroc Valorian (Decent Tank, IMO more pleasing to the eyes than Tauroc Slave or one of the lvl 7 Taurocs)
Eldergoth Marksmen (Is macho and IMO more pleasing to the eye than the sharpshooter)

I plan to get myself a Nivastok when I get high enough, and I am currently working toward a Herc(Despite being the "ultiamte" land pet, I find the herc to be sexy and macho, plus gold is my favorite color) I use a cloud skatefish currently but plan to switch to either infernal Eidolon or Dazzlewing Moth once I get high enough. For water pet, I will be using my Wicked Teeth to the end.

i starting with a cristaline magmite (or w.e.), im testing it and i feel is better using a glacial walker.. is more rude than magmite. well i think isnt strong enough bc is still low lvl than my rudeboy

seriously i dont liked a pettite sawfly.. too squishy b:sad

Land
1. Crystaline (It acts childish, i love it. I could care less about Glacial)
2. Kowlin (cute kitty, why wouldn't you want it? and Really useful for chasing people on the ground for an after instance pk match)
3. Armored bear
4. Ostial Centiplex (Friend had one 3/4 years ago, i keep one thanks to that)
5. Undine (pretty mermaid)

Air
1. Sawfly (cute wasp-thing)
2. Foxwing (flying fox)
3. ???

Water
1. mermaid (who doesnt want a mermaid?)
2. Plumfish (its usefull)

Land
1. Crystaline -my main tanker. i do have a Valorian as the main backup, and Glacial that i recently leveled to 81, but for some reason it gets wiped out way faster than even the Valorian when in places like FF. same for my Armored Bear....really strange, but my dodo bear does better in FF than any of my bigger tanks, but is half the level
2. Kowlin- my beloved pet, top puller and the one i take out if i am just wanting to dress up and be beautiful, the way people used to have greyhounds or borzoi)
3. Armored bear- cute, and funny, but so far not finding him to be as good a tank
4. Frog- a 'for fun' pet...my son got him for me, and named him gorF: frog spelled backwards. i get him out when things are slow in squad, i like to take it out and have it 'spit', as a joke.
5. dodo bear- also a cutie, but fast becoming a tank in FF, despite low level (in his 50s, i think). squadmates im in there with dont like big pets/ones that look like mobs there, so that leaves me with my dumb Glacial Walker (acts/looks dumb, and so far, not good as a tank).

Air
1. Windwalker Pig- my tank for air, land and water. tough, and fun to hunt with
2. saving up points to get the Pilar pig, just as a pretty
3. ???

Water
1. plumpfish- such a relief to have something my level, and tough enough to fight the turtle in the Wraithgate!
