pet summoning

i noticed @ the time of implementation that it seemed to be a simple procedure to change the order/randomization of pet summoning. As a pet class user, i feel it would be of great appreciation to many of thf players if these changes were made.

Mage summoning pet order-
1rst Water-rog
2nd Air-monk
3rd Earth-war
4 Fire-zerk

Necro summoning pet order-
1rst-vampire-monk
2nd spectre-rog
3rd skeleton-war
4th zombie-zerk

personally i would pref the mage order for both classes, but i have a feeling ^ is much less likely to be contested.

thanks again guys

Ive been told that with good buffs on the pets zerker leads them all in dps and I know that almost every pet I see in T8 is a zerker nec or mage so idk if it should be last then again I'm not sure that all pet class's that use pets actually parse them to test there dps and once the thf new parse dummy is live I'm sure many will find this out..

IMHO I think its fine the way it is the change made to what it is now is much better then it was with random pets per cast and the gm's always have a big list of things to work on.

Just my 2 cents ;)

After several parses, the zerker does more DPS than any other pet. Mage and Necro.

I don't think that this need to be changed AGAIN. Gms have already worked to make it so much better than it used to. Be happy with what you (we I should say since I run a necro too) have. There are far more important things to change/create than this. Changing order in the way you said would make you gain hmm 30s maybe, but maybe your neighbour caster would prefer to have the zerk first (as Beat said I see more and more running one, which is not my case since my skins are broken and I just can't stand to have a naked human pet instead of a zombie, so I stick to monk) so besides creating something that would allow caster to summon the pet he wants (ig 4 different spells), I see no way out.
Convince yourself that it's the fun of the spell and that even if you are a master summoner, you can't summon always the one you want :P And keep in mind if it was HELL different when it was random (I remember spending about 120% of my manabar, which is quite a lot, trying to summon one specific) :)

It was Beat's 2 cents, that's my 2....coppers :)

The Dark Lord has spoken. Fear his wrath if you tell him something he doesn't like !

Just to correct it, mage pet order is earth, fire, water, air. Which I love as I use fire/zerker exclusively as my parsing agrees with ye old Dark Lord's.
