Patron pets

[Brutal Justice]

Which patron pet is the best?  I am partial to the toxic tarantula just because of coolness factor but I have no idea how it stacks up to the rest of the pets.  I think I have used the mu guardian back on live but again, no idea how their performance compares.  I find the patron pets fun, I just wanted to hear other people’s preferences and performance comparisons.

I think you're on the right track. They're fun, but none of them are terribly effective. I've even got one six slotted purely because I wanted the IO set bonuses and his damage is still middilng, and they die so fast.

 

I wouldn't pick any of them based on effectiveness, more on fun/look/theme if that's your thing, since none of them are really going to save you in a fight or make a noticeable different in your clear speed.
