So since the wiki doesn't have much info on new pets, I'm curious to what they do.
Is munch mouth good (PvE purposes) compared to Nekro or SnS? Assuming money is no object.
Never owned SnS or Munch, but I have three characters with nekro. For warrior what's the best pve pet now adays?
I own all 3 pets and what I found is this. Nekro is an all out defensive pet but makes up for it by having the highest area attack on passive. Unfortunately, I've had bosses one shot crit through the shield and killed me before. SNS is the ultimate all out damage and survive mob pet. If there's more than one of these in a party, prepare for fastest healing and highest wide area attack. Unfortunately it leaves you wide open to one shots not only from bosses but mobs as well. Also, when pet is in cool down, you will find it hard to survive unless you're a mage with shield or a tank. The pools also go all over the place. Best used when there's a nekro in party for protection as a rogue.
Munch mouth at first I didn't think much of him, but I think I underestimated this pet. Never mind all the things it can do, nekro and sns does those better. It's actually the crit nerf that you're after. With the armor bonus and passive armor added in, even when a boss red zones me and I'm inside, AA doesn't allow the boss to crit and I actually survive! I'm finding that this is the best pet for survival when you get to time the AA. It's like you get to constantly use a chest splitter on a boss and it lasts for a few seconds even without a warrior!
As a warrior, depends if you want to full tank and protect your team. MM is a good option that many have underestimated it. If I didn't have any Arcane pet, get nekro as its the cheapest and overall the best and most balanced pet. If you can afford either SNS or a MM, I personally would get SNS on a tank for max out damage. You are able to shield team and CS/Axe to anti crit. If I were a mage SNS as well since shielding can protect from one hits. As a rogue, with a team of players running with nekros, I still find MM keeps me alive better than SNS.
The most useful thing about SNS is also that as your character level increases, it only gets stronger! Right now, the pools are doing 500 damage a tick which is awesome!Quote:

Yes! If SNS pools end up going where you want them to go, it's actually pretty awesome! It can take care of bigger mobs kind of like toor and let you pot your way to survive. I currently rotate between SNS and MM depending on the team. Different pve situations call upon these pets. If there isn't a nekro in the party, I nekro the heck up as well!

Depends on what u want. If you want all out damage, nothing beats SNS. If you want good damage and not die as a rogue, MM can accomplish this.Quote:

Also, the fact it is not owned by everyone in town means that you don't have to worry about timing against other players (the thing that annoys me no end with Necro). I think it'll probably end up being one of those underrated secrets of the stable.Quote:
