Orion Versus Malison Stat Comparison

[n19one]

After i leveling up my malison and orion to lvl 30. i am doing some research, trying to use both of them in different situations.
IMO Orion gives us more defense than any pet available now in stable, include malison or koko, without leaving offensive damage too much for sorcerer.

DR :
2% damage reduction is same as 42.57 armor based on my calculation. (use formula that monkeysphere given atm).. so when u hav base armor is said 800 for example then u will hav 37.6 % damage reduction plus 2% from orion which make total amount is 39.6%. if u get hit 1000 damage then u will only receive 604 damage. imagine if u get critical hit from elite boss which can be 2000 damage,, yeah 2% is not quite big. bcoz it only give u 40 more hp
Health : 320 hp boost for Orion & 360 hp boost for mali
Look at the health and damage reduction both hav, malison and orion is same. mali with 40 more health and orion with 2 % damage reduction is same atm but someday orion will surpass mali if the higher level come
Crit : 0% Orion, 5% mali
Damage : Mali boost ur base damage around 3.1 more points compared to orion. But with arcane ability that orion hav, reduce enemies armor, hit chance and boost allies damages 10%, Orion wll surpass the damage given by mali. And the nice things is not only u, but all of ur party friends. although it is only for 6 sec but it is like pump up your party attack and weaken enemies defense at the same time. quite awesome.
Reduce enemy damage: this is the most quite useful ability in orion, 15% reduction in enemy damage (3 targets at lvl 15) can give ur survivability more. But i still wondering if this work on boss too??

conclusion :
Orion is best defensive pet atm for PVE boss
But if u want more damage without leaving ur health boost,, malison is still the best choice for pet esp for PVE mobs bcoz of its multiple targets
