Samael vs the brothers whim
This is a question what many people are asking. Which of the 2 pets is better.
So far imo based on my knowledge about whims abilities. I'm thinking samael for sure is worth your gold as an arcane pet.
Let's discuss this guys. What are your opinions ?
Samael vs the brothers whim
I agree with pretty much everything you say besides this.

Factor in a rogue's natural ability for crits, I think rogues will be critting more damage with this pet. Also consider next level cap where a rogue's crit will increase and this pet will start to look better with its +15% damage.
Remember this pet gives the lowest Health out of all the arcane pets. On top of this disadvantage it doesn't even have health regen! Health is important for rouges to avoid those quick deaths from other rouges. Also rouges have always been lacking in mana.. Guess what tho? This pet also has no mana regen either ! Samael easily wins in this category imo.
In pvp 15% movement for a rouge isn't much useful imo. Shadow pierce gives like a 100% movement burst ( heck maybe more its faast) Sure you lose a bit of mana but that's why samael is such a beauty for this. You get back the mana you've lost pretty quickly! Making you being able to get to a specified location very quickly without mana lost if your timing is right ofcourse you can't just spam pierce obviously. lets say its 15% movement vs samaels 100 health, mana and health regain. Which one would you prefer? This is a no brainer lol
Also the 10% dodge we can both agree on that its pretty much a waste of a stat. Yes I agree rouges don't need much crit in endgame due to already having high amounts of crit but heck I'd pick samaels 10% crit over 10% dodge ANYDAY!! who wouldent?
The only category I'd say where whim beats sam in is by its arcane ability and its 15% dmg compared to sams 10% dmg. Lets face it its not like 5% DMG is going to be a ridiculous noticeable difference or even make you super OP. What's the 5% dmg difference to you? Wouldent you rather have more health and health regen so you can live longer? Wouldent you rather have mana regen so you can atk more? heck maybe if it was %25 dmg then it could be better then those things lol
Now the arcane ability... I've heard it's basically a trap which sucks enemies in and has a chance to stun. We can all agree that this is better then sams arcane ability but its not like sams arcane ability is TONS worst. The only way this pet even has a chance of being better then Sam imo is if it has AMAZING RIDICULOUS passives which most likely wont be the case lol. Samael also has a passive stun ability and I haven't heard about whim having this ability yet but maybe it does. I'm not sure ( if it doesn't oh man oh man ) lol.
Me being a rouge, I'd conclude that samael is definitely the better pvp pet by a long shot imo. Im pretty sure any others who pvp as a rouge would agree also. I haven't compared whims pve aspect vs sams because even if whim is better in pve I doubt anyone's going to want to cough up around 40m to play pve lol. We all know the majority of the population love arcane pets for pvp rather then pve.

If you didn't read correctly. I was talking about for rouges because he stated basically that its better then Sam for rouges
