Timed Runs: HammerJaw
• Rapid party buff to keep all party members damage stacked up, with the addition of 5 crit and seamless "twisting" if another group member has a Hammerjaw. Also, the defense reduction for bosses is great as ALL party members hit harder which results in more overall damage than when compared to Samael's passive poison ability and slow arcane ability.
Player vs. Player: Samael
• Samael, especially with the ability to consistently stun, critical with poison, and passively panic - this pet for warriors is unrivaled when compared to the other three arcane pets. It has all the stats that a warrior is looking for and one can consider it's passives a second skill!
As for Glacian, for warriors, he's just a weaker version of Samael as his passive attack isn't strong, the skill cool down is exceedingly long, and the armor boost from the arcane is a waste. Why? A different benefit like 10% damage would be far more useful. A warrior already has great defense, there is no need for it to have more.
Best Overall Pet: Samael
Why? It does not trail that far behind Hammerjaw in PvE hrs, so it is definitely useful. Also, it has the upper hand in PvP. However, if you're a team player, Hammerjaw's arcane ability will be FAR more useful than Samael's obscenely powerful Happiness bonus.
