I've used Sam, Singe, mari, and now nekro. Of all these pets, I'd have to say that nekro is an ultra haxor pet. Its abilities give your toon the ability to control your environment manipulating it to how you want it. Got stunned and about to die? His AA removes your stun, let's you speed boost to safety within a bubble. Have a big mob and taking huge damage? His bubble can protect you from them one hits and still stay on afterwards unlike Scorch's. Banishment and stun are just the sugar coating on top. For PVE, having 2+ would ensure almost constant shielding and would mate well with any other 2 pets. In PVP, 2 nekro, 2 toor and 1 Maridos would ensure a quick and sure death of the other team.
With the one hits now a norm, nekro is a pet that allows you to change the game mechanics much like how Sam did in his day. Finish a room/area and you can speed boost it to the next section. Sam's stuns are still nice to have, but with more enemies being immune to it much like nekros shield, nekro is the best pet to have for a long time to come and it's hard to see any pet that can top it. At 5m and dropping, this pet is a sure bargain. Swapping between Sam Singe, Maridos, or toor can't even come close to this all in one pet.
Do yourself a favor and hatch the pet that came from the blood, sweat, and tears of people who ran elites to bring you this awesome undead dragon
Props to STS for making this pet more affordable to the general public and not limited to the fortunate few xD
