For some reason I hadn't tried this pet (from Soul Mastery) out yet. I picked it up last night on my elec/ice and I think she is maybe the smartest pet ever.
Why?
Because she apparently only uses ranged attacks AND they have the psi attack long range. So she just sits way back and plink plinks while the gremlins & I make with the melee punch punching. Also, I don't think she has any AOEs, so her aggro draw is low.
[City of Data says she has Mind Probe, but I didn't see her use it - perhaps because the 100 range of the Psi Blasts is far enough that her melee ai settings don't kick in.]
As usual, probably won't be noticed in a large team, but in a solo or duo type setup, she provides consistent damage - and for me a 3rd damage type.
Can't wait till 50 and I've got her just about perma'd (~1s off, with perma hasten).
