The radial tree has a support pet.
Essentially Core Path gets the boss pet in your T3 while Radial path gets a slightly better support pet.
For each tree there are three pets: Boss, Lieutenant and Support. The support pet comes in three flavors: Basic Support (cannot attack, takes damage), Support With Attack (exactly what is says on the tin), Invulnerable Support (cannot attack but immune to damage).
The four choices for T3 are:
Total Core: Boss + Lieutenant
Partial Core: Boss + Basic Support
Partial Radial: Lieutenant + Support with Attack
Total Radial: Lieutenant + Invulnerable Support
Which one you want depends on what is important to you. Personally I like the Core path since it gets the boss out earlier and the support pets are kinda meh IMHO but the Total Radial path is appealing for people who like the support pets and want to ensure it lives the complete duration. I will say that taking the Partial Radial strikes me as being a very poor choice, Partial Core will do more damage in most cases anyway and not having any attacks will help keep the support pet alive.

Oh! I don't think the description says the pet is "invulnerable" so it makes no sense to me why you would want two pets with only 800ish health. I do notice they have support powers. |

Yeah, Partial Radial doesn't make sense to me. The boss pet has over 2500 health which is almost double of my Fortunata health and his damage is so high.
For a SoA, I see the boss pet being the best choice as we have many team buffs for them. I guess if I am a stalker who stealth, I may just get a support pet since the pet will be taking most of the time and die.
I have a few more questions:
1. What's the benefit of tier 4 pets then? I see it's just one boss pet with a minion?
2. How come the lieut pets only have 800ish health? Shouldn't lieut have like more than the minion?
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

Core: Boss + Lieutenant + 25% damage bonus for both
Radial: Boss + Invulnerable Support Pet
So the T4 Core is basically a damage upgrade over the T3 Total Core. Depending on how you look at it the T4 Radial either means you don't have to worry about keeping the support pet alive if you're upgrading from Partial Core or is a damage/survivability upgrade if you originally had Radial.

Ah I see thanks.

I got tier 3 Clockwork on Core path (the Left Path) and it's one Boss pet (Dismantler) + one minion (Builder). The boss pet has over 2500 health and the minion only has about 800.
I've been reading the "details" (right click) but I can't figure out why the Right Path (Radial) only has two minion pets with both health at 800 something. Am I missing something here?
Why would anyone choose the right path if you only get two pets with health 800? The description doesn't say you get more than two pets so I am a bit confused here.
Any idea?
