Hi mauk.
Here's some other discussion on it, in this thread.
And in particular this post about the Cataphract's DPS.

However, in addition to that sort of number crunching, I was hoping for a bit more 'practical' experience. For example: The Polar Lights 'make up for' their craptastic DPS by having rather a lot of AOE, and doing a TON of knockback.
So, the Polar Lights are much more a 'debuffing' pet, in that they lower the damage incoming by rather a lot. Of course, a melee toon may want to think twice about Polar Lights....
That sort of insight would, I think, be useful. Polar Lights might be very useful for a SR/claws scrapper with ranged attacks, but not so good for a bs/invuln, which completely relies on adjacent, attackable enemies for its insane defenses.
See whut I mean?
No Clockworks?

T4 Core Superior

Updated the thread in the guides section as well.
Ok, In the hueg Pylon thread, Deus_Otiosus posted the following info:
All pets set to T4 Core Superior Ally.
Longbow don't have 184 raw DPS, and instead achieved their results through the cataphract's ability to keep the Pylon's regen floored for the entire fight (-500 to -2000% regen).
Cimerorans = 278
Warworks = 209
Phantoms = 204
Rularuu = 199
Carnies = 184
Longbow* = 184
Rikti = 180
IDF = 179
Arachnos = 177
Nemesis = 164
Robotic Drones = 162
Polar Lights = 160
Storm Elementals = 148
Vanguard = 141
Seers = 131
Of special interest to me is the note above about the Cataphract: If all you care about is the DPS, nobody would ever take anything but Cimmy's, but the cat is....REALLY nice.
So, what is the FULL story on the Lore pets? For example, the War Works. Everybody luvs Viccy, but I bet the ACU does even more damage than she does in a crowd, because he's got better AOE's.
Similarly, why are some of the low scorers so low? What do the Seers do to make them 'worth it?' Why would ANYBODY ever take the dinky little Polar Lights? Is the cataphract the King of Debuffers?
So, let's get the skinny here. I'm sure lots of people have taken lots of different pets, how do they all 'work?'
EDIT: Fixed Deus' name, becuz I suck.
