Lvl 60 pet vs lvl 64 pet dps loss?

[Dhantes]

Okay anyways thinking of switching to using my beastlord to pet pull with the lvl 60 pet instead of using the lvl 64 pet when i attempt to do hard ldons 3box. Lvl 60 dpoc focused bst pet has 3500 hp and is low enough to pet pull versus my sk's pet which only has 2300 hp i buff said pets with kraggs+virtue+bov but when pet pullling a 1k hitter im thinking that 1200 more hp would be more valuable then the dps loss. Anyways not sure yet if i do decide to switch to this setup i will need to buy pet discipline anyways just want some advise i normally dont group with a bard to pull and pacify is slow, wastes mana and resisted alot in hard ldons soo... what do you guys think?

The level 60 pet spell is able to single pull?  I thought it needed to be green to the mobs, and it's light blue to a level 65 player...I was thinking that the 54 or 56 spell would be necessary...

Not sure what advice to give you except make sure you have Spirit of Shrew if you don't already to give your pet some extra speed...one normal difficulty win in Guk will get it for you but I would think you have it already if you 3-box ldons.  Actually, one idea would be to use the Calliav line of pet rune spells...that would protect any level pet from 1, 2, or 3 hits (depending on which one you buy) and could be a good investment if you can spare the mana/points.

Game on,

The thing was though he was using monster summoning 4. According to lucy it doesn't give a descriptive lvl for that pet. It could be that is a lower lvl pet and it's just not saying it.

Brael didn't say anywhere in there that he used Son of Rathe anywhere only Monster summoning 4 which is a diff spell. I'll bet money that Monster 4 is a lvl 50 something pet which is why he's able to do it.

ms4 is a lvl 60+ pet depending on the focus you use.

not sure why he's able to single pull with it. ms3 works fine most of the time as its lvl 48.

Been pet pulling with lvl 60 pet for hard ldons he does a pretty good job normally taking 2-3 hits and not getting stunned nearly as much as my sk's pet. Im thinking calliave might be a good idea but gonna hold off and hope omens calliave is easy to get. Only problem im running into is pet trying to run up stairs and having problems =\ which can result in a wipe since i normally dont travel with good CC. (though im getting better at rooting/snaring with my cleric/sk)
