Drakes, I think they are still kinda bugged but their F2s can hit hard.
Drakes normal skill, their 1 is AoE, quite large as well. Their 4 skill, tail swipe is bugged, but when it gets fixed, is a AoE all around them for big damage!
Their f2 is aoe, but kinda small but yeah, big damage
I love my Murellow, aoe poison, and can regenerate some health. And they’re ugly, which I think makes them unique because no one wants to run around with an ugly dog lol.
Nearly all pets that deal AoE damage are linked to a condition field. Pets use the absolute minimum condition damage, regardless of the Ranger’s malice or equipment. That being said, only a handfull that inflict non damage conditions are really worth considering, such as a blue jellyfish’s frost aura.
Problem with the Murellow is that the AoE skill casting time is long.
Spiders AoE poison is quicker, but they are more squishy.
Personally, I prefer ranged pets like devourers. They also have a good evade AI so can survive through some long battles. Carrion devourer is my favourite.
