Wizard Pet Rough Stats:

mana cost: 250

I am curious as to why the wizard pet costs 5x mana to make when they are almost the same pet essentially. My pet sometimes dies 3 times in a fight, which is 750 mana, but for a cleric would only be 150... quite a difference and needs to be scaled down imo.
 
Flaming Sword is essentially a supplement to Wizard DPS which they can also use to kite, while the cleric pet is a cleric's only DPS and is good for nothing? :p Also note that the flaming sword is two levels higher than the hammer, and does a little more DPS as a result.

Aside from those two possible (bad) reasons, I have no idea. Does it even matter, though? Using your pet selectively will ensure it's around for quite a while, and if it's dying that much maybe you're better off with a familiar. :p
 
ha, this will really piss him off
Cleric pets are very usefull, extreamly usefull!
they are invounerable to magic
and stun alot from behind

cleric pet is a cleric's only DPS

WHAT?!?!
here is a little advice for mid level clerics, pull 4 dark blues, use your summoned hammers (the hand of god dd) and memorize 3 Area Nukes
If you have the Hps and AC on, along with your fast heals, you should have no problem killing those 4 mobs in half the time it takes for a wizard to snare kite, using considerably less mana aswell.

Cleric summoned hammers own undead, and as far as caster classes go, clerics are the best standing dps, by that meaning melee or holding agro
shamans are just as good, but shamans are weak to undead, clerics well you get the picture... Clerics also have a damn nice damage shield that eats unslowed weaklings.
 
I was speaking about level 54+, when clerics actually have the hammer pet. In my nine months of playing a cleric on Winter's Roar, I came to the conclusion that memorising nukes and AE nukes at a high level is next to pointless, unless you're in a duo situation.

Solo, clerics can take one blue at a time, between Yaulp V, celestial elixir, the summoned super hammer and a hammer pet. In groups, however, it's more feasible for the cleric to sit and recover mana instead of passively or actively wasting it trying to do sub-par DPS. Personally, I tried to use the hammer pet more often than most other clerics, but my group mates (including Wiz) happened to tell me that I shouldn't do it as it was a waste of mana. :p
 
I think your groupmates were wrong, I don't see how it's a waste of time or mana unless the mobs you are fighting all AE (or the melees are too lazy to turn the mob).
