hey, i am a new necro(evil summoner) and it was explained this way, the summoner classes get 3 types of pets(at least the necros do) a warlock, assasin, and fighter class. i think the good summoner(conjurer) gets similar pets, earth is fighter, and fire and others are like casters or rogue class pets. eash will be good ina specific situation(solo gona need a tank, caster for full group, etc) my nec is only 20, so i dont know much, but there ya have it
