Well i haven't had much time to go over this skill as i have been out of the game for a long period of time finding it hard to stick them into my daily routines.

 

 

 

When i have decided to use them they have been extremely useful, making me use them pretty much all the time.

I think the question was a bit misleading with its structure. It lumps combat/healing familiars together, but the best healing familiars (void spinner, bunyip, and unicorn, as well as, to a lesser extent, fruit bats) are non-combat familiars. Everyone who loves bunyips but hates combat familiars (they're currently severely underpowered) will be voting in this category, making it seem like combat familiars are more popular than they really are. I suppose its nothing to important since this is an informal poll, but those kind of oversights should be double-checked for in the future! :

Lol, my iron titan kills stuff faster than me sometimes

I have to go with healing, I just love my ponycorn too much. It looks fantastic and it helps me at every boss monster. At Kree I have done 98 kc trio, we all had unicorns. Without them, it wouldnt be possible. Thus it is also making me money. :thumbsup:

Ok, maybe at level 90+ there are SOME useful combat familiars, but every combat familiar below that is pretty much useless!

20k xp/hour boost is not underpowered... it's underrated and underused.

I was talking more about actually hitting damage. With most monsters such as dust devils or fire giants, unless you actually click the call button every single time, you've already got the monster to under 25% health. Your familiar will have at most 2-3 hits and chances are they'll all be 0s. But I don't really want to turn this into a debate about the effectiveness of combt familiars, this isn't the thread for that, I'm just making the point that combat and healing familiars are two very distinctive classes that should not have lumped together like this.
