Pet aa'sFollow

Ok I do not understand the pet AA suspended minion and persistent minion, how important is these two and what really makes them of any use?

I summon my pet and gear him out, when I log off and log back in next day my pet is there with all his gear on , so I'm confused about above question in asked about both those two AA,s i do understand I can suspend one pet and summon new pet so I can change pets out on then fly if imreading suspended minion correctly but what else makes the two AA,s so important in the solo Mage builds i see so many builds uses these two AA,s?

Ok awesome, that's good idea I'll get suspended minion as well, be nice and usefull to have a second pet available, tyvm

But the persistent minion I don't need as of what you explained, correct?

snailish nailed everything, and Persistent Minion is worthless now.

Suspended pet is obvious, suspends a pet in case the one up dies. However, the catch is that the suspended pet must be made in that zone. Persistent minion lets you cross zones and still have the pet. Drove me crazy the first few times I cast, buffed up and toyed up a pet in gl, then suspended it and cast another. Went to battle with a named (obviously in a diff zone), went to bring suspended pet out and poof, not there. Did it a few times before getting persistent minion. Now hastened suspended minion..bah..as a mage, if there's no tank alive and the pet goes, lol, chances are you're down before it casts anyway.
