I guess I am a bit impatient just like you in a way. As much as sometimes is cool having mini pets as backup like Necromancers horde of undead minions are, on the other hand it really can be a major distraction during the conflict with the enemy, freezing your moves for few seconds. Ok I am getting pet points, but I am risking getting huge damage points with summoning them, heh. I heard nothing new if that is being fixed in AoC because other MMOs certainly failed to pass in that area.
