==Pets and Combat==
Bringing a pet into combat can be desirable, if it is strong enough it can give you a [[gank]] combination bonus and can more easily survive the fight. Against other players it may be enough to tip a fight your way. Against players however only champion or greenish pets are recommended and then only the stronger animals like crocodiles. Having your mount tamed means that it will enter combat with you too but often this means that in PvE whatever creature you fight will probably target your mount and not you. It is not recommended that you tame your mount for combat, this is an easy way to get it killed.
When in combat the taming level of your pet is very important. If it takes a melee hit then this can reduce its taming level. If it takes enough hits without dying it can go un-tame. This cannot be achieved with archery however, it must be a melee weapon. Thus when entering combat with a pet its important that the pet has the highest loyalty level you can achieve.
