lvl 53 pet?

[katrinia]

just dinged 53 in dulak, love the ease of the zone but wondering if i should start using the rogue over the warrior? i have seen a few resists and the 49 pet drops down on hp a bit when cannot get fear on quick enough. also will the rogue backstab with 2 hand of ixis on?
ty for the help

The 53 pet's advantage over the 49 pet is strictly in the DPS it puts out. It has fewer hitpoints and doesn't tank as well as the 49 pet, so if your concern is your pet's hp dropping when fear is resisted, then the 53 pet isn't going to help that... it will in fact make it worse.

The 53 pet will backstab no matter what it's armed with, at least in my experience. I use blades of the kedge and they definitely backstab.
