There are however differences between pet attack speeds, contrary to other published BBO Gold data on pets, and the damage types are here reported correctly, as opposed to the erroneous claims of the Prima guide and other sources.

Lynxes are found in Kryta, around Bergen Hot Springs, Beetletun, the Ascalon Settlement and various other areas, and are level 5.

The base health of all pets is 80+20/level, resulting in the following table of health values. The base damage range of all pets depends on the pet’s level, and is displayed in the following table; the distribution is also available and is clearly nonlinear. The notes include the statistical tests.

Pet Level Minimum Damage Maximum Damage Mean Damage Distribution + Statistics

The most striking difference in pet statistics is in the pet attack speeds. As can be seen, the pets are invariant excepting the type of damage delivered, and it turns out, attack speed.

The attack rate is the sole variable in effectiveness, and isn’t balanced by any compensating factors – a Bear is simply the worst pet due to its slower attack rating.

All other pets are equally effective - to mention this again however the Black Widow does not have a poison attack - it is no more effective than any other pet.
