Thanks for the feedback on pets, that's interesting to note. I'm certainly adding new pets and improving old ones when it comes to the next book - so if you have a favourite, then they should still be useful in future/more difficult encounters.

The same goes for mage minions also.

More opinions, comparing the warrior career options that i am exploring:
Pets review:
This is a really nice add to the already awesome features of this series.
As i suggested in the current Companion kickstarter, it would be perfect to have cards like the special loot or tokens to keep track of the passive/aggressive stance; something like front side (passive) rear side (aggressive), with some cool artworks to portrait their stance.

Talon wing: with its ability is a very good passive support, 1 passive damage to an apponent can help to keep doing damages in multiple combats, together with the Sentinel abilities, can give you a great start (1st round victory) and damage back.
Guardian (pa) ability can even upgrade the damage-
I upgraded it with Plated talons and it to helped its survive when i rolled 1 in passive stance.
So for me it’s a positive review!

Metal scorpion: i used it only during one fight, so i can’t say much, but its ability (upgraded) could have been very useful (especially when my characters had 1 or 2 Speed points less then the opponent; but i think it’s unlocked too late in the game, probably will have a better use in the next book!

Mastiff: currently using it with the Beastmaster career, and it’s awesome. Its upgrade can help it to survive longer, but if you use it, giving a round or two in passive stance to heal itself, it’s powerful in its aggressive stance; i boosted it with a couple of unused combat (or speed) abilities and this “puppy” can deal severe damages, plus when defeated its last bite can (in the luckiest way) do 8 damages.
Guardian (pa) ability is equally useful (even more, i say) also with the Mastiff, good combo.
So, in my opinion, it’s a positive review and it’s more funny to use it than the Talon wing; Probably in a 20 rounds long combat, for example, i think the (total) damages did by these pets, more or less, can be equal, probably a bit higher by the Mastiff.

Edited the correct amount of Silver; Sold the minor artifacts. Also i forgot to lower -1A due to final fight.

I am currently playing it again, as a Warrior, but this time choosing Cabal and Hinba tribe.
Also i am planning since the Prologue the "best path" with these priorities: loot, career combo abilities, silver, reputation.
And i can already say that it's a totally different experience.
deeper analysis in next posts

I didn’t finish the 3 Dungeon Delve, (reached the last fight in the Dryads Dungeon), and couldn’t complete the two legendaries monsters available in Act 2.
I had some troubles near the end of Act 1, but mainly my fault (no potions) because i was saving silver for future upgrades;
I found the multiple combats (Blue and Red quests in Act2) very tough, especially i had difficulties to contain the constant passive damage.
This was mainly due, beside the bad luck with dices, that i didn’t planned my warrior build from the beginning, i just played and enjoyed the book without thinking where’s the best loot.
I liked the Sentinel career, where the Talon Wing can be a very good support in its passive stance;
Unfortunately not having enough Reputation with the Sun Dogs and the Merchant i didn’t improve the Dervish career (i could have reached Speed 10 and change/switch some abilities).

I will try the Beastmaster career, because the Mastiff can be played more in its aggressive stance (thanx to abilities like Guardian); and i wanna try the Dark Templar career, sounds very challenging but with interesting combo options.
