Re: Life Wizard looking for good pet (Opinions and Ideas).
Hi - I have a bunch of Clockwork Paladins that are all Ward pets as you describe. They are very popular with the PVP crowd as they also give clockwork paladin minion cards. For you it sounds like the minion cards would not be so helpful though. Check out the kiosk where there are bunch. it is a balance pet.
For Life Wizards. I always go with my Leaf-foot as I never die :-). I have one with spell proof and spell defy but has sprite, Unicorn and fairy instead of the Wards you describe..
