I don’t nessesarily think ALL pets should be zerker level, but I think all greaters should be at least T3 worthy. There’s no reason a mammoth not only does no damage but also gets run through like paper because it has no armor.

I would say something like a greater saber should definitely be at least T3, that’s a great example.

Personally, I would like a more in depth training for both thralls and pets. It would be cool if even the lesser tier thralls and non greater pets could be made to come in line with the higher tier comparisons. Maybe make it so that the higher the tier the lower the max level. T4 max out at 10 lets say, T1 max out at 60 but that would put them in line with the maxed out T4’s. Maybe not exactly that, but something along those lines.

Alternatively, i could see something like pet “equipment”(ritualistic paints, special food crafted at the altar that gives them an hour long stat buff etc) or special crafting recipes(like the DLC skins, but with stat changes) from Jhebbal Sag. Give some more beast god feel to the beast god. Could also make the lures more useful and make that how you capture the animals instead of grabbing babies to dissuade the “animals are so easy to get it’s just rng if they’re a greater” argument. Lures could be used to drag them into traps, they would have to be at a certain hp threshold otherwise they’ll break the trap instead of getting incapacitated, something like that.
