Quoting myself here from
this thread in the Demo forums ...

There does seem to be a general misconception that the summoned demons are 'pets' in a more traditional sense rather than being a 'familiar'.
With pets, it's generally assumed that they'll be able to serve as a personal tank, or at the very least have a substantial amount of dps or some other defining abilities that function somewhat as an extension of your character.
With our demons, you really do just have to look at their role as being a familiar. Their main purpose is to boost our own power, rather than act independently of it. That's why one of their main purposes is to grant specific buffs that will also augment any characters grouped with the Demo.

I can understand what you're getting at though - but at heart the Demo class really fulfills the role of Mage or Wizard more so than what's typically considered a 'pet' class. We're pretty much our own source of power, while the demon is just another tool we use to augment it.
