The Raven pet, Dorian, in Diablo 4 is purely cosmetic. Unlike some pets in other games that might offer combat assistance or stat boosts, Dorian is only a visual companion. So do not expect Dorian to help out with battles or have its own skillset or boosts. Dorian will just watch the player do their thing, not participate.

As a small, animated raven that follows you as you travel through Sanctuary, Dorian is a charming addition to your character. Think of him as an accessory instead of as a mercenary companion that helps out. He doesn't engage in combat, he doesn't collect loot, and he doesn't provide any gameplay advantages.

Essentially, Dorian serves a symbol to other players that you completed the season. That’s not so bad of a reward for Diablo 4, and it’s definitely better as a pet than as an item that you may or may not want.
