I have given up casting my pet.
I know that it isn't a necro pet and I don't expect much from it. I am aware of the "treat it like a dot" advice. But I still can't see what use it is.
I have pet attacks turned on and frequently for an entire fight it will be misses, gets parried, mob dodges etc, etc. As a DoT it is hideously inefficient.
When it does hit it does 5 or 10 damage. The poor thing is something like level 20 and is being asked to tackle level 35+ mobs.
And it gets in my way.
The only real use seems to be to delay the mob for several microseconds if I have to run for it.
Am I missing something?
