I've just gotten my first pet and am a little confused. There seems to be a general consensus that getting the pet is life-changing for soloing, but to me it doesn't seem that way. If you let the pet tank you have to spend even more mana on top of your dots to keep him healed, as he doesn't take a beating very well. If you root rot, well, you can't use your pet because then your pet would just end up tanking. No kind of slow for kiting. I see where the pet becomes free damage if I do the tanking myself, but I still have to spend my mana on keeping myself healed and slowed just like I would if the pet were tanking. My gear is standard as mentioned in the guide and not twinked (scaled mythic armor, HP rings, Jade Chokidai Prod, Charred Guardian Shield, etc.).
What am I missing? I feel like mobs are always going to be hitting something if I'm using my pet, so what is the proper way to use it to maximize efficiency? Thanks in advance for the help!
