You can also build up agro before summoning the pet.
Build it up how vs a SoW speed MOB? Even with SoW yourself you have to strafe kite for a long time to gain enough space advantage to use a single fast activation ability. It would take hours and hours. Anyone who puts that amount of time in deserves the kill, LOL.

Everybody can use SoW pots as well.
Only if they don't want to try for an S+ kill.

Having SoW still doesn't change anything about being able to use Bio Orb. It has 5 second activation; a SoW speed MOB closes in too quickly. Even vs a regular speed MOB it may be sketchy, I can't remember exactly. I do remember 4.5 second casts from max range being barely able to outspace a regular speed MOB. You're also going to need to reapply lev cloak a bunch during this kiting process if that's your lev source, and it's a 6 sec cast. Plus more drinks of the SoW pot. Trying to kite down at the water probably won't work either, you need room to strafe in a big circle to build up the space, so that opens you up to getting other aggro.

I disagree with the idea that red dragon tooth is on par with puppet strings. A charmed mob is going to do a lot more damage than a level 41 necro pet.
Charm of course has much higher potential, but can break. It's not about the two items being exactly the same power though, it's about the tier. Two clicks of any other strong item is S* tier. A single click of Puppet Strings can be much more powerful than that, but it's all the same tier because it's ultimately all the same thing of using a massive hack. Dragon tooth could be considered that level of hackery, it's creating a ton of DPS in a way other items can't.
