How does necro aggro work?

It also depends on the level of your pet. I noticed that if I had the lower level pet (of my max level pet spell that is) and would send it to attack a mob and sit, it would be sufficient to grab aggro, even if it did like 10% damage on the mob.

Then having max level pet is VERY important, also depending on your level give him 2 weapons so he can dual wield (gnoll hide lariat - stun proc weapons - are fun toys). Pets start dual wielding at what, level 20 ?

At level 29 with max level 29 (pet spell) pet, I 'd be able to land my highest fire based DOT on a mob with 90% HP with no problem. If I needed to burst DPS, i'd land my highest darkness line DOT and would FD, sitting immediately after that : Pet keeps aggro.
