In what way? Just curious...

Pets do no taunt. At all.

Actually they do. I saw several times a mob turning away from me after I blasted it several times and my pet got a lucky taunt in. However, this implies the pet being higher level than the target (which won't happen after level 30-35) and getting a successful roll on their skill. Add to this the fact that they generate very low aggro with their hits and you have a point where you can't technically say the pets don't taunt and tank but no one will flaw you if you consider that they don't.

For the record, Haynar has been working on aggro and believes it is fixed on the beta server.

Dont hold you breath on double bolt yet. Need more specifics on what triggers it. But I was looking at bolt speeds and how to add collision detection. Very hard stuff.

I can second this. I usually use my earth pet if I need to cc at least it has a root.. Which is better than nothing.

Load up on SOW potions like any other caster that doesn't have SOW and you'll solo fine.

Mage pets also only cast about 30% as often as they should so Water pet/Fire pet DPS is lower than it should be. Air pets aren't locking mobs down with stun as much and earth pets aren't keeping things basically permarooted like they should.
