At level 8? I think? You get an undead nuke which is great for out DPSing pet.

Fear kiting is super easy once your DoTs get a little better… Snare, dot up, fear. Repeat until mob is near 50%, send pet. Repeat fears / snares. Pet won’t steal any exp. The trick is to make sure you’ve done close to 50% damage before you send pet — it’s hard to do with the early DoTs though - they’re pretty inefficient.

At level 16 you get access to Banshee aura - with this + vampiric embrace you can drain tank. You’ll easily out dps your pet if you have something like a smoldering brand and melee attack. It’s my favorite and has basically 0 downtime because melee will be your damage.

In a few more level you get better DoTs and Snare, so no need to rely on pet to do the damage and steal your exp. For now, just get through those early levels however you can. If you can kill 2x the mobs with the pet doing most of the damage it’s worth it.
