In the case of the cliff golem scenario whether a necro using foreman or ench with say the astral projection it’s probably doing 5-8x the shaman or mage pet. Yet a break is no big deal and there is no way a level 45-48ish pet is taunting a 57 npc. | |||

Pet mechanics in groups are always funky
I still get summoned on breaks in small group stuff, like Royals and fungi camps. Usually don't have a proper tank in those scenarios though,just pets in Royals and usually a monk at fungi | ||

Hate transfer is definitely a solo thing, in groups aggro is different and like others have said funky. Heck the epic pet sometimes can pull aggro off players on certain mobs like ring war giants or shimmers in ToV.
Hardest mob I've soloed is probably Tserinna, but I'm usually very risk adverse solo.

I would never argue it doesnt exist. The misnomer of "all hate transfers to the caster" though, in my informal testing, is just not true.
Like "all stats will cap in Velious" some people like to make up bumper sticker slogans for a nuanced game. I'm probably beating the dead horse here but its just annoying to see it come up constantly. Either way, pet summoning to grind is just bad. If you want to level fast the worst thing to do is to find something to kill that will require you to summon 3+ pets lol. If you're looking for a class to stunt kill stuff even if chain-summoning worked perfectly the mage would barely be a C-Grade solo artist. I say this with all the love in my heart for the mage; enjoy your limitations and your strengths. | ||

I should've, Im just lazy and never installed obs. I did have to use two items to do it, but I think with lucky bashes/stun it would be doable with just a root net charge to keep her pet locked down.

The only time a pet can pull aggro off any player is if they are not in melee range. That's the great thing about pets...no aggro, max melee distance to avoid some AE's. They path around like drunks but once they are actually on a target they pay more attention to the task than 90% of warmbody raiders.

Pets are excellent sources of extra dps, but that isn't the meta anymore with zerg guilds. It's possible to use them way more often on raids than people do currently, but that's a whole another can of worms.
