IRL - Can a Necro pet tank? (3 Viewers)

[Wyntyr]

I've put together some off the wall groups in the past, thinking of doing 4x Necro, 1x Bard and 1x Druid. My concern is that the necro pets are possibly not strong enough to tank named in the group game. Anyone have experience with this?

necro pet is dps class sorta like a ranger, so if you want a ranger to tank, then go ahead

Necro pet can absolutely tank, but there's a caveat to it. You need to be running the best Raid level EM earring you can get... in your case x 4.
My advice is to put 1 mage in the party, 3 necros and the druid can buff / heal / port everyone Only reason being, then you only need 1 raid level EM earring for the mage and necros can just use highest group EM item for added DPS.

Edit... Then you also have baked in pet toys and COTH for what that's worth (huge time saver)

I'm not going to be raiding so I'm limited to the group EM ear unless you are talking about the chase loot EM? I think those are equal to the raid ones.
