Request - Necro Pet Tank

[Zat]

I noticed that mages have a pet tank role they are able to use. Would it be possible to get this role implemented for necros as well?

The mage pet tank role is largely deprecated, unfortunately, and I have no current plans to add this to any other default.

You'll have to add this yourself to a custom config if you desire. I wouldn't even begin to know what abilities you would want there, yet alone playtest it.

It mostly would be just for farming stuff that is a little too inefficient to face tank. Think CT 2.0 @ lvl 65.

It would make it far more efficient to let the pet take a good portion of the damage and the only real load out to change is have the pet heal loaded and use Mend Companion if the the pet gets below 20% HP. At higher levels we get a few more AA that could be used in an emergency.

If you are not interested or have the time would there at least be interest in accepting changes upstream if I got this role fully implemented and tested.

I play a necro and have my pet as the tank. It works well with a bunch of dots and fear. As the mob runs my pet continues to beat the crap out of it.

This doesn't sound like you need an extra role at all.

Adding the option to mem/use the pet heal is already a thing on the emu configs, as are things like mend companion etc.

If that was the blueprint, I'd be happy to accept the PR.

Oh interesting, I will take a look at the emu configs and play around. Thank you.
