So I just changed my build, and now I am getting completely focused by mobs, instead of my pet. Prior to my change, my pet always tanked (not very well) but he still kept all the aggro somehow. Now with my new build, pets ignore him completely and gun straight for me, even if I use F1 and send my pet in and do not attack at all myself, they dash right past him, and into me.
Can anyone tell me what I seemed to have changed here?
Old Build:
Weapon – Short Bow
Skills – Quickening Zephyr, Signet of Renewal, Signet of the Wild, Entangle.
Traits – 30 Points Marksmanship/Power = Predator’s Instinct, Piercing Arrows, Remorseless.
30 Points Wilderness Survival/Toughness = Wilderness Knowledge, Hide in plain Sight, Bark Skin.
New Build:
Weapon: Axe/Torch
Skills: Quickening Zephyr, Signet of Renewal, Signet of the Wild, Rampage as One.
Traits: 30 Points Beastmastery/Pet Attribute = Master’s Bond, Stability Training, Natural Healing.
30 Points Skirmishing/Precision = Companions Might, Carnivorous Appetite, Honed Axes.
So basically I switched from a conditional bleed build, to a tank build. Before my pet would keep all the aggro, but could not tank very long, nor provided much additional damage.
Now I have my pet set up that he has 2 forms of natural regen, health gain on crits, he deals 3 times my damage, crits often, and I honestly have not seen him drop below 90% health yet. The problem is, after about 3 attacks all the monsters charge in on me.
So can anyone explain what went wrong here?
