What are builds that you are using for fotm runs (if anybody is doing it on ranger)?

Until 20 I ran FOTM with a beastmaster build but with each level above 9 it was getting more and more annoying because micromanaging pet is becoming harder and harder because of agony almost insta-killing pets at higher fractal levels even if you have 30 agony resistance.
At 25+ I went with a damage build (berserker mostly, sometimes knight in tough situations) and was doing rather fine with omnomberry pie consumables. As Pet I was using a devourer and red moa (fury buff) and kept the pets close to me especially as soon as there were agony fields on the ground.
It’s best to rely on yourself and not on your pet until pets get agony resistance. I hope today’s patch will finally bring agony resistance to pets. If they do pet’s will be usable again.
But still in some high lvl fractals like ascalon the damage from even trash mobs is so high that you don’t want to let your pet tank them, except maybe a bear
