Okay, now that pets are buffed, what about making a pet heavy build?
I'm thinking at the very least, they need to be able to replace the minion wall. Here's a theorycraft I came up with. Criticism welcome.

I like that, ima bookmark this page. Although pets are still fragile I believe.
Kill a pet and the build is shutted down.

I used to use 3 BM heroes way back when Asuran Scan worked on all allies but stopped after it was changed. You could probably make some decent build out of it with the recent buff now. The only bad thing is the fact that pet AI is so damn stupid.

Kill a pet and the build is shutted down. They're actually pretty sturdy. The buff also gave them a 33%dmg reduction. That's like about 24+ armor. If the pets do take tons of constant damage though, the heroes are gonna keep spamming Comfort Animal and eventually kill their own energy. If it's not disabled on the monk, it's gonna have some crazy energy probs.

I've been playing with primary Ranger and 3 heroes with pets. They spam comfort animal too much, I found it better to bring Charm Animal on the heroes, and Revive Animal on myself to handle pet ressing.
And just thinking out loud, why "replace minion wall." Do both

Although I dont like the builds here, I might try putting some hearty pets on my heroes to make a replacement for minion wall for those no-minion areas.
If you want the pets to deal damage, you really need to have a dedicated or semi-dedicated BM build with at least 9 in BM and some pet attacks.

Do heroes use disrupting lunge correctly?
Anyways, pets currently aren't too viable because of the lack of 7 heroes. Can you truly replace a hexer that gives enemies a variety of huge disadvantages who also reverses conditions back to them, as well as a minion bomber who makes explosive meatshields? They're just soooo useful. And if a henchie heals better than an n/rt, I don't know what to say.
Pets are good, but fail to replace the roles.

I went ahead and did PvX Wiki Decode for those builds for those not on GW at the moment.
I am pretty eager to get a pet build going myself, pretty cool update. Wondering how good pets are in Pre-Searing now too.

I use SoS, MM and a pet ranger on my warrior.
