Go hop on Samurai or BLM and try fighting an Escha Ra'Aun tier 2-3 NM with just a BST pet as tank. We'll all wait with bated breath for the screen shots of your (sure to be) incredibly successful attempts.

Here's a quote from the guy who wrote that pup tanking guide to mull over while you do that. "The methods I am talking about are for people who have extreme tanking needs. I.E. you have REALLY good DDs. I have literally the best Beastmasters in the game in my LS, so I've had to find and adopt better ways to manage enmity. "

Good luck with your BST tank.

As I've said, I've worked with Beast Master pets as tanks against all kinds of Notorious Monsters and battlefield bosses. They are quite impressive in that role and make excellent offensive tanks. They have a combination of both offense and defense that is unrivaled in my opinion.

Perhaps these samurai and black mage you mention just need to work on how to manage their threat a little better. Because they don't sound like very good DDs to me if they are incapable of working with a Beast Master pet/tank.

In any case: you are doing what is typical in these forums. You try to place every topic in the context of the extreme - as if the fact their pets can't tank some extremely difficult tier 3 NM that would probably take an army of support and a exceptionally well-geared Paladin to successfully tank anyway. Sorry but that doesn't mean they can't make good tanks.
