    I never said pet tanking is a new concept. I never said other pet jobs have never kited or tanked NMs through-out FF XI's history.
    No, pet tanking is not a new concept (The irony here is right after saying pet tanking is a new concept, you immediately admit other jobs have kited and tanked NMs before, therefore making pets tanking not a new concept). If you want to get really specific and say "Pet tanking against hardcore DPS in endgame content" is a new concept, that's a little closer but even that has been done to a limited degree prior to audolin, item levels, etc.

    Also, as has been mentioned, pet tanking is not exclusive to beastmaster. With the last batch of attachments valoredge can actually tank- Not a new concept for PUP (There's been an attachment for enmity generation since PUP first existed), but the auto lacked durability prior.

    Pet burns are also still technically pets tanking, and they've been around as long as pet jobs have existed (read: since FFXI existed).
