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).
    What is new is the crazy amount of damage and defense Beast Master pets got: essentially turning them into super tanks.

    I was never trying to suggest pet tanking it a novel idea or exclusive to Beast Master. The strength and power of the Beast Master pets is what makes them uniquely powerful as tanks.
