1. Petmancer
2. Pet class
3. Gridania
4. A bunch of wanderers who got lost in the woods, went crazy and started forming a special bond with animals of all sorts.
5. Pet Attack - flings a random pet at the target. If it turns out to be a cat, the target is hit for 50 potency and receives damage over time. If it's a dog, the target is hit for 150 potency. If this attack crits, it's a bear and the skill applies both increased potency and damage over time.
6. Various pets to throw at your enemies.
7. Realistically? We'll never see such a class, sadly. But it'd be more fun than dealing with the current, clunky pet mechanics.
