I feel you on Last Epoch (Can't wait for 1.0 next month and to get back into Beastmaster) and Grim Dawn too. I also recommend Aion's Spirit Master as a great "Summoner" class - I've not played Aion since it left NCSoft but I hope it still plays like it used to.
I'll have a look into Aion. Hellgate London had two unique pet jobs, with Engineer having a robot that could equip player weapons. You can still play it offline if you're curious. Path of Exiles eventually layer on to be really good as well and that one's free.

I had high hopes for Diablo 4s necromancer but way to many important abilities are tied to gear and it feels less like a spec and more like an afterthought.
