Uses for Topaz carbuncle (or other tank pet) in dungeons.

[Reika]

I remember some threads claiming that Topaz carbuncle makes tanks useless in dungeons, But after toto-rak with a topaz out myself, I disagree.

You should think of Topaz Carbuncle THM's or CNJ's Sleep. Don't let it attack the Tanks main target, but sic it on something else. It will keep it off the healer, and soak damage. It doesn't matter too much if it ends up getting killed, because it's just a magic spell! It will also allow you to safely attack carbuncles target, because you and other DPS are highly unlikely to pull the target off of carbuncle if it gets it first. I also noticed that carbuncle cant really take aggro from the tank if the tank gets it first, and actually does what hes supposed to do to keep aggro.

I had a fun time crowd controlling with my topaz carbuncle.
