I think everyone’s very familiar with the same old lazy pure pets build with fragile and basically doing nothing beside casting CoF and Vines for proccing devotions.
Thank to some particular items, we can make some hybrid builds where both the master and the pets fight side by side.
These are some of the gear combo that i find fitting for such idea:
Lightning pets:
Voidmancer’s Cord
Savage
Fire/Chaos pets:
[Empowered Black Grimoire of Og’Napesh
Dracarris](http://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/items/8516-Dracarris)
Black Scourge
Poison/Acid pets:
Blightstone Invoker
Empowered Plaguemancer’s Amulet
Plaguebearer of Dreeg
Bysmiel’s bonds devotion pet proc on attack
IIRC there are also some items giving bonus to retaliation to user and pets, so i think tanky warder with Briarthorn?
