whats the best stance to set for the pets? aggressive, normal, or defensive?
I don’t use Blacksmith Bonuses in my builds. So you can never choose wrong 
6% DA for the player as the 2 piece set bonus for Beastcaller’s
Don’t get near Cally. Always keep your distance. Avoid her Sand projectiles like the plague, they can one-shot you. It is a Kite Fest where you keep moving, stopping only to cast stuff when she is either busy with something else or doing her Wing blast attack.
(No idea why it is a “her”, but that is what the community goes with :o)
Not sure what you mean by your birds getting stuck.
Always Aggressive.
In your second comment you mentioned going for manticore later, but in the non-archived versions none of the devotion trees uses manticore. I take it manticore is out?
In my second comment?
If you are talking about the Guide, it is a different build and the advices given there are specific for that build.
Yes, sorry if i was unclear. Thanks for the response!
Just made me giggle

Wait… you can set pet stances? Where?
Right click their portraits that appear on the Upper Left side
For pets like Necromancer’s Skeletons that do not have the portrait thingy, you can’t choose the stance however.
Wow, thank you.
Killed Cally now aswell, specced out of hellhound and put the points in the mog’s pact line as the Dog was dying non-stop anyway. Just took me 15 minutes of running around the maw of whatever (worm thing)
Yeah, the doggy dies alot against Cally.
I still use it because with Ember Claw, it does do some dmg and serve as a pretty decent distraction (not talking about Cally, but in general)
So… um… guys…
I may have some news on some stuff…

The future looks uncertain :eek:
Btw, got another build for you guys. Not tested yet, but in theory atleast it should work. I will try it out when I have the time. But if anyone wants to GDStash the build and see how it fares, here is the link:
I have a feeling Zantai gonna drop the nerf hammer upon your builds very soon ;s
Then we make a different build that is just as strong
Unless pets get absolutely nerfed to the ground, I will come up with something. I guarantee you that 
I’m pretty sure the only thing Z said is changing is the resistances of Storm Birds. The would have pretty much no effect outside of Crucible/high shards, places where face multiple strong sources of RR.
Depending upon the changes, SuperBosses may get harder too as AoE kills the Birbs even now.
So, tested it out: https://i.imgur.com/zKM4E91.jpg
I kind of expected more 
We need a buff to Briarthorns.
Alternate version of the same build: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/a2E5Mnn2
Same clear time though: https://i.imgur.com/2AlBLwP.jpg
So, I heard someone complaining that the Birb version didn’t have enough pets.
I like to please, so I got more pets (but not for the birb version):

Was the ele version (95 conversion) not good? the one you just posted. I’ve been theorycrafting something similar.
