I don't want to turn this into a Bst tanking thread but....
the problem with using a Best Pet to tank is Hit points and pet level, it's fine for the lower end game but as you move closer to the end game it increasingly becomes a problem.
For example at lvl 45 you would have a lvl 31 pet with 2900 Hpts(with temp) trying to tank in Dreadlands, which when you consider my lvl 10 Warrior pushes 2k Hpts with temp is going to be a struggle.
It gets worse in the 50's, imagine trying to tank an immune to slow mob in PoInnovention with a lvl 41 pet with 3k hitpoints it's just not going to happen.
