Mobs will always attack player characters instead of pets if both are in range, regardless of how much hate the pet can generate. Necro pets are much less sturdy tanks than Mage Earth pets of the same level. Also, due to the geometry of the pet models, mobs being attacked by both Necro and Mage pets will always attack the Necro pet because it stands closer to the mob. And if your concern is making it to level 8 for root...I think you'll be ok. The grind to 8 is not a long or difficult one.
