WTF Necro pet sucks!

[mimixownzall]

So, I decided that my human necro blows and rolled an Erudite one.

Low and behold I realize that the pets have been nerfed almost to uselessness. They can't keep aggro - even one lifetap at 50% hps makes them target me and I can get rid of them. Hell, even just going up and meleeing, if I hit them for 6 dmg with my dagger, the mob won't get away from me. I feel like a damn SK sitting there tanking for my pet cause he can't tank for me. He can kill blues, but it takes forever, and since I don't want to end up tanking the entire time, I can't help him kill it to make things faster. I'm only level 5, does it get any better later levels? This can't possibly be classic.

Is this permanent or are they still being looked into/tweaked?
