	Beastmaster pets also have a lot of control utility. One aspect is how pet enmity mechanics work. If I send a pet to attack an enmity, the master is added to that enemy's hate list but with no built up enmity. If any mob links with the initially pulled mob, the master is not on their hate list at all. This allows a pet job to pull a single enemy out of a crowd of linking enemies and release the pet so that none of the linking mobs come with it.		Beastmaster pets also have a lot of control utility.

	There is a related element that applies to tanking. This is seen more on puppetmaster than beastmaster, only because puppetmaster has more reliable enmity tools for tanking. However, in an alliance, if the Enemy uses an Area-of-effect spell or ability targeting the pet, then the area of effect will only affect the pet master's party. The most commonly I used this effect was tanking Omen bosses. Put the pet tank in their own party in the alliance. Then when Kyou or whomever starts casting meteor on the pet tank, only the pet master is in danger. If they stay 30 yalms away they won't be hit. However, the other 2 parties in the alliance will receive no meteor damage at all, even when they are all in range.		There is a related element that applies to tanking.

	Furthermore, the pet Presto Julio or Flytrap familiar have incredibly potent, aoe, and long duration enfeebles. Soporific is dark-based Sleep that can last up to 4:30. Various enfeebles from Beastmaster pets are Area of effect, have high potency and/or long duration which even some Redmages envy. There are alot of very good crowd control tools beastmaster has to add support to a party.
