General Usage

 * Precast Call of Protection to significantly increase your pets survivability.
 * Find a mob and make sure that the pets are with your heroes when drawing aggro
 * Micro one of your heroes to put Splinter Weapon on you for a big first hit.
 * Flag your heroes behind your pets if necessary.
 * Target the middle enemy in the mob for maximum damage, call that target to further increase your teams damage output.

Counters

 * Poor aggro results in pets not absorbing damage and thus wasting energy on your backline
 * Poor aggro can result in the rangers getting hexed by Empathy or Insidious Parasite, dealing massive damage due to Barrage triggering them multiple times.
 * Failing to make the mob ball reduces damage and prolongs the battle.
