The problem is that once you hit I think it's maybe Grift 33 ish, the pets would die in 1 hit. Go up against something like The Butcher and his aoe move completely wipes out your entire army. DPS is now extremely low and you got nothing to tank that angry beast.
I do think it's a very easy setup when the pets stay alive, but with 4 WD's on the screen it gets a bit laggy on the server side.
gotta agree with you on the last part ~ lol.. im just boxing 2 atm.. dont really wanna go to 3 or 4 tho i believe it will be fun.. the syncing just gets me crazy every now and then, especially fighting elites.. i found wd to be good for boxing since pet can tank and you can hide at one corner and spam dps.. not sure about GR33 tho.. the max i went to now is GR11 only.. i start to see pet dying.. maybe there's a better way or a mix of classes could help..

trying 2 dh now.. sentry seems cool and lesser out of sync issue, but die pretty easily.. i'm thinking of dh and wd.. not sure if it can work out..

tried 2 barb, but i gotta say.. i dont like melee.. tried 2 wiz.. not too bad.. but too bad they die pretty easily as well..
