Sorc pets in dungeons

I just hit CP50 on a mag sorc, and started running normal dungeons. I've been keeping the tank pet out, with the healing morph so I can use it to self-heal. It also sometimes helps intercept aggro.

But I'm thinking that I would get more DPS by using that slot for something else. Do sorcs usually run pets in dungeons?

    God please do not run clanfear in group dungeons! It's taunt can mess with the tank holding aggro on the boss and potentially cause a wipe.

    To answer your question though: yes, pets are generally considered poor for dps. I recommend looking up some end game sorc builds.

    Pets are best for soloing dungeons.

    As above, in groups they can really mess up aggro for tank. Matriarch aggros less, so if you have to run a heal pet I suggest matriarch

    Yeah, I noticed that last night. We were supposed to run past a bunch of mobs, but the pet kept aggroing them. I had to dismiss it for us to get through. That's what made me think the pet was a bad idea in dungeons.

    I use a different Bar for Group Dungeons than I do for solo instances. So, if you like Pets otherwise, just set your Bar up for Group events, then go back to the Pet Bar for other content.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    As a tank I've personally not had issues with sorcs running pets. Generally they end up off tanking an add, anything important I'm taunting regularly anyways.

    Typically yeah, but the familiar (for some reason) loves bosses. And there are dungeons where you need to move the boss into a certain place, familiar loves to mess that right up.

    One of my mains is a pet sorc and it's like easy mode for soloing dungeons.
    That includes soloing group dungeons. Almost feels like cheating.
