While every class can tame pets, Beast Tamer Archers have a significant advantage, gaining access to the vast majority of available pets. If you're aiming for the strongest companions, the Archer Beast Tamer subclass (currently one of the game's best) is the way to go. Therefore, we'll present two tier lists: one for Beast Tamers and one for all other classes.
