Editing Venomancer Tanking (section)

== Air Tank ==

You don't very often need an air tank.  Usually a high attack pet is a better idea, killing the monsters off nice and quickly.

So the usual advice applies.  For an airpet, the buzzsaw that is the sawfly, or a foxwing if you want a bit more defense.

Remember that in the air you do only half damage to ground monsters.  That can work to help you hold aggro, or can hurt (if you're on the ground and your pet isn't)

I should mention the rare flying pet here.  Windwalking Piggy.  There, I mentioned it.  It's an OK tank, but not much good for anything else and is a pain to get hold of because people tame it to make the all-class baby-pet.  You probably don't need it.

Evolved Baby Hercules (at level 100) can fly. The other legendary pets such as the Monkey King and the Harpy can fly from level 1 both of which are capable of tanking albeit they have limitations. The Hercules remains the better tank.
