Combat pets (also referred to as Item pets or Universal combat pets) may be acquired by any archetype.

• Combat pets generally have a horizontal progression, not a vertical one. Unlike Summoner summons, combat pets do not increase a player's power, but instead require a sacrifice from the player.

It’s important to note, combat pets are primarily horizontal in nature. Where as class pets (like summoner) are a very vertical mechanic. – Steven Sharif

• Combat pets may be tamed from certain creatures in the world.
• Combat pets are categorized by class and will adhere to a simple trinity structure (Tank/DPS/Support).
  • Tank pets will maintain threat against enemies independent of the pet owner.
• Combat pets will also be categorized into different rarities.
• Combat pets may not be able to be summoned in certain dungeons, instances or other spaces.

It will participate in combat. It will allow you different options sometimes, but it won't necessarily increase your power and... you'll be sacrificing something for it. – Jeffrey Bard
