While every class can tame pets, Beast Tamer Archers have access to the most powerful options. For the strongest companions, Archer Beast Tamer (a top-tier subclass) is the way to go. Therefore, we've created two tier lists: one for Beast Tamers and one for all other classes.

All classes can tame these pets, but many aren't very useful. You'll likely want one of the top-tier choices.
