I have a newbie question.

Hi. I just begun with this game yesterday and I'm having a blast. I made a lighting warrior since I often tank on MMOs but I also like to play hunters as a second character.

Now my question is: does Hunters in this game have a pet/companion ? And if they dont' then how you go about soloing open world with low armor/health and no pet to tank for you?

I appreciate the time you guys/girls take to answer my silly question.

Regards.
