Missing: A pet class

I really want to like Neverwinter, but I keep losing interest, and I think I know why.
No pet class. Sure, we get companions, but in some cases, you can pretty much forget that they exist. Especially once they're max rank and you can't do anything to upgrade them anymore.
You can't give them position commands, you can't set stances, you can't even have an influence on when they use their abilities.
That's what I feel like this game is missing, a class that commands minions/companions.
In one particular superhero MMO that's gone, I could have a necromancer with 7 undead summoned at a time, all following separate commands. Now that was fun, and added a great element of strategy.
Here's hoping we see some classes added that have some sort of summoning abilities, to bring my interest in again. Right now, it's waning.

just look up dungeon & dragons 4.0 classes
For instance Necromancer isn't it's own class, but a branch of Wizard/Cleric.
Just like Beastmaster is a branch of Ranger.
Also, it's been alluded to by devs that the next two classes will be Ranger (archer) and Scourge Warlock (possible demon summoning here)
I like the sound of scourge warlock.
powerful sword, decent ranged magic (eldritch blast), AoE (hellfire blast), etc
Not to mention the fact that Hexblades have 3 paths to choose from, and the one path gives them a life-stealing blade and attacks.
Well, I like the idea of summoning demons, that'd make this game more interesting.
Cant it have both skill trees?
Not how they have been operating here.
Look at fighter; In the PnP game, you make a fighter and can take whatever abilities and end up with what you end up with.
There are two different build options/suggestions in the PHB, but a fighter is a fighter.
In this game, the build options are the classes. Those fighter options in the PHB? Guardian Fighter or Great Weapon Fighter.
A "Beastmaster" ranger is a specific build type, just like 2-weapon or archer. They insert the archer as the class and that is that. You will have different options for feats and powers and whatever paragon abilities, but everything is working towards you being an archer, not some pet class.
Unfortunately, this is a multiplayer game, they want us to group with other people, not command a small army of our own, so I can't see them ever introducing this.
I know some of these are not basic classes, but they can be made in D&D, so I see no reason why they can not eventually become class for Neverwinter.
I could live with the CW having a summoning option. Anything to add some control and strategy to it.

Edit: What? Class balance? Pah..
I made the joke to my D&D friends that when this game releases Warlocks, there are going to be a lot of confused and angry former WoW players.
CW vs GWF comes to mind.
Hahahaha.
