I was just wondering, which is the better tank pet, if they both had the same skills that they were caught with? Thank you.

    Cub has more HP, and better mag defense. Many bosses have higher mag atk than phys atk.

    And many have physical attacks only.... And golem has far higher attack.
    Anytime you really need a tank, you will be spam healing, at which point, the pet attack matters, since it will dictate how fast you will get the mob killed.

    As you say, any pet will work for regular 1-1 grinding.

    I have yet to see anyone rattle off any bosses that are melee only. Most of the ones I look up that aren't world bosses have magic, and many of them are higher magic atk than phys atk. Even if they switch 100% to melee, the slow golem has to spend more time in it's aggro range than most any other pet where it would trigger a magic attack or two. If you have to move a boss, not only do you have to deal with moving yourself while healing, but having the boss throw some magic at your pet as well.

    Tough is a short term buff skill that can reduce up to 50% damage for 15 seconds. Threaten can reduce enemy's physical attack by up to 36% for 15 seconds. Either of these can buy time to attack and they come on the bears. http://snowbloom.110mb.com/pr.htm
