I'm a level 23 veno. When i heal my pet while he is attacking more then one mobs, the others mobs always come after me. Does anyone have anyway heal the pet and not having other mobs to come after me?

    Not really, heal attracts aggro, like flies to honey

    But what you can do, what I do, is as soon as you heal, press "S" and double jump.
    Then keep doing so kiting in a circle or where theres no aggressive monsters, until your pet gets aggro back.
    Sometimes I don't take any damage at all if I time it right

    Oh, and alt+1 (shortcut for pet to attack) is very handy for that

    Your pet has to hit the other mob to get some aggro. If I know I'll be taking on 2 or more mobs, I cycle through them all until he has hit each of them before healing. Healing generates threat, but not much, so one hit each is usually enough.

    yeah, thought the OP knew that
    you can still get aggro even if your pet attacked all of them though

    Why not just heal between attacks and away from other mobs? Most pets can tank it out well enough.
