Pandemonium Buff with Monk Ally

while running the new Monk set along with SWK set I noticed that the Monks Allies do not contribute to the continuous hits of enemies like the follower does. It is my understanding that the Monks Ally is a pet since it gets the buff from Tasker and Theo’s and Enforcer. The Ally’s hit should count to keep the cool down timer of the Pandemonium buff from expiring. Allies barely do damage unless you are running the Ally build(s) at least let their hits count for something.
