How to make Lone wolf Viable

I’ve been playing a MM Hunter for awhile now and really like the archer ascetic but don’t like the reliance on pet mechanics. looking at build guides I’ve seen that no one uses Lone wolf and when i ask some people i get the answer that the utility that the pet gives you is better than the damage bonus you’d get without one. what would it take to make it not even the best choice but a viable one in upper level content?

Haven’t seen anyone leave out Lone Wolf.

You shouldn’t be using a pet with MM. The only exception is to summon a pet and dismiss immediately while casting Lust a half second before it finishes. And that’s assuming you’re the only lust class in the party.
