So how are the pet-based builds in this game? Does it have something like the Lazy Pokemon build in Grim Dawn, in which you literally let all your pets kill stuff while you run around collecting loot? Or something like D2 Necromancer class for example, in which you have a lot of minions tanky enough to survive more than 1 boss's spells while damaging enough on their own?

Every class has or is slated to have some minion skills. I basically never play pet-centric builds in these games, so I’m not sure how they play exactly here, but there are plenty of minion skills and lots of minion builds posted on the official forums.

Primalist has a number of builds based around having a few durable, powerful minions. A lot of the passives and skills really encourage fighting alongside your minions or poking from behind them with a spear, though I think a lazier approach is possible.

Necromancer can get big armies of wraiths and skeletons, though I don’t know how they actually play. I’m sure you can avoid ever having to attack by yourself, but I strongly suspect you’ll probably want 1-2 support skills to boost your minion’s damage or increase your own defense.

That's good to know, and googling some videos show some delicious stuff, thanks a lot!

BTW can you confirm how the current respeccing works btw? Googling just shows old stuff, or player complaints, etc. So I don't really get how it works now, especially because I haven't bought the game yet.
