i was just reading up on the growl fact and how high threat a pet can produce
is it possible that a pet could tank in an instance of its own lvl or even 1 more higher than its lvl? or would the hunter always have more threat than the pet?

Hunter melee is inexcusably awful. Hunters by their very design should be competent at melee. Nearly every issue they’ve ever had is a direct result of their inability to function in melee. I’d like to know if there are any plans to address this, as GC pointed out once a while back.

I just read the new PTR 3.2 patch notes. What is potentially exciting is that BG’s will award experience now. This may mean we can level up some of our pets while doing Battle Grounds. I sure hope so.

Just one question:
when will they fix the broken pet UI?!

Skills keep aktivating at random instances, don’t keep their stat – broken from the first day.

I still like the idea of each different type of hunter pet getting their own glyphs, with some glyph slots of their own. and the glyphs could boost their special abilities, or one of the abilities that they get from their talent tree.

I think it would be cool if hunters could get a pet that has an aoe fear, or some other interesting form of cc.

Has Blizzard ever considered letting Blacksmiths make armor or weapons for pets??? An armored riding bear has armor, at least it “looks” like it has armor! How about adding steel pet claws, or some sort of bracers that buffs spell ability for spirit beasts, or maybe some sort of chest armor. Maybe you would have to go through a quest or add it to the BM tree! The Battle Wolf from Hellfire has an armor look, maybe only make those beast that “look” like they have armor or are considered an “elite” pet be able to use armor, idk but I think it would be very cool!

I also like the ability for your pet to be out while riding on your “riding” mount!

Better buff food for pets, how come they can’t get the same buffs as you do when eating?

My 2 cents!

I HAVE SOLUTION TO ALL PVP PROBLEMS.

No matter WHAT class you roll.

When you enter a BG, you can not use special talents. You are naked. You can not eat/drink, but can bandage. You are given all given a stick, a rock and a shield. Melee, range and defensive abilities respectively.

Booyah. Everything fixed.

I hear ya Ryai but my hunter is a good gold farmer but as wanting to pvp only occasionally and only for certain pieces of gear.. Scare beast should be instant cast. Lately seems that hunters are the new squishy’s !! have seen clothies or casters with more hp and defenses then alot of hunters!!!! Hell with the enchants trinkets defense bubbles blinks teleports and potions and they said hunters had most of the advantages.. And dont forget fears and polymorphs psychic screams!! yet we cant have a decent melee buff or decent trap a good functioning disengage. But all hunters opponents have one plan of attack run straight to hunter rape and repeat.
And our little friends the rogue stealth stun lock kill laugh at you and vanish. Yes our Pets need to be to be strengthen up and our defensives need much improvements which could happen then we will get another 18 nerfs Blizzard needs to work on the balance of the game and figure out our class..

Well don’t you remember Scare beast? They were gonna make it instant? And people COMPLAINED? And some idiot druid was all oh we’d get chain feared! And it’s like holy hell what, Scare Beast has what a 30sec cd on it? Howl of Terror is just as strong, can be made instant cast and has about the same cd :/

[then ofc there's banish, I can chain banish, fear targets. No one complains about that]

Lately I’ve barely bothered to play Ryai at all, not just cause of this.

I’m getting tired of being owned by everything constantly.
