Survival of the Fittest: You and your pet take 20% reduced damage for 6 seconds (3 min cooldown).Marksmanship and Survival Hunters should actually see a noticeable effect from this healing and can use these pets during periods of ticking damage. The leech will help keep your pet alive while questing and soloing, but it won’t add up to much healing for a Beast Mastery Hunter since so much damage is pet based. This is off the GCD and costs no Focus or pet Focus. Recommended for: Ferocity pets are best suited for situations where your group needs Bloodlust/ Heroism. Predator's Thirst: Passively gives you and your pet 10% leech.Primal Rage: Increases haste by 30% for 40 sec for the group.Each spec has a passive and active ability unique to each pet specialization which allows you to adapt to all types of content. Hunters are receiving 10 new stable slots in Battle for Azeroth to help make room for all these new pets.īeast Mastery Hunters: If you want to have a second pet - like with Hati from Titanstrike in Legion - you'll be happy to know there is a talent called Animal Companion that gives you a second pet option.Īll hunters get 10 more free stable slots!Īll three pet specializations deal the same damage and have equal health and armor.Worth noting that Quilen retain the Heart of the Phoenix but are the only pet to do so. Heart of the Phoenix, Last Stand, Roar of Sacrifice and other old passives have also been removed. Battle resurrection is removed from Hunter pets completely.All Exotic families have at least 2 special abilities/passives. For example, Bats have and Spirit Beasts have. There are 6 major ability categories distributed among the pet families so that each specialization has at least one pet option for each of these abilities. Each family will have at least one special ability.This should help with your pet accidentally pulling mobs when you try to sneak by them.

Avoidance has been changed to also reduce the range at which enemies will aggro your pet by 6 yards.When you leave the dungeon, it gets flipped back on automatically. When you enter a dungeon, Growl’s auto-cast is automatically turned off to avoid pulling aggro from the tank (you can turn it back on if you want).All specs have Growl and Dash, plus their appropriate basic attack ( Claw, Bite, or Smack).All 3 specializations will deal the same damage and have the same amount of health and armor.Each pet family will be either Ferocity, Tenacity or Cunning. All pet families have a set specialization that cannot be changed.Check out the new Shadowlands Hunter Pet Guide!
