Do pets matter?

Cats still have Claw. Rake is a Feral Druid ability.

No they do exactly the opposite things. Growl creates threat making the mob attack it. Cower reduces threat making the mob not attack it. You use Growl when you are out in the world questing so that the mob attacks your pet instead of you.

Go to throne of thunder and take Horridon. Any hunter spec can do it!

Or if you like birds grab ji-kun !

Spirit Mend, yea. Only accessible as a BM hunter I believe since they’re categorized as exotic.

I like spiders.

That is all.
