king bang dlash is better id get him if any cat
A: All pets do the same damage
B: Get Brokentooth (Only pet in entire game currently with 1.0 attack speed)
I’ll point out that attack speed only really matters in PvP against casters where 1.0 speed will cause a lot of pushback on spells.
I’m also pretty sure pets do in fact do <,> or = damage outside of pet families because of the modifiers.
So a 1.0 speed and 2.0 speed cat would put out the same DPS with 1.0 doing faster smaller hits and 2.0 going slower and harder hits, but both cats would do more damage then say a Gorilla or Turtle.
what about a scorpion? ter higher dmg plus poison
That’s patently untrue. I was a hunter main in vanilla and there’s definite differences with pets. For higher damage (for example) you want something with a default 10% boost, a CD attack, and a focus dump.
Obviously they all have their place, survivability goes to the turtle, range to the wind serpent, PvP to broken tooth, boar, and stealth cats, etc.
It’s all about your need and goal with a certain pet type. There is no best pet for all situations.

I think broken tooth is ugly and overrated in PvP
Got Death Flayer scorpid instead - has a 1.6 attack speed which is decent enough. Takes hits better than a cat and keeps stings on in PvP
growl + claw should be enough to keep aggro. Only turn on scorpid poison vs elites or tough mobs and turn off claw

claw helps draw in argo to pet? I had growl and cower
Are you training up your pet skills by getting new ones (pets) for their abilities? Because a low level growl won’t hold aggro on a higher level mob.

you can just buy growl. You have to look petopia to know what wild animal you need to tame to get the rank spell for your pet.
I think its personal opinion really . I like the wind serpent he eat mage bread and i like it like that but i also like the bat who reduce attack power .
To each their own

dose grow work ame for al pets? like if I put it on cat should scorpion have results?
The reason you scorpion loses aggro quicker is because he is not doing the same amount of damage. Cats have a damage bonus for their family and the scorpuon has more armor so he takes less damage.
I preferred a cat over a scorpion because cats can learn dash which is really helpful. They also eat fish so I could just fish for food instead of having to buy meat.
TBH my favorite pet was a wolf or a carrion bird for leveling or even a boar.
I would suggest reading up on different pet families.
Also keep in mind you have to train new pets to learn new ranks of skills. Other than growl which can be bought.
You’ll want to untrained cower and never use it again

Get a boar with charge , bite and growl .
GG you win leveling.
cower actually LOWERS threat…its good in 5 mans
Get Broken Tooth 100% best cat ever. My hunter has broken tooth+growl lvl 4 or 5, and he never loses aggro. There’s no better pet then him literally. Also keep cower on him for dungeons so he won’t get aggro often but untoggle it for solo pve.
I will say as a mage I defiantly notice when a hunter has broken tooth versus one that does not, with broken tooth its much harder to get a cast off and I have to disengage from it before doing anything, were as any other hunter pet I can easily get a sheep off on it then continue what I was doing
Untrue on A.
Different pets have different damage because it classic they have different ability access and base stat allocation.
Example turtle has +13% armor and the shell shield ability. It also has less access to attack abilities and can do less dps than a wind serpent because the wind serpent base dps is higher by it’s stats not being heavily invested in a +13% armour but having a higher damage stat AND it having access to it’s lightning breath which can do more dps vs high armor targets because it does magic damage instead of physical.
I’m classic pets are different, but that also means pets are better or worse based on the situation.
For example I am leveling with a bird (strong aoe aggro) for farming lower level dungeons, and a turtle, to be able to farm high level bosses on my own.
Both of these pets are not the best raid pet, but they are better than cats, wolves, exc. For what I intend to use them for.
