When really it gets boiled down, I’m my pet’s healer, I’m team support (I have to run around and trap everywhere, and I’m very reliant on keeping mobile to stay in good position, the only real reliable thing I have is sick my pet on someone- other abilities just need to scale on par with this spec

The funny thing is, they do.
Just not in this phase.
Patience.
They really don’t. Hunters get weaker compared to all other classes the higher level they are. It’s why hunters were below holy priests in damage in classic at 60

You don’t see why a virtually unkillable NPC doing much of your damage is a bad thing?
Bonus point for Wind Serpent doing it from range.
Also, both the hunter and the pet do extremely good damage. Let’s not gaslight. I’ve been in situations where I open with a Hibernate on a pet, and the hunter still matches my damage as a BFD-geared balance druid.

No they don’t.
You can kill the pet and they changed the math so they are easier to kill.
The pet is a part of the hunters tool kit and is part of the hunters dps not a random npc.
Take our pet from us then you need to take two handers from warriors, poisons from rogues and can cat from druid then.

That’s why these nerfs are going to end up being very bad for Hunters. By 40, 50, and 60? Hunters are going to fall off hard and Blizzard will keep them there.
I’ve seen this song and dance repeated over and over again.

Pets are not unkillable. I kill them all the time in WSG.
We will have to hope they give us buffs when we inevitably fall off… lmao

Came here to say this exact thing. To add… the entire concept of a player hovering at range while an NPC pet does the majority of the work is an odd one for me.
if you dont understand why having an OP ai pet that u can press a single button to kill someone while u basically afk is a bad thing in pvp
then you are either A. trolling or B. trolling
Sure, when you have a pocket healer.
They’re unkillable in the sense that you cannot focus a pet down in a realistically timely fashion when 1v1 against a hunter. You’ll be dead long, long before you kill it, and are obviously better off fully targeting the hunter.
And if you aren’t a spec that can heal or CC the pet, you may not be able to 1v1 it at all. lmao

Omg druids are unkillable when they have a pocket healer and you can’t focus them down in a realistically timely fashion when 1v1 against a druid. /s
Behold, hunter brain.
Sorry you think your pet should be a raid boss that does more damage than actual players, but that’s just not very balanced.
I doubt it’s a single button.
Hunters were always strong at low levels.
They will fall off at higher levels. Hard.
The class that keeps getting ignored is Warlock.
Hunter nerf after Hunter nerf while Warlocks go under the radar.

But they don’t do that.
They already nerfed HP and Armor scaling and rebalanced the pets damage.
Your ranting about old info from over a week ago.
Also where did i say the pet should be a raid boss ?
They need to do good not crazy damage because they are apart of the classes tool kit not a random npc so they are apart of the hunters dps.

Pple still complaning about pets?? Wow… Just wow.
Have you ever fight against premade paladins in wsg with the purple sword bfd?, thats broken, they are oneshoting everything.
Have you ever been ganked by a feral druid spamming sunfire while outrange you and you dont have chance to catch them?
Have you ever been ganked by a rogue that kills you in just the stealth opener?
Hunter being op is just a copy paste thing, now that players have access to better equip, are starting to shine other classes by a far margin but players still blind by hunter.

its level 25 hunters dont have feint death or scatter shot, only thing they really do is dps and kite with aspect. i’d imagine after lvl 25 pets will be weaker

If you’re dying to ambush then that’s a you problem that’s easily fixable by replacing your level 10 gear.
Same response to players getting “one shotted” by pet.
