MM and lust pets for M+

Classes Hunter

Stop asking us if we have lust pets. We have them. We would just rather not lose our 10% damage buff when we are running high keys. Some of us like our buff during boss fights. Shoulda brought drums :man_shrugging:

Bloodlust is a collective buff that contributes more than your 10% damage buff (to yourself as well), so plan on using it at least once.

Posting this in the hunter forums makes a ton of sense.

On a boss fight you lose less then 2% damage with a per and gain leech and lust. You are simply stupid for refusing to use it as MM.

I always run with a pet, i rather have the utility over the damage buff, it can be debatable during heavy aoe, but anyway MM can top dps anyway.

On my MM hunter, when I know I’m going to lust on a boss, I’ll use the pet for the boss fight, then go back to no pet after downing the boss. The exception is when there is time warp or hero in the group. You’ll gain more DPS from the lust than you will from the no-pet buff. Having a hunter in a group that doesn’t lust because someone should have drums is like going to restaurant that serves Ritz Cola instead of Coke or Pepsi.

I don’t have a lust pet. Nor a heroism pet.

I’m not a leatherworker either, but maybe I should start buying drums.

Why expend gold with something a pet can provide for free and with 5% more haste than drums?

In all honestly getting drums is a better call for MM and BM.

As you said MM loses 10% damage and BM loses the Spirit Beast (that heal!) which is pretty damn usefull. Just get drums and use them instead of getting a hero beast.

As a BM hunter, I know what bosses we want lust for. I’ll pull out that pet for the fight and if there is an emergency, I have a handy dandy dismiss/call Hati/Spirit Mend mouseover button

You don’t need drums as a MM Hunter! All ferocity pets have lust, how is it hard to have a wolf (or whatever ferocity pet you want) ready to summon? If it bothers you to lose the 10% buff during lust, you can just dismiss the pet after you cast lust (you’ll still have lust and you’ll only lose 3 seconds to dismiss pet). Or just bite the bullet and leave the pet out during lust and dismiss it after lust is over. Either way you only lose 3 seconds to dismiss the pet.

BM Hunter is similar. Yeah, you don’t want to lose the heal from the spirit beast, that’s understandable. So start the fight with the lust pet, do your thing during lust and dismiss the pet, summon the spirit beast again. Again, you only lose 3 seconds to dismiss your pet, you won’t fail the dungeon doing any of these things. Also, do that mouseover macro the guy above me posted about (Thaladrim). I imagine it does these things really fast if you don’t feel like keybinding it all or hunting around clicking buttons to get it done.

Just bring your drums bois, who doesn’t like can change to a class with hero/bloodlust/TW.

I mean, pets are about equal on single target. just don’t use one on AOE

15

16

I’m not a pet person.

Well, except for my druid pet.

They not hearing you. Keep doing you

The ignorance is astounding… you do not lose 10% with a pet as MM you pet does more than 10% single target until you are over 400ilvl.

Using drums vs pet lust is just lazy and not as good for the group. Also if you play so poorly that you require spirit mend you are not doing high enough keys to need here anyways.

Yeah because there isn’t unavoidable damage and extra 20% Reduction CD can’t help either.

Hunter players in high keys never switch pets or take one out (MM), they just use Drums.

A good player is always prepared: I barely use the ferocity pet I have, but I keep it around just in case.

I’ll take the hit to my own DPS when a full-fledged Bloodlust is something that decides whether or not my party finishes a dungeon or endures another corpse run.

No matter how strong you are, you’re part of a team, so act like you’re part of a team.
