I wanna use my spirit beasts in pvp but can’t cause ms effect is pretty much mandatory. Had lots of fun collecting them over the years but haven’t had the chance to show them off.
At the very least widen the range of pets with Mortal Wounds effect. Or make pets customizable.
Bump.
/10 char
agreed!
we need more variety in the pets we can choose for pvp.
Thanks for the bump, this topic never get spoken about enough.
Yeah, I’d be more inclined for a custom set up but just making ms pet wide would could do as the bare minimum.
Just give us pet trees. Let us use whatever pet skin we want. Pick leech or speed as one talent. Pick lust or ms as another talent. Pick freedom or stamina wall as the last talent. Problem solved.
Yeah no need to keep pets into their families when they have broadened the race/class restrictions.
I agree so tired of ugly raptors but need freedom and mortal strike in pvp. One problem i see though for pvp is ud also have to choose pet race like undead or mechanical since they provide a benefit
Personally I use a rodent but still, having only 3 to choose from is lame. Would be nice to have custom pets, skins and skills.
Simply put, pets need their own talent trees.
Yeah the pet system is so outdated.
Using hyena on my hunter because at least it kinda looks like a wolf.
Not into raptors or rodents.
What I really wanna use is a bear.
Yea classic dwarf vibes.
i prefer move MS effect from pets to another ability like reworked chimaeral sting.
I’d say for MM just bake it into Aimed shot. BM and Surv can remain with pet ms, put make all pets have ms or custom talents.
For Survival, personally I’d rather MS be tied to Serpent Sting via Raptor Strike/Mongoose Bite.
Again, the main point is to open more pet options so not having it tied to our pets would help quite a lot with that.
Better yet, just bring back pet specs like we had before.
Yeah this.
Survival relies on pet alot now, specially with theirbnew mastery but yeah I suppose you could bake it into serpent sting.
As long as we get more options, anything would be better than the current system.
At the upper levels of pvp it’s even worse and there’s only one “right” answer which is an undead raptor.
You know it’s bad game design when there’s only one viable choice and especially when that choice doesn’t even match the class theme.
An undead raptor? Really… ? Are we playing necromancers or hunters? 
Undead is not really mandatory tbh. But still lame having only 3 choices out the 60 kind of pet there is.
Yea, I agree they’re not mandatory for the majority of players. I refuse to run an undead raptor but at the top levels, which I’m not, people use them. It’s the best/meta option which is pretty lame imo.
The other thing is to allow those pet racial traits to apply to the hunter in a dimished way such as the defense, magic defense, dispel or dodge in a smaller percentage.
