Pet Damage Reduction

Classes Hunter
1

It’s a start, but not nearly good enough.

Here’s what I’d do…

  • Make pet health equal to 100% of player health.

  • Increase pet armor for all pets by about 50%. More for Tenacity pets.

  • Increase dodge by about 20%. More for Cunning pets.

  • Increase damage by about 20%. More for Ferocity pets.

  • Remove the cooldown on Mend Pet.

Then, maybe, pets would start to be scary again. Right now it feels like getting attacked by a teacup poodle, not a wolf.

  • 100% health of the player → I agree and would add: 120% for Tenacity pets
  • I’d go for 30% armor increase for Ferocity and Cunning (50% would make them way too tanky). And would add 40~50% for Tenacity adding a 10% more healing received.
  • Would give 20% dodge for Cunning Pets only.
  • Would give 20% more damage for Ferocity Pets only.
  • Would give 10% less damage for Tenacity.
    Removing the cooldown on Mend Pet isn’t the issue, it’s a HoT, would be more reliable to make it 1 out of 2 of this:
    1 - Flat heal out of the gcd
    2 - Keep it as HoT but take it out of GCD

:laughing: :rofl: true

The only change I want to see to SV hunter is a new focus generator that doesn’t rely on my pet. That’s the one issue I see in all pvp situations

Mend Pet lasts 10 seconds and has a 10 second CD. It’s already a 100% uptime and removing the CD does absolutely nothing. Although removing it from the GCD would be a dream come true.

The other changes would actually buff our pets into the stratosphere. I mean, if my pet has the same amount of health as me AND has more armor than me… that’s a 2v1. Also, mend pet heal scales with health pools, so more health = bigger heal since it’s a flat 50% of pet’s max health over 10 seconds.

While I wouldn’t mind my pet literally being a God, I feel like it would be unfair to other classes in the long term.

They should just buff pet stamina by 25% and lower pet rez in pvp to 2 seconds. That would solve most of the problems.

I agree, and also take less damage in instances.

Everyone makes good points. Especially about mend pet just needing to be off the GCD.

I know the numbers need to be tweaked but the points remain that pets need to be addressed. They’re way too weak in their current form.

They can be left exactly how they are if they’d just make pet Rez 2 seconds. The 4 second Rez timer is proven it’s to much in the fast paced meta
