So yeah, as mentioned, I am playing MM with the Unbreakable Bond talent because that is my preferred way to play MM - with my pet. I know, I’m weird, but I’m really glad Blizzard has thought about hunter players like me and lets us have the option. Because pets are why I love to play hunter I mained it for forever, and MM is these days the only spec I still enjoy.
Anyway, yeah. My pet will just totally randomly despawn.
Like I’ll be in a dungeon and be fighting a boss, with my pet out, but then when the fight ends I find that my pet isn’t out anymore? Like… did he despawn when the fight ended, or something? Just lots of examples like that, from different things, at different times.
I’m not talking about my pet dying. He didn’t die. Because using the pet whistle spell to call him back out works. I am not having to res him to be able to have him out again.
Also when changing zones, like loading in/out of a random dungeon. Also when logging into the game. Just no pet. Even though I had my pet out when I logged out. But no, now when I log back in, no pet.
It didn’t used to be that way. Your pet would, for the most part, effortlessly follow you and be appropriately automatically resummoned when necessary. But it doesn’t do that anymore.
If this is intentional, it’s bad game design. Plain and simple. If it’s not intentional, it’s a bug and it needs to be fixed.
I think the problem is with the unbreakable bond talent, but I can’t be sure. BM and SV hunters let me know if you have observed similar annoyance regarding your pets.
