I was able to complete T11s with ilvl in the 620s. Same with Underpin ?
Used clefthoof with healer Brann. Just stand near the potions and grab them as needed for your pet. Had 0 issues other than low dps due to gear.
Most hard enemies will have one hard-hitting ability that you can interrupt or stun, keeping the pet alive longer.

i use 1 pet not that dumb 2 pets
I exclusively run T11 Delves solo as MM spec with a pet.
I dont have any issues with pet threat or survivability.
Just heal them and space out the potions, use misdirect every time its up for the damage reduction, interrupt like its a M+ run - its rare my pet will ever die in a run unless I do something dumb.
Im running a bear for what its worth.
I think Iām different than most. I use a boar that I got 10 years ago from outside Org. It has a shell it throws up whenever it has low health. It is maybe not as surviveable as a Clefthoof but it also has bite so it grabs aggro much better on larger pulls.
I also run Delves as BM in Dark Ranger spec. I donāt do as much damage, but now both of my Survival Instincts (I think?) cooldowns now come with a full heal for my pet in addition to the defensive. Add both of those to the pet defensive along with Brannās potions and the pet only dies when Iām not paying attention or being stupid. 11ās are pretty easy with this setup. Iāll still usually put pet on passive so I can cc one mob out of most packs but I have no problems even if I donāt. Iām typically eating supper at the computer or distracted when running delves so I will usually just take my time and work through them vs trying to speed run.
I use any pet while switch to the tenacity spec and it seems to be fine there, but as mentioned above, yeah. Heal them.
Iāve gotten to the point where I just weave Mend Pet into rotation; I donāt look at pet health, I just heal them on a normal rotation. this helped a lot for me.
Bite/Claw/Smack do exactly the same damage for all pets. Boar bite has no advantage.
Yeah. They normalized pet damage a million years ago. There is absolutely no difference between the damage output or aggro generation of a boar vs a clefthoof.
I was having trouble with pets dying, so I tamed a clefthoof and itās much better. Still have to heal it, but not as often as other pets.
The scalehide as best tanking pet for SV is outdated now, since they allowed pets to switch specs. That used to be because it was the only non-exotic ferocity pet with a manually triggerable damage shield. Now there are multiple options, because any family can be ferocity. Iāve been using mechanical, lately.
Hm, I need to check it out. I thought the pet respeccing is only for BM and SV, not MM.
Iāll check it out tonight.
MM hunter with pet tank running max delves, with Brann as healer. No issues with pet dieing. Make use of Brannās health pots and space them out (there are weak auras to help with this). On the few occasions the pet has died, shell up and revive pet.
If you specced MM to have a pet, you can respect it.
You should always respect your pet.
I tried using all three pet specs in 11delves. I find that they all work fine. I mean, personally I prefer tenacity because of the extra defensive it provides but largely I think itās how you manage using the healer-brahnās potions; donāt use all of them at once as they do have a HoT, spread them out and along with Mend Pet, your pet will do fine.
Bm in solo contents are meant to be some sort of a run and not a sprint. I am 659 and even then there are situations where things will get hairy for me if I am not paying too attention.
