WoW pets – Which are the best?

When talking about which pet is the best we need to consider which content are you aiming for and which spec will you be running. World of Warcraft is split into two major types PvE and PvP. When you have decided on type of content you will pursuit than you can start with choosing your spec, gear and pet. Click here for more on Best Hunter Pet Guide

PVP Content

PvP content is basically split into Arena, Battlegrounds and world PvP. Hunter’s utilities make them an excellent class for PvP. Hunters play style will depend on his spec but in the end it all breaks down to who will gain control of the fight, and to do so you will have to keep your enemies in check. Hunter is a ranged dps class meaning while their target is in melee range they can’t do much. Make sure that your target is always at the desired distance and use your abilities to accomplish that.

With all the utilities and abilities hunters have it is rather easy to do so but when you are fighting more than one person that can be quite a problem. Most common spec for PvP hunters is definitely survival due to high amount of burst damage and survivability, MM or marksmanship is somewhat not so common spec as it offers less survivability followed by beast mastery in third place. Question is, which hunter pet will help me to keep control over my enemies? Answer is, usually Crab and Spider, and those are the most common used pets in arenas and battlegrounds. Every hunter needs to know how to properly kite his targets otherwise he won’t be able to defeat his enemy.

Spider pets

Spiders are very good in PvP probably even the best and immobilize effect from their web ability with cunning talent tree is the reason why most hunters use them. Web ability has a rather short cool down of 40 seconds and if you use it properly with the rest of your abilities it will be more than enough to always keep a distance from your target. Web is not dispelable and only way to remove them is with abilities like hand of freedom from paladin. The week point of them is that they will not produce a lot of damage like ferocity pets or have survivability of tenacity pets. They are also easy to feed as their diet is meat!

Crabs

Probably second most popular pet for PvP after spiders and like spiders they can pin targets for four seconds making them immobilized. Good thing is that Crabs are Tenacity pets and thus have high survivability.

PVE content

Most popular part of PvE content is definitely raiding. Main task of any hunter in raid is of course doing maximum dps, after all they are a pure dps class. Beast mastery dps is too weak when it comes to raiding and both Marksmanship and Survival are hand in hand superior to it. Looking at the hunter’s role in raids, picking pet is quite easy as ferocity pets will produce maximum amount of dps. Now the question comes down to which of the ferocity pets is the best, and once again question is simple to answer: wolf! Wolf’s Furious howl gives you 320 attack power with 50% uptime and it is a very nice boost to your dps. Talents of ferocity tree are built around increasing your pet’s survivability and damage of both you and your pet’s damage done.
