@Crews-Prowl and cower should be two skills you put on there, just so you can keep them from turning themselves on. On my cats (yes, I finally broke down and tamed a cat for my troll. I feel so dirty) and my spirit beast, I have the other two spots filled with heart of the phoenix and call of the wild, so I can activate them manually. I haven’t had any problem with heart of the phoenix ressing my pet, as long as I click the ability before the pet’s corpse despawns in the middle of a raid.

Just wondering on the ferocity build, for my cat, what do you suggest for the 4 moves to put on the action bar? Or is there a way to get more moves up..
I’m starting to do more Heroics and Raids..With the build i currently have he seems to die easier, so i will try this build to see if he can hang in there longer..Thanks for any input you might have..

@Rilgon OK…..I forgot something there. If your healers keep your pet up, it is not so critical. I was thinking of a 25man that I had done recently where we were missing some of our normal healers. The replacement healers were not as used to keeping pets up. So you are correct. Sorry I forgot to put that in originally.

@ Rilgon – In all honesty I think it may be one of the ones to test. I think Wolverine Bite works best if you are a deep BM hunter; my own pets frequently get to use Wolverine Bite a lot and it crits a lot, and when it crits, it crits for well over 1000 non-buffed. I’m not sure what results a non-BM hunter may get but I think it’s at least worth a training dummy test!

Also, Pike, how worthwhile would you say Wolverine Bite is? I’m loathe to take a point out of Feeding Frenzy to put it into Wolverine Bite if I decide to start using Oona in raids (for RoR). Is it worth the DPS dip?

@Gunsnbutter Ayamiss has no problems at all in 10-man Naxxramas, even when stinging Heigan in the butt.

Although my raiding team really loves her, as do I. <3

OK. Don’t know if someone else mentioned it (if so, this will be for emphasis instead of knowledge) but Lick Wounds? If you don’t have it, you WILL have trouble keeping your pet up and will burn mana rezzing him or suffer without the DPS of having your pet active. Please people, as a hunter and as an officer who gets tasked with helping other hunters…..take this talent for your pets! Esp BM hunters!
@ Pike: Nice job on the post! Thanks. Yours is one of the sites I recommend to hunters. Esp new hunters or ones who have not played for a while. Keep up the great work! Hunters Huzzah!

@Pike – Nothing to worry about, it just ruined my attempt to be witty.

@ Shagrat – Sorry it took so long for your comment to show up, my spam filter automatically filters comments with more than a couple links. If it didn’t, it’d be a regular Spamtopia around here. Much apologies!

@ Delbin – I am one of the few hunters that doesn’t really do the whole gorilla thing. Did I try it? Yes. Was it awesome AoE grinding heaven? Yes. But was it my style? No. I’m a hunter, not a mage. I like shooting things down one at a time. So that is what I did all the way to 80 =) It was slower but it was my own choice, and preference.

@ Rilgon – Ah, my apologies, I will look into changing that >.>

My OCD-ness compels me to point out that it’s called Rabid, not Rapid <3

I’ve been speccing my ferocity/cunning pets the same way except that instead of Great Resistance, I put the last point into Stamina. Might try respeccing one pet and see if it makes a difference.

@Delbin- I love my gorilla too, but my cat and owl keep calling me back to them after awhile. ‘Course it might help if PetEmote had more than 2 emotes for the supermonkeys.
