Anyhoo, it's nearing 2am and I need sleep, regardless of how much I like chatting Huntery stuff

Thanks for the chat, folks <3

Those are BUFFS on the RAID. :P They are still considered differently than straight damage-dealing abilities, which is the point that you've seemed to miss. :? I don't think I've missed the point at all... I agreed that they're not straight damage-dealing abilities... I am quite happy that we will ...

I was basically forced into healer by my guild but I fell in love with it after a while. Now, I'm actually falling back in love with being a hunter and I can't wait for the new patch to come out so I can have myself a cute little OP troll hunter. lol I got frustrated with the big BM nerf and got ki...

Also speaking of spirit beasts... does anyone know what their second ability is? If they were to have a DPS boosting ability the whole question of heals vs dps would become sorta moot at least as it pertains to them... Nothing at the moment. We've got: Attack, Claw, Call of the Wild, Charge, Prowl ...

Don't have to tell me that, I've been playing a main tank healer and an off-tank healer for a good 2 years now since Wrath came out and my beloved hunter was in my eyes and my guilds eyes.. useless. I was mostly saying if you can do anything to heal yourself and keep some of the pressure off the he...

And in a 10-man raid there are more important players to keep up than hunters (ie. the tank), so having a pet which can give you a small possibly life-saving heal would be beneficial and help the healers. It's not implied that the hunter would be off-healing or anything. I see where you're coming f...

I'd like to repeat your IMO , most of the skills you've listed and have been argued in this thread are mostly based on one certain mindset.. I know that others play hunters recreationally and not as a job to raid and only raid.. I doubt everyone is choosing their pets solely on its worth and utilit...

A spirit beast won't do less damage then a devilsaur or wolf per se, but that five percent critical will boost them up into more useful territory. That being said, I can see SPirit mend being a useful supplimental heal, even more so if you have that 5% critical buff already covered, like a ten man ...

That's not exactly the point. The whole debate and disappointment is tied to the spirit beast losing its moonfire-like ability and gaining a heal. My problem is a pet getting a heal period. That's my disappointment. Not the loss of Spirit Strike. I'll welcome a buff/debuff any day, just not a heal ...

That's not exactly the point. The whole debate and disappointment is tied to the spirit beast losing its moonfire-like ability and gaining a heal. We're not talking about pets that have heroism, +stats and +crits buffs in this thread at all. Well, in a way it is to do with those pets as well as the...

I suggested a variation on the Beta forums earlier. Remove all special abilities, pop in a new tier within the talent tree called "Special Ability" which allows you to choose one. So you then have the option to take a point in Heroism, +Stats or +Crit, alongside your regular pet talent bui...

How are damage upping abilities actually damaging abilities though? Say your pet is on passive for a fight .. for whatever reason.. and you have a macro in on your bar to trigger its skill.. is the pet doing damage with said ability then? I also meant "damage upper" as far as the skills t...

I think like 3 people have had to state that no pets have damaging abilities anymore. Damage is baseline, you're going after the pet for the special buff/skin.. not the damage upper. You mean apart from Core Hounds, Wolves, Shale Crabs etc? lol. Whilst not directly damaging, they're all 'damage upp...
