Re: Who do you run heroics with?
(Actually got that response on several occasions, mostly from ret pallies or warriors, but once from a priest (who was healing). Good times...)
I also exist on DeviantArt.

This reminds me....Ekimkis wrote:since our pets tend to take damage especially in the new ICC dungeons, 'cornered' is great.
Does it bug anyone else that some healers STILL don't heal hunter pets, even when no one else in the party is taking damage? Drives me up the wall! I, of course, heal pets whenever I can as a healer.

Re: Who do you run heroics with?
As for heroics; I have done heroics with all my pets, save for my newly acquired Arcturis. I know my wolf is the 'best' but honestly, I more than pull my weight in groups, I feel I am justified in bringing out my raptor or kitty of the mood strikes. :3 I've certainly never had anyone complain!

Re: Who do you run heroics with?
I have a shaman that heals quite often (read: all the time) and when I don't often heal hunter pets, it's an issue that my UI doesn't show them with party members, not that I don't feel I need to heal them.Kalliope wrote:Does it bug anyone else that some healers STILL don't heal hunter pets, even when no one else in the party is taking damage?

Re: Who do you run heroics with?
I've encountered a few healers who understand that a pet is a large portion of my DPS (especially when you're BM), so letting the pet die is equivalent to losing a lot of the overall DPS.

Re: Who do you run heroics with?
I'm sure you're healing them anyway, though; chain heal is great for that.Ryno wrote:I have a shaman that heals quite often (read: all the time) and when I don't often heal hunter pets, it's an issue that my UI doesn't show them with party members, not that I don't feel I need to heal them.Kalliope wrote:Does it bug anyone else that some healers STILL don't heal hunter pets, even when no one else in the party is taking damage?

My pets usually don't die anyway in heroics and I NEVER expect them to get healed in raids. I just grump a bit when targeted stuff, like a disease, poison, or bleed, goes on them and I can't do anything about it.
Your UI doesn't even have an option to show pets? D: Although if that's the situation for a lot of healers, that would explain quite a bit.

Re: Who do you run heroics with?
Well, my main healing UI, I use the Grid addon, so no. But for 5 mans I can see pets normally. Not often do I have a moment's reprieve to heal them, but if I do I usually throw in a riptide.Kalliope wrote:Your UI doesn't even have an option to show pets?

Grid 1 you can change that, working grid 2 is a little more tricky.Ryno wrote:Well, my main healing UI, I use the Grid addon, so no. But for 5 mans I can see pets normally.

As a tree as well I like to keep hots on everything friendly, even the unholy dk ghouls.
When I run heroics I normally have my Wolf or Bird, although every once in a while I like to bring out my warpstalker if the tank is making me mad. She's such a threat hog.

So I went back to Outland and got him:

For soloing, I use my very first pet from way back level 10:
Gerethay
For farming, I need a tank:

Re: Who do you run heroics with?
^ This. And I like to toss bubbles on pets as a disc priest, same reasoning (plus it's another free borrowed time). Shammies don't get a lot of options, nor do pallies, but between chain heal and glyph of holy light, pets do get passive heals, since they're generally sitting in with the melee anyway.Chrizesu wrote:As a tree as well I like to keep hots on everything friendly, even the unholy dk ghouls.

But yeah, it hits pets sometimes. I usually use chain heal, even if it's a single target heal needed (most of the time).

Re: Who do you run heroics with?
I practically never have to heal my pets either. The bloodthirsty talent keeps them at full health nearly all the time. They only die from a massive crit from a trash mob or maybe multiple trash mobs, never in Boss fights.
I also have never found a need to use a tenacity pet. I did all my leveling with my cat and had very few problems.
Re: Who do you run heroics with?
I would love to run more with my Spider, FatCharlie, but the DPS loss is far too significant so he's for PVP only these days. I think I will take my Wasp, Zarbi, into more Heroics and see how he does there, especially if we don't have a Feral Druid.
