Wanting to go Hunter again, but Confused

[Mithlek]

I initially wanted to come back to the game with my old favorite class: BM Hunter... but after some time in game, that old love never came back and I dropped my baby hunter. I have since leveled a Worgen kitty Druid up to level 61 (Verothne on Arygos), and I'm now feeling bored.

What bothers me the most is that while leveling all the time, every moment I saw another hunter, I felt an old ache... like I wanted to drop my Druid, and go back to familiarity of Hunters. I'm just all wound up now, that I cant even force myself to use my Druid any longer - even though I adore her, and have accomplished a lot - mostly learning new zones well, and never having died at all, even though I've restricted myself to questing.

Another irk that raising here, is a odd one. I know that a Hunter's stable's have been raised to 25... but I always find it daunting to fill that space, as well as forming a bond with each of them... @.@

I am one of the hunters that actually bonds with my pet as another person, of sorts. But, I do know at max, I can only hold a bond on... 5 pets max, anything over that becomes awkward, especially if I leave that pet in the stables for a good while.

Would it be odd for a hunter to have a limited number, like 3 - 5 pets that can handle anything together? I'd count the starter pet, as it's possibly a close pet your baby hunter initially bonded with even though a hunter can only in-game Tame at level 10 and up.

Do any of you have any suggestions as to what I should do?

I don't think that would be odd at all. Many of my alt hunters only have a handful of pets since that's all that bonds with them. You don't need to fill all 25 spots just because they're there. Go ahead and stay with just a couple pets if that's what you want.

I don't think its odd at all. I honestly don't think I've ever filled any of my hunters' stables with pets. I always have at least three or four open spots.

Some of my pets aren't even ones I bonded with at all. Sometimes its just a whim tame of a nice rare and I feel bad releasing them, even though they just 'rust' in the stable.
