Pet buffs vs Player Buffs

[Leirudan]

I was going through the raiding as BM posts, which a lot cover the type of pet to use dependent on raid composition. I know certain pets bring buffs that might already be present in the raid (such as silithid/priest, corehound/shaman, ect). So I decided to do a little research on it. I found a full composition of pet vs player buffs (finally) that I thought might be extremely helpful with all the questions about raiding as BM. Considering I don't know that much about the other classes since the only one I've actually leveled all the way to 85 is my hunter, the others just haven't interested me as much...

Well, here you go. Here's the link, and I edited the post so anyone can just glace at it and match it up. Full copy after the pet specific "raid" match up (leaving out buffs we can't bring). Oh, and please, if something wrong (even the author of the post said a few things might not be up to date) let me know so I can fix it.

Raid Buffs by Raid Buff Type
Here is a complete list of every raid buff and debuff available in Cataclysm, including which hunter pets provide it as well as what classes provide it.

The Pet Short List
Here is a suggested list of the 12 pets that you should have in your stable to cover every raid buff type. This list assumes that you’d prefer ferocity over cunning, and
cunning over tenacity — so that you always have the highest dps pet providing your buff. It also assumes that you’d prefer a non-exotic pet over an exotic pet, so you’ll have more flexibility in what spec to use.
Note that three buffs are only provided by exotic pets: the burst haste (heroism), stamina (fortitude), and 5% stats (kings/motw).

• Cat (str/agil)
• Corehound – exotic (burst haste & cast speed reduction)
• Silithid – exotic (health)
• Wolf (crit)
• Shale Spider – exotic (5% stats)
• Raptor (armor debuff)
• Carrion Bird(physical damage caused debuff)
• Hyena (bleed damage)
• Sporebat (cast speed reduction)
• Tallstrider or Fox (attack speed slow)
• Ravager (physical damage vulnerability)
• Dragonhawk or Wind Serpent (spell damage taken)

Hope it helps!

Definitely a useful resource! Did you know that that list actually started here? Malazee's original thread is listed in the resource thread and contains a link to the raid checklist addon, which was developed by Anyia.

[Leirudan]

Lol, I didn't, I had just been scanning through a bunch of the BM raid threads, and didn't see a sticky or list anywhere. Since there were so many discussing it, I just wanted to sum it up again. ^.^

I can't remember whether I announced it here, but as of a month or two ago RaidChecklist now offers a great number of different layouts, allowing you to choose to list everything, pet+hunter, pet-only, and a few variations of those. And of course, it's no longer just limited to the hunter class, each and every class now has at least two different layouts to choose from. If you initially didn't like RaidChecklist because it wasn't specific enough, I encourage you to give it another spin.

Also, while Kalliope says it was developed by me, it couldn't have happened without Malazee! Almost all of the data collecting, sorting, categorizing and filtering is her work! Oh, and the new checklist layouts are thanks to her too! So no crediting me without mentioning her in the same sentence please! <3
