Re: Heroic Pet Tanking
I'm sure it's doable though, I've heard epic stories of hunter pets tanking bosses and such.

Re: Heroic Pet Tanking
Edit: oh also, dont get in near range or you'd get debuff which is suck so hence that why letting pet solo
Re: Heroic Pet Tanking
Of course, I'm doing it because I'm a pet collector, and I want the baby phoenix something awful. Didn't get it on our maiden voyage in there, but now that I know Archie and I can handle the place...I have something to do instead of mine saronite when I'm bored and everyone else is busy.

Re: Heroic Pet Tanking
It was so long ago, I can't really remember how I specced, it was when Naxx was "cool". I'd recommend better gear then T7.5, it was really hard at times.

Try this spec. You wanna focus on keeping the pet alive and it's threat.Lionfury wrote:Mind help me out with spec for tank then? I'm unsure to spec for my gorilla so i can tank solo there

Re: Heroic Pet Tanking
This is a very good point.Saturo wrote:Aye, Tough I'd recommend a Warp Stalker instead of a gorilla. Warp keeps damage away from it, and saves you the TP from Charge, allowing you to get something like Last Stand instead.
I was just going to mention that Last Stand is a fantastic talent for a pet tank and that as a general rule, I like my BE's turtle for tanking simply because shell shield is amazing for mitigation.

Re: Heroic Pet Tanking
Also why there no spec for [Wild Hunt] I think thats worth to get for tanking.
Also is it better if i juts put pvp gear full and that'd give more hp for my gorilla and able to deal tanking with boss with me just healing/autoshot? Any thoughts?
Re: Heroic Pet Tanking
I wear two pieces of pvp gear to get my pet crit immune to heroic bosses (I can't remember the exact number you need, but it's pretty low like 133 resilience) and the two brewfest sta trinkets. I'll wear 2-piece t5 if I'm soloing old instances, but not if I have a healer with me. Of course your normal gear must be good.
It wasn't too bad. Just your dps got to know not to aoe so much, as your pet can't hold multiple mobs as good as a real tank. Your pet is also more squishy than a real tank, but the extra healing from blood of the rhino talent makes up for that.

Re: Heroic Pet Tanking
However for ZG. I solo'd tiger boss just perfectly fine.
