Hi there.
What are the best pets to use in PvP Arena / BGB for BM Hunters? I’m looking at changing my current pets and wanted some others input, thanks.
Hey.
You want a source of Mortal Wounds, ideally on a Cunning pet, as those have Masters call which breaks roots and increases pet uptime. Cunning Mortal Wounds pets are Hyenas, Raptors and Rodents. VS Paladins/Priests you want a non-undead version, vs others you want an undead version as undead pets are immune to Scarebeast, Polymorph and Hex.
For node guarding it is best to have a Tenacity pet - it increases your health. Tenacity pets with Mortal Wounds are: Direhorn, Hydra, lizard and riverbeast. There are no undead Tenacity Mortal Wounds pets.
Lastly with the Kindred beasts talent, if your team lacks Bloodlust, you have a Ferocity pet. Those you just use for Bloodlust and then ditch them for the above.
Most BMs I see in PvP have: undead raptor, rat, riverbeast and carrion bird (for lust) as their pets. Sometimes spirit beast if you don’t need mortal wounds.
