Maybe its time for blizzard to fix hunter pets survivability?
Ppl are currently killing it in literally 2 seconds. 57k hp, no versatiliy. 4 seconds to ress… if they let me. Ret palas critting it for 35k are 2 shotting my pet etc.
I understand its made this way to prevent us from just sending pet and hiding. But make it so pets need to be in our LOS to do any damage instead. We are way to relying on pet to have it so easily killed.
maybe heal your pet??
Pet heal from hunter is useless. When i queue demo my pet dies while freely channeling Health Funnel even after the buff on it.
okay and what exactly has this to do with pet heal from hunter?
its super strong, just learn how to manage your pet properly
When i say they kill pet in 2 sec, im talking litterally.
You don’t think i have 100% uptime on mend pet?
I mean, your healer could also heal it or maybe you or your partner could cc them or maybe dont send your pet yolo behind the pillar or maybe just feign death + camo when they kill it…
Do you not understand the concept of 2 seconds? we’re speaking 57k hp without versatility.
Mend pet is sustained healing, doesn’t help on burst. Only way to heal it is by pressing your 2 mins cd, but some classes kill pets so easy, 2 mins is way too long to keep it alive. For example as ele I can 1shot the pet every 30s.
Without versa is true but also kinds false yes the pet is still squishy with only 60k ish hp but hunter pet basicly has 40% versa in dmg reductio department since they have constant 20% dmg reduction on them.
It shows that pets in general die in seconds, it is not hunter exclusive issue.
I think I can count on one hand how many times my pet died last season on my hunter, just played 300 games tho
Thanks buddy, I always thought it was an absorb shield /s
Big disagree, I think pets are just right, not too squishy, not too tanky.
They die if you dont manage them and they survive if you do manage them.
I think most people here just have their pet on aggressive all the time and have it chase their enemies, maybe try to utilize your other pet stances as well
You heard it here guys, we just too bad to manage pets and they can’t get oneshot and are easily healed. The level 12 classic mage told us so.
Warlock with soullink allways had the counter about killing the pet, and remembering from the past and playing tbc classic aswell, healing and putting pet in a safe position was allways something important. For demo lock its kinda annoying cause its your MS effect within it^^
But on the other hands it makes soullink somewhat balanced, cause it has a counterplay. Part of dealing with it is, ive been seeing like good jungles getting their pets back easily when they saw their pet is getting focused, hunter has the tools to deal with that. like masters call makes your pet instantly charge to you. Pets getting focused the hunter can prepare to have a good potition to FD, camouflage rezz the pet etc.
Pets should definetly be killable to some degree. Specially on BM Hunter, where the dmg with perma bestial wrath isnt avoidable at all dealing consistant high dmg.
I mean you stated he should just heal his pet, so you obviously dont know how mend pet works and/or don’t know how bursty the game is. I’m just here to help you become more knowledgeable, so you don’t end up giving useless advice again next time. 
Flayed shot, kill shot, into kill shot. Wow what a sick rotation. Hunter pet is very durable and your healer should be able to heal it if you can’t mend your pet.
And later on I clarified that there are various options to avoid the pets death.
Its a heal over time, and how do you use a hot?
That’s the key here. The game is bursty. Anticipate when they burst your pet and pre mend it. That works in 90% of the cases.
Alternatively you can also let the pet feign dead or just feign death + camo = resurrect the pet.
just saying, but if you are not in los of the hunter, the pets themselves really doesnt do much dmg.
most dmg from bm comes from
pet passive dmg is not even near the top and without frenzy uptime the pet dmg is even worse
so yes lining the hunter reduce his dmg by 90%, he still can have uptime on ms though and stun you.
whether you are effectively able to line the hunter with this stupid all instant spec is a whole different story of course.
the reason why pets are important is because without you lost half your abilities and ms.
100% this.
Pet dying is usually a “git gud” issue.
I can’t count how many pets I already killed because the hunter sent it behind the pillar, without any pre mending, while I had a stun ready.
If your pet dies this way you are just bad.
If this was the sort of cases im refering to. Then yes. But you seem to be under the misconception this is how i meant it.
Im obviously not a R1 player. Im usually dualist on multiple classes when im playing so thats still far above the avarage player. Ofc i use mend pet. Of course i don’t recklessly send my pet behind a pillar.
No. Im refering to every occasion where classes with burst can instantly take out my pet. I have had warlocks litterally instantly one-shot my pet with shadowbolt. Ele shamans too.
Imagine if you could target a warriors weapon and kill it. Sounds fun?
There are better ways to go around the pet aspect, as i proposed in my original post.
You also said pets has a passive 20% damage reduction taken. I have no idea where you got that idea from, but its simply not true. My pets, has 57k hp, and no versa. Go to a target dummy and see how long it takes for you to reach 57k damage done.
I am sorry, but I never said that, maybe someone else did.
And about the main topic: I played bm hunter in S2 until 2300 and I never had much issues with that, in S3 I played SV until 2000 and I also had little to no trouble with that.
And if they killed it, it was fairly easy to resurrect the pet.
You can get a save pet res every 1 minute with fd+camo
