As the title says. Is the healer obligated to heal hunters’ pets in dungeons? Was in a dungeon last night and the hunter was getting upset that the priest wasn’t healing their pet.
Yes, you should heal it.
Wolf pets buff the melees increasing DPS. Wolf Howl is like having a totem down that periodically buffs melees.
Healers in my raid complain that MC is too easy so healing pets should add some complexity.
P.S.: It is absolutely unacceptable that a pet dies at Ragnaros.
Depends on how the pet is managed.
If it can be kept alive without affecting the speed of the group it certainly should as it’ a DPS bonus.
It helps, but it isn’t mandatory. Throw a heal on the pet if you have spare time and mana; much easier in raids than dungeons given how many healers will be available.
If a hunter demands that you heal their pet: don’t. Nobody likes hunters.
Ha!
Anyway, our raid chat is filled with hunters singing praise to the healers who keep their pets alive throughout the raid, so you might consider healing pets just to be someone’s superhero :3
I got manapots in mail as a thank for healing pets
(sometimes i prioritize pets over players, if i think pet will die and player probably wont) but i dont like hunters
few mine rules :
- Hunter manages his pet and dont constantly overagro
- Sadly, pet has the lowest healing priority ( if not tanking )
- In combat - heal / if not in combat heal pet only if you have surplus mana. As a pet owner, always check healers mana and heal your pet too ( if not in combat it is mostly owner responsibility )
- I d rather heal pets than warlock
- Everything is situational, but go with , you reap what you sow ,
- If you have decent gear and no problem with mana sustain, heal everything you see now full
If you turn on mana bars, a lock who is low on mana is about to tap … Or during movement whit no incoming damage:
HoT the Warlock … x1 Renew / x1 Rejuv and it is as simple as that …
If it’s a huntard he can keep it up himself.
If he manages his pet like he should my chain heal jumps should do the trick.
Obligated no you are not obligated to heal anyone. If the hunter’s pet is not in the fight that’s less dps. If the hunter has to self heal the pet that’s a LOT less dps as the heal is channeled. And when the pet get’s killed the hunter has to lose time to res and lose food to bring the pet back up to full happiness. Also the pet can do an emergency off taunt for a few sec just long enough for the tank or the healer to recover. If the healer is not healing my pet I simply pull it back and don’t use it. To ignore the pet is just lazy.

I don’t have pet hp bars in my interface as a healer. Hunters can take care of their pets themselves. If they get mad then i don’t care. I AM SUPREME!
Am always healing pets.
Especially in raids.
If you are true paladin you should always top pets

no, its not
pets do no matter, if you have super high spare mana and no 1 needs healing, maybe through a heal or two, will increase ur hps, if ppl need healing they take prio by FAR
If the hunter is decent I’ll heal his pet, otherwise I wont cus I’m petty.
