I am on PTR, and the one thing i’m noticing when duelling decent players is that your pet is GONE in a flash. Mend Pet does naff all. One Dk killed the pet through mend pet like it was cake. Exhileration does help, but rrremember that it has two purposes, and spending on your pet while you at 90% hp is suicide sometimes. The pet design has failed.
One BM hunters random AoE took out my pet in three seperate duels through mend pet in the opener. Hilarious stuff really. PvP is NOT something we will be able to do as SV. I know in TWW to just focus pets in BGs, but in a proper setting you are extra screwed because they are REALLY easy to kill now, and to have your healer babysit your pet is not good.
