Hunter & Warlock - Pet management

There are 2 additional slots in the stable. Integrating hunter / warlock pet management into the new mount and companion UI has certainly come up already. Let’s give the new UI a whirl and see if it works and then we can consider if it makes sense to integrate the stable or anything else into it. (src)

Hunter - Pets holding aggro

Pets should be able to hold aggro, especially tanking pets with the right spec. Class dps in general is something we are still evaluating, because honestly it’s a lot of wasted work if we haven’t finalized the abilities yet. Once we have a feel for how much dps a hunter can do, and how much threat you generate, we’ll adjust pets accordingly. Keep providing us feedback on what situations and specs you seem to pull off of your pet, and we’ll adjust accordingly. (src)

Hunter - Old pet unique skills normalization
Normalize all the “old” pet unique skills so they have more appropriate levels and ranks like the new ones and so that they actually get level 80 abilities.

That is in the plan. (src)

Hunter - Expensive pet skills

We’ve discussed a few systems for managing the focus cost, but honestly the simplest one might just be to have all pet abilities be a little more consistent in cost. We’d love to do an actual system to let you manage abilities more intelligently, but it might have to wait. (src)
