Pet tanks HEROIC Mgt - Blue Tracker

#0 - Sept. 22, 2008, 5:54 p.m.

Finished a complete run of Heroic mgt on the PTR with a lvl 70 scorpid.
party was:
Hunter (me)
Mage
ret pally
resto shaman
rogue

No wipes until Kael... then we wiped (not due to pet but due to me pulling aggro off him like a moron... i died and so did my pet :)

Had one fight where pet died.. i rezzed him and then he regained aggro and we finished the fight with no deaths. Instant (and unlimited) tank rez when using a pet :)

This was done without using the 4 extra points from beast mastery 51pt talent. So i can only imagine how much better pets will be as tanks at level 80 with the bonus points.

Don't you mean "how much better Devilsaurs will be as tanks" ?

Q u o t e:

Devilsaurs are too small to be effective tanks :(

Not by experience.

Q u o t e:
They're actually disappointingly small. About the same size as a raptor. Now the corehound, that's where its at for large pets.

While we don't want them to match the size they are in Un'goro, I still think they are pretty big as they tend to dwarf their masters. Pun intended. I will agree that the corehound, or whatever demonic version of the corehound you can find, are good choices too. It will be fun to see.
