Has there been any discussion regard the Doom Guard and the Inferno? I know that they have already been buffed slightly. But what about a little more? I know that these are situational pets, but just the fact that they are only temporarily around seems pretty situational already. Any reason for the requirement of a separate reagent for each pet aside from a Soul Shard? And only 1 minute on the Inferno? That's shorter than any possible boss (raid anyways) fight. Maybe it's only intended to be more of a PvP type pet then? But a slight buff to its duration would be rather nice. Even to 3 minutes would be beneficial. I'm just thinking that more could be done to encourage use of these pets while still maintaining that they are situational pets at best.

We're looking into making further improvements (though there is no current ETA) for these pets, however, specifics haven't been locked down. We'll let you know when more information becomes available on this subject.
