Getting a pet is one of the things that makes people start playing World of Warcraft. If you happen to be beginning with this class you should remember a few key points since there are so many pets available for your to choose.
If you are playing the Marksmanship tree, for example, you may simply choose a pet because you like looking at it, but if you are playing a Hunter that is specced for the Beast Mastery tree, you will find that your play style is going to be very pet dependent. How are you going to make your choice and what is the best pet for you?
First, whenever you ask the question of what the right pet for you is, there are going to be a dozen different responses. What it boils down to is figuring out what you want to do as you play and what kind of pet is going to suit that.
Essentially, there are three different types of pets that you can pick up. A tanking pet is going to be a pet that produces a fair amount of aggro while having a fairly high armor rating. These pets will let you do damage from a distance while keeping the mob away from you. Tanking pets are perfect for the solo Hunter and tend to have high survivability.
DPS pets, though do not survive very well, and you could end up waiting for it to come back to life if you go into enemy areas. However, these pets will inflict a lot more damage than will tanking pets, and are great if you are thinking about going into enemy territory. They do not create or retain aggro.
Average pets are ones that retain aggro and inflict damage, but do not perform either task very well. These kinds of pets are nice for gamers who like a variety of styles, however keep in mind that you can only have a single pet at a time.
Keep in mind that your spec is closely related to the effectiveness of your pet. Your pet can do lots of damage and will remain aggro if you put your points in Beast Mastery.
Another thing that you need to consider when you are getting a pet is how you are going to feed it. As far as we know, there's no kibble on Azeroth, so you are going to find yourself buying and hunting down your animal's chosen prey. Some pets have interesting dietary restrictions, while others will be happy with any type of meat that you can hunt down.
There are a lot of ways to choose a pet when you are a WoW Hunter, and if you want to level quickly, that is quite important. Take a look at how an Alliance leveling guide can help you out when you are trying to decide which pet works for you. - 29852
