Below are the best Hunter pets in\u00a0WoW\u00a0Classic Season of Discovery. How to maximize your pet in\u00a0WoW\u00a0Classic Season of Discovery At level 10, Hunters get access to the\u00a0Tame Beast spell, which lets the player tame a qualified beast to become a companion. Once your pet is tamed, it can be used to attract enemy attention and help deal damage. Keeping your pet fed and happy maximizes its damage and, in general, is something any responsible pet owner should do. Pet categories in WoW Classic Season of Discovery, explained Hunter pets fall into one of three categories, depending on their health, damage output, and what playstyle suits the Hunter player. Offense pets\u00a0typically\u00a0deal more damage\u00a0and attack faster but at the cost of less health or armor. Because of their increased damage, offense pets are the go-to for leveling. \u00a0Defense pets\u00a0can tank more damage thanks to\u00a0higher health and armor\u00a0but don't deal as much. They're a favorite for PvP play because they can harass\/engage enemy players for longer. \u00a0General pets\u00a0are a mix of\u00a0balanced health and damage-dealing capabilities. Best general pet in WoW Classic Season of Discovery Wolf The\u00a0Wolf\u00a0is as reliable a pet as any other, with equally strong health and damage. Its Furious Howl special ability also grants all nearby party members extra damage on their next attack, which is a great boon to any PvP or dungeon party. The Wolf eats meat. Carrion Bird The\u00a0Carrion Bird\u00a0is also a favorite general pet choice, given its special ability, Screech. Screech deals a blast of damage but, most importantly, lowers the melee attack power of enemies in range by 100. This means Carrion Bird can go longer without needing a heal, but it could also save your life if the enemy is focused on you. The Carrion Bird eats meat and fish. Best offense pet in\u00a0WoW Classic\u00a0Season of Discovery Owl The Owl also utilizes the same Screech ability as the Carrion Bird, making it a helpful pet choice. But whereas the Carrion Bird is more balanced, the\u00a0Owl specializes in dealing more damage, making it a slightly better choice for leveling. The Owl eats meat. Cat Everyone loves cats, and anyone who says they don't can't be trusted. The Cat is a great Hunter pet option as well. The Cat has the\u00a0highest damage dealt per second of any pet\u00a0but still has decent health and can utilize its Prowl special ability to sneak up on enemies and get a 50-percent damage boost to its first attack. The Cat eats meat and fish. Best defense pets in WoW Classic Season of Discovery Scorpid Thanks to the Kill Command rune,\u00a0Scorpid has become a go-to favorite amongst almost all Hunter players in Season of Discovery.\u00a0Kill Command increases your pet's damage from special attacks by 60 percent\u00a0for seconds, making the Scorpid Poison special attack even more powerful. Even though it's a defensive pet, the buff to its poison, thanks to Kill Command, makes the Scorpid as viable as a general pet when dealing damage; it still has all its superior armor value that's second only to the Crab. The Scorpid eats meat. Boar The Boar has some of the\u00a0highest health totals of any pet,\u00a0an above-average armor value, and a Charge unique ability that adds melee attack power to its next episode while immobilizing an enemy for one second. The Boar eats meat. There you have it. You know everything about choosing the best pet in\u00a0WoW\u00a0Classic Season of Discovery.

Below are the best Hunter pets in\u00a0WoW\u00a0Classic Season of Discovery. How to maximize your pet in\u00a0WoW\u00a0Classic Season of Discovery At level 10, Hunters get access to the\u00a0Tame Beast spell, which lets the player tame a qualified beast to become a companion. Once your pet is tamed, it can be used to attract enemy attention and help deal damage. Keeping your pet fed and happy maximizes its damage and, in general, is something any responsible pet owner should do. Pet categories in WoW Classic Season of Discovery, explained Hunter pets fall into one of three categories, depending on their health, damage output, and what playstyle suits the Hunter player. Offense pets\u00a0typically\u00a0deal more damage\u00a0and attack faster but at the cost of less health or armor. Because of their increased damage, offense pets are the go-to for leveling. \u00a0Defense pets\u00a0can tank more damage thanks to\u00a0higher health and armor\u00a0but don't deal as much. They're a favorite for PvP play because they can harass\/engage enemy players for longer. \u00a0General pets\u00a0are a mix of\u00a0balanced health and damage-dealing capabilities. Best general pet in WoW Classic Season of Discovery Wolf The\u00a0Wolf\u00a0is as reliable a pet as any other, with equally strong health and damage. Its Furious Howl special ability also grants all nearby party members extra damage on their next attack, which is a great boon to any PvP or dungeon party. The Wolf eats meat. Carrion Bird The\u00a0Carrion Bird\u00a0is also a favorite general pet choice, given its special ability, Screech. Screech deals a blast of damage but, most importantly, lowers the melee attack power of enemies in range by 100. This means Carrion Bird can go longer without needing a heal, but it could also save your life if the enemy is focused on you. The Carrion Bird eats meat and fish. Best offense pet in\u00a0WoW Classic\u00a0Season of Discovery Owl The Owl also utilizes the same Screech ability as the Carrion Bird, making it a helpful pet choice. But whereas the Carrion Bird is more balanced, the\u00a0Owl specializes in dealing more damage, making it a slightly better choice for leveling. The Owl eats meat. Cat Everyone loves cats, and anyone who says they don't can't be trusted. The Cat is a great Hunter pet option as well. The Cat has the\u00a0highest damage dealt per second of any pet\u00a0but still has decent health and can utilize its Prowl special ability to sneak up on enemies and get a 50-percent damage boost to its first attack. The Cat eats meat and fish. Best defense pets in WoW Classic Season of Discovery Scorpid Thanks to the Kill Command rune,\u00a0Scorpid has become a go-to favorite amongst almost all Hunter players in Season of Discovery.\u00a0Kill Command increases your pet's damage from special attacks by 60 percent\u00a0for seconds, making the Scorpid Poison special attack even more powerful. Even though it's a defensive pet, the buff to its poison, thanks to Kill Command, makes the Scorpid as viable as a general pet when dealing damage; it still has all its superior armor value that's second only to the Crab. The Scorpid eats meat. Boar The Boar has some of the\u00a0highest health totals of any pet,\u00a0an above-average armor value, and a Charge unique ability that adds melee attack power to its next episode while immobilizing an enemy for one second. The Boar eats meat. There you have it. You know everything about choosing the best pet in\u00a0WoW\u00a0Classic Season of Discovery.
