Your pet options get a lot more narrow in the Classic<\/em> endgame. Image via Blizzard Entertainment<\/figcaption><\/figure>

The best endgame Hunter pets in WoW Classic<\/em> are Bloodaxe Worg (Wolf)<\/strong>, Broken Tooth (Cat)<\/strong>, and the Son of Hakkar (Wind Serpent)<\/strong>. <\/p>

Once you hit the endgame in Classic WoW<\/em>, your options for Hunter pets become a lot more limited as optimizing your pet\u2019s DPS will be narrowed to just three choices. The WoW Classic <\/em>community widely accepts these three Hunter pets as the best endgame pets<\/strong> in the game:<\/p>

Bloodaxe Worg (Wolf)<\/h3>

The Bloodaxe Worg<\/strong> is obtained in Lower Blackrock Spire<\/strong> and is desired for their max-rank version of Furious Howl<\/strong>, which increases the damage output of party members\u2019 physical attacks.<\/p>

Broken Tooth (Cat)<\/h3>

A rare elite spawn that can be tamed in the Badlands, Broken Tooth <\/strong>is a popular choice due to its absurd 1.0 attack-per-second attack speed. <\/p>

Son of Hakkar (Wind Serpent)<\/h3>

Son of Hakkar is found in Zul\u2019Gurub and has a much-sought-after spell, Lightning Breath, <\/strong>available at its maximum rank, making it a strong DPS threat.\u00a0<\/p>

Of course, play what you want, but if you\u2019re a certified min-maxer, these three pets will be the best options if you want to get the most damage out of your pet as possible.\u00a0<\/p>

Regardless of which Hunter pet you choose to have by your side, you will want to maximize your damage as much as possible. When you get the chance to tame one of these pets, though, take it.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

But, most of the time, damage will be your biggest concern, especially in the endgame.\u00a0 Leveling a Hunter in WoW Classic will provide plenty of opportunities to tame new pets and expand your stables, but these options will be the best in the game. Here are the best Hunter pets in WoW Classic.\u00a0 Best Hunter pets for leveling in WoW Classic The best pets for leveling in WoW Classic are the Cat, the Owl, or the Raptor. They are simple pets for leveling and stick by your side, as each has a high damage ceiling and scales well throughout the questing process. Cats can be obtained in almost every Alliance and Horde starting zone. Owls are going to be Alliance-specific in the early game: Found in Teldrassil. Raptors are going to be more Horde-specific: Found in Durotar and the Barrens.\u00a0 With these animals by your side, they will be easy to tame and still provide you with a strong damage profile. It won't be until the later segments of the leveling process (and the endgame) that your pet\u2019s abilities will make a serious difference in your overall damage profile.\u00a0 In Classic Hardcore, it might seem tempting to get a pet that leans on the side of durability due to the fact that you want to stay alive as best you can. But don\u2019t fall for that trap. You still want to pump out DPS.\u00a0 Best endgame Hunter pets in WoW Classic The best endgame Hunter pets in WoW Classic are Bloodaxe Worg (Wolf), Broken Tooth (Cat), and the Son of Hakkar (Wind Serpent). Once you hit the endgame in Classic WoW, your options for Hunter pets become a lot more limited as optimizing your pet\u2019s DPS will be narrowed to just three choices. The WoW Classic community widely accepts these three Hunter pets as the best endgame pets in the game: Bloodaxe Worg (Wolf) The Bloodaxe Worg is obtained in Lower Blackrock Spire and is desired for their max-rank version of Furious Howl, which increases the damage output of party members\u2019 physical attacks. Broken Tooth (Cat) A rare elite spawn that can be tamed in the Badlands, Broken Tooth is a popular choice due to its absurd 1.0 attack-per-second attack speed.\u00a0 Son of Hakkar (Wind Serpent) Son of Hakkar is found in Zul\u2019Gurub and has a much-sought-after spell, Lightning Breath, available at its maximum rank, making it a strong DPS threat.\u00a0 Of course, play what you want, but if you\u2019re a certified min-maxer, these three pets will be the best options if you want to get the most damage out of your pet as possible.\u00a0 Regardless of which Hunter pet you choose to have by your side, you will want to maximize your damage as much as possible. When you get the chance to tame one of these pets, though, take it.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Best-Hunter-pets-in-WoW-Classic.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969626"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1720"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=969626"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969626\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1470894,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969626\/revisions\/1470894"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1470830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=969626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=969626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=969626"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=969626"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=969626"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=969626"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=969626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
