(Ferocity) Pet Talent Build: best all around? (2024)

I use this for King Krush and my Spirit Beasts. I've been getting excellent results and I've seen other players in this forum also using the exact built. YMMV.

Have you considered switching out Dash for Charge?

How is he supposed to change Dash? He has to have three points on the first tier, and Cobra Reflexes only has two ranks.

I also exist on DeviantArt.

Oops! FAIL! My bad.
How about something a little like this?

That is exactly the way my pets are specced. It maximizes dps the best

I've been playing around with my pet's spec quite a bit, and this spec is the one that gives me the most dps from my pet. My Rafa's a killin' machine! xD

Edited to add: obviously, I'm not BM... If I were, I'd probably got with something along these lines.

I use the same exact build for general tenacity usage accept I only put one point into Bloodthirsty and instead I put a point into charge.

I find that having only one point into bloodthirsty seems to work fine, plus, I'm a level 80 BM with a mend pet glyph. So I'm usually able to keep their happiness up without much feeding, but even so, I usually have plenty of meat on me to feed them if need be. Healing isn't an issue either.

With the extra point into charge, for soloing I get extra burst dam and stun for better agro and for grouping I get better dps.

If though I'm going into a raid with alot of aoe I usually switch out 2 wild hunts and a shark attack for Great Resistance. This seems to help keep the burst aoe and crit dam down a little.
