After seeing that landscape, it felt odd to fully embrace Resurrection as part of the Hunter kit. In a world where we are proliferating abilities to many families, our first inclination was to add Battle Res to a separate third of those families. To that end, Bloodlust will be available on roughly a third of the tamable pet families rather than just two. Expanding access to Bloodlust, and the removal of Battle Res from pets - In Legion, all Hunters have access to Bloodlust and Battle Res, but they only exist among a handful of families, which leads to very narrow options.Pure flavor abilities that many pets have are also staying like Trick and Rest. Exotic Pets still have their unique ability (like Surface Trot) in addition to a new ability. A special ability has been added to all pet families that were missing one. Maintain and/or reinstate pet family uniqueness - Pet family flavor is part of what makes selecting a companion unique and special, and want to emphasize that even more.They are no longer changeable, and each has a new passive and active ability that are useful in almost any situation. We are keeping the names Ferocity, Tenacity, and Cunning as the broad groups that all families fall into. Some spec-specific actives will be redistributed where appropriate. Charge will be removed, and all pets will have Growl and Dash/Swoop.

All offensive and defensive passive abilities such as Blood of the Rhino and Combat Training will be rolled into every pet by default. Choosing to put a particular pet into “Tank spec” feels outdated, so we’re going to shift all pets to a setup that will work as though they’re specced into both Ferocity and Tenacity (in Legion terms). Move past the idea of a DPS/Tank pet specialization - In Battle for Azeroth, all pets will have equal damage, health, and armor.Our primary thoughts on pets going forward: While we’re by no means finished, we have reached a place where we want to share some insight into our plans and explain some of what you might see in development as Alpha continues. As we’ve kicked off the Battle for Azeroth Alpha, we’ve seen a lot of discussion about the new way Hunter pets work.
