Scattered Shots: Why certain pet families are so popular
"Scattered Shots is for Hunters. David Bowers is caught in a Freezing Trap this week, so Daniel Whitcomb -- who did not set the trap, he swears to the Light -- is substituting for him. You hear it pretty much all the time if you've ever slightly dipped into the world of Hunters. If you want to play in the big leagues, conventional wisdom says you're pretty much stuck with a select handful of pet types (also known as pet families): Ravagers, Cats, and Raptors for PvE, Scorpids for PvP. But do you know why those pet families are so desired. What it really comes down to is Hunter roles and abilities. DPS: The PvE Hunter pet's raison d'etre. In PvE, a Hunter has one role: DPS. Yes, he can bring a little bit of extra utility in the form of traps, dispelling, mana drain, pet off-tanking, and Misdirection, and I shall not deny that, but his ultimate role is to make sure the boss dies fast by optimizing his DPS. One aspect of Hunter DPS is their pet, especially if they are Beastmastery specced. So in order to do the best DPS they can, a Hunter must get a pet who turns out the best DPS. Ravagers, Cats, and Raptors fill this role the most readily, for two reasons. The first reason is their base damage. Each pet family will have innate modifiers as compared to a baseline of their DPS, HP, and AC. Sometimes it will be a positive modifier, sometimes a negative modifier. In the case of the aforementioned Cats, Ravagers, and Raptors, they all have a +10% modifier to their DPS, which means that they will do more base DPS than most other pet families. The second reason is their skills. Each of these pet families also has a focus dump.
Quite a few pure DPS hunter builds will include one of two talents that provide extra focus to a pet: Go for the Throat and Bestial Discipline. With these abilities in play, chances are your pet will eventually have some excess focus to get rid of. When that time comes, what they need is a focus dump: That is, an instant-cast damage ability that has no cooldown (apart from the global cooldown). Raptors and Cats have this in the form of Claw, while Ravagers have Gore. They also all have Dash, which means they can close with the enemy and begin DPSing quickly. All of this means that they will always be able to use their focus to churn out as much damage as possible, thus contributing to their master's main role in a raid or group. Cleanse and Abolish Poison: Why Scorpids are the kings of PvP pets. In PvP, a Hunter is still considered a DPSer, but the fact of the matter is that PvP opponents are bit more wily and have better self-preservation instincts than your average PvE mob. wow gold They won't just stand there and get tanked while you plink them with your shot rotation. Thus, in this case, you need to use your utility a bit more often. Scatter Shot and traps play a large role in PvP for a Hunter for sure, but Viper Sting may be one of the Hunter's most infamous and useful Arena abilities. wow gold The problem with Viper Sting is that it can be dispelled rather easily by both Paladins and Druids, taking away a major part of a Hunter's ability to counter them in the Arenas. Improved Stings is one way to deal with this, but it doesn't always do the trick. The other way to deal with this is by stacking additional poisons.
wow gold While you can do this with Snake Trap, there is the problem of luring the Paladin or Druid into the trap in the first place, and the fact that you may need to save your Trap cooldown for Freezing or Frost Traps. Luckily, there is one other option in this case: the Scorpid pet. Scorpid Poison is the secret to the success of many an Arena hunter. world of warcraft gold It is a Poison-based DoT that stacks up to five times. What this means is that if you let your Scorpid stack it on your target and then let off a Viper Sting, Your Paladin will have to Cleanse the target up to 6 times (possibly even more with Improved Stings) to get the Viper sting off. Likewise, a Druid's Abolish Poison will have to tick up to 6 times (that's more than one cast worth of ticks) to rid it of Viper Sting. wow gold kaufen It's still a bit of a roulette, but there is a strong chance that the Viper Sting will have stayed up a lot longer than it would have had your pet not been a Scorpid.
