Pet families in order of tankiness (exotics not included): It makes all healing effects 33% stronger on that clefthoof relative to physical damage, compared to other pets. The 5% max HP bonus from Tenacity also buffs Mend Pet healing, which is the overwhelming majority of an MM hunter’s pet’s healing taken, so I’d tend to argue that Tenacity is better for MM unless they are expecting to personally tank things a lot.Īlso, worth noting, the clefthoof exotic ability Blood of the Rhino doesn’t just boost healing intake, it also reduces all physical damage taken by 10% (despite claiming it boosts armor by 10%, which would be rather less than 10% DR). But that’s a bit nonsensical, as the defensive implies the pet is taking most of the damage, while the lean into leech on the hunter suggests the hunter is. The only real advantage a Scalehide has for MM is a pet that gets a defensive and gives the hunter leech.

BM gets closer to 2/3rds of its damage from their pet, and gets a 50% boost to the leech from Aspect of the Beast, so their pet leech is like 10x as strong as it is for MM. MM gets like 10% of its total damage output from its pet, so the leech healing on that pet is basically irrelevant. That said, I’m still sharply critical of the advice to use a Scalehide for MM. Tenacity is more about improving the hunter’s defenses. Aren’t Tenacity pets supposed to be the tanks?Įh, not really.

Wow best tank battle pet
