Marksmanship Hunter PvP Pets — The War Within (11.1.0)

As a Marksmanship Hunter, since the patch 11.1 rework, it is no longer worth using pets in Arena. Your Intimidation and Roar of Sacrifice no longer require a pet, and your Aimed Shot applies Mortal Wounds with the passive effect Manhunter. Choosing to use a pet with Unbreakable Bond will sacrifice a significant amount of damage as you lose Improved Spotter's Mark.

You instead choose between Cunning and Tenacious to mimick the bonuses that previously came from your Pet Specialisation.

If you are going to use a pet, you should use one that has a Mortal Strike ability. This is because although you have Manhunter, it is possible that the effect will occasionally fall off when you aren't able to consistently use Aimed Shot every 10 seconds.

The following Pet Families all have Mortal Strike:

• Hyena
• Raptor
• Rodent
• Carrion Bird
• Ravager
• Scorpid
• Wasp
• Direhorn
• Hydra
• Lizard
• Riverbeast

When you do play with Unbreakable Bond, you still retain the benefits from your Cunning and Tenacious talents. The bonuses do not stack, and you do not get an active ability from using the Tenacious talent, meaning that it is optimal to use the Cunning talent to gain Master's Call, Pathfinding, Fortitude of the Bear and Endurance Training simultaneously.
