    Lone Wolf talent, says hallo...
    Fact (because I say so): TBC > Cata > Legion > ShaLa > MoP > DF > BfA > WoD = WotLK

    The idea behind the talent is, your dps wih talent and without pet should be equal to having a pet and not the talent.. That's the theory..

    Reality? No idea... My hunter is only 90..

    Marksman will be exclusively a no pet spec in Legion. But for now, Marksman and Survival can be petless if they choose Lone Wolf as their lvl 100 talent.
    By Blizzard Entertainment:
    Part of the reason is that Battlegrounds are like ducks.

    Lone Wolf is currently optimal DPS for Marksman spec on nearly every fight in the current raid tier. Marksman will also, according to our current information, never use a pet by design in the Legion expansion.

    Yea, my hunter is 90 so wondering if I should level him up. But I dont like pets. I like to have pets, I just dont like to use them in battles.

    The optimal solution for me would be if they made a ranged rogue spec. Tossing stars and knifes of sorts...

    As soon as you hit 100. If you're marksman, you pretty much only have 1 viable level 100 talent. That is lone wolf.


    Currently: My stable has 5 pets. 1 Crane (battle res), 1 netherray (bloodlust), 1 spider (slow), 1 hyena and 1 cat (I like them) . I only use them for stampede and utility.

    Read on Lonewolf talent, it increases your damage (which is the damage you lose from removing a pet basically).

    And yes it's good enough, it's what MM is using right now mostly.
