Legion pets Pve pvp?

[Skaiz]

Nobody has been talking about what pets to use. I've Played on legion beta for a couple months but never put any thought into it. Is there a pve pet anymore or does it not even matter anymore because most pet bonuses are gone? Just switch to Ferocity and thats that? Bonus question here, is there good pvp pets still? I know spiders still have web but I can find resources to see what families of pets still have bonus abilities. Petopia seems to be outdated still.

Some pets still provide utilities. I use a crane which provides a battle res. Corehounds provide bloodlust. Devilsaurs actually provide a healing debuff (25% less healing, full uptime) which makes them extremely good for PvP.

Yeah this is more the info I'm looking for. I've only been playing survival, so the fancy BM options won't work sadly. The crane seems like a decent choice for PvE honestly

Yeah I had mentioned Petopia still hasn't updated pet abilities. Such as saying Hyenas still come with 5% haste lol. I know the buffs like that got booted out but I was wondering if Carrion Birds still had mortal wounds, Nether Rays still had bloodlust ect. Or in other words, did any pets get their bonus ability pruned or are they the same, but without the stat boosts. Quick look around the forums didn't really answer my questions either

No, only the stat buffs were removed everything else is the same.

Yeah I decided to stop being a lazy ass and go out to see for myself. Can confirm that at least 3/4 of pet families all have their abilities retained so the rest are prolly the same. Excluding the stat buffs of course. Hope this helps other ppl, cause there is no information easily available about this.

I still don't understand blizzards logic of removing the abilities from stat buff pets, and not giving them something else or removing the debuff that other pets can cast. They've essentially made many pets useless.
