I was wondering what pet is best used for dps.My horde hunter is bm spec and almost going to the outlands so need to get him a descent pet he cure,tly has one of those fire dragon thingies and a scorpion from silithus.
Pet DPS is based on four principles - pet class, base pet damage, hunter damage capability and smart pet usage. The first three are simple, the latter is not.
For the first three, you are either looking at a Cat or Ravager, unless you can get the macro working well in which case a Wind Serpent is excellent.
Then again, a dead pet does no DPS.
I use Mjolnir (possibly the most famous pet on Arathor? Bwahaha!), a Raiding Wolf I tamed back in the Hinterlands pre-TBC (no, I did it the hard way, not just bagging Rema like many other hunters did). Wolves are a much more balanced pet, with better survivability than the main DPS pets... and yet it is a rare day that hunters with similar gear to me can out damage an even dose of "Woofie Time".
Short answer? Cat or Ravager. Long answer? The pet that works best for you.
