the bears have swapped family, that is so wierdi expect many people will be mad seeing it dungeon / raid in BFA because they are clueless
Imo you are missing the most important ... and sad part about itStags - they will be the 'to go' pets of BfAEnrage and Magic dispell along with + 10 % health and an additional def timer. No way you would pass on that in group content. The only exception will maybe be a cunning variant if your group benefits from the additional masters call.
Why can't they do away with the stable and make hunter pets a collections tab? I mean, a player can summon one of hundreds of mounts no matter where they are -- but having more than five choices for hunter pet at a time is too difficult? When you tame a pet, it should just be added to "Hunter Pet" collection, which would be opened when you click the "summon pet" spell. Maybe let you choose "favorites" like the mounts or battle pets -- and those would be the first options to summon when you use that spell. It's way past time to move past the Stable Master system.
I think they could fix the whole stable slot issue by just putting pets on the same system as mounts and battle pets. You would still need to see a stable master to switch out your pets. If they could do this for mounts then why not hunter pets? Plus that means that pets could be account wide. They have the scaling tech where the pet can scale to your level and they could make it so certain pets can't be used until you reach the level where they are available like they do with titles.
I just want to know why Blizz saw fit to nerf Hunter pet HP down to Warlock Voidwalker HP? Voidwalkers have added defense and constant HP regen. Hunter pets are now tissue paper that can't hold aggro.Tank pets in BfA are just regular pets with a small HP boost for player and pet it seems. It looks like for leveling and end game content, it's ferocity or nothing for survivability.. It's as if Blizzard is saying "if you want to actually not be taking dirt naps, you have to choose Survival" which was the spec I used from 2005 until they removed it and replaced it with Rogue with Pet spec in 2016.
