said by Cows:The pet has about 250k health and dies very fast just need to kill it twice and CC healer. Also Pet AI is pretty bad as jumping off levels make him run a long way without doing dmg. But that's just what 2300+ teams are doing right now.
It's not nearly that simple.
250k health - while healer heals him, you're taking damage and blowing defensive CDs, all the while the Warrior and Huntard aren't having to use ANY defensive CD's and are all out offensive.
You kill the pet, and he's instant summoned with even more attention from the healer, who also hasn't had to blow any CD's because the pet has been focused.
With my warrior, I simply open with zerker and focus the healer (no, I'm not talking about BG's...) coordinating Beastial Wrath with the huntard and no healer can live through it so far without blowing virtually all of his CD's, significant mana, and his DPS peeling.
Have you actually played this? Or are you just reading forums that say "kill the hunter pet"?
said by Cows:Arena's before were stupid when 3v3 games were 30min+ because healing was so good, they had to change something.
Balanced and long games don't correlate. I have no problem with short games. If a team focuses a healer and lets the Spriest and Warlock free cast it's their own fault for losing in the first three minutes of the game.
I will continue running Warrior/Huntard/Dk - but it's a complete joke of skilless spam. I felt better playing Beast Cleave back in the day.
