CASTING TIME: Instant COOLDOWN: 30 sec.
LEVEL RANK TRAIN CHANGE 30 1 15 Speed bonus starts at 40%. 40 2 20 Speed bonus increased to 60%. 50 3 25 Speed bonus increased to 80%.
OVERVIEW: Dash is a great ability for chasing down targets or for times where you need to lure a mob towards you. It’s especially useful in PvP, where speed is an important part of combat.
---- Dive ----
ACTION: Increases your pet’s movement speed by 40% for 15 seconds. FOCUS: 20 RANGE: n/a CASTING TIME: Instant COOLDOWN: 30 sec.
LEVEL RANK FOCUS CHANGE 30 1 15 Speed bonus starts at 40%. 40 2 20 Speed bonus increased to 60%. 50 3 25 Speed bonus increased to 80%.
OVERVIEW: Dive is basically Dash for flying animals. That’s all there is to it.
----------- Fire Breath -----------
ACTION: Targets in a cone in front of the caster take 6 Fire damage over 2 sec. FOCUS: 50 RANGE: 10 yards CASTING TIME: 2 sec. channeled COOLDOWN: 10 sec.
LEVEL RANK FOCUS CHANGE 1 1 5 Fire damage set to 6. 60 2 25 Fire damage set to 111.
OVERVIEW: Fire Breath inflicts quite a bit of damage for a pet ability, and like most magic spells, its base damage increases with level. One downside to this ability is the incredibly large gap between Ranks 1 and 2, though the difference does not seem to make a significant impact on the game itself.
--------------- Fire Resistance ---------------
EFFECT: Increase your pet’s Fire Resistance by 30.
LEVEL RANK TRAIN CHANGE 20 1 5 Resistance starts at 30. 30 2 15 Resistance increased to 60. 40 3 45 Resistance increased to 90. 50 4 90 Resistance increased to 120. 60 5 105 Resistance increased to 150.
OVERVIEW: Fire damage is a pretty common damage type in the game, and many of the endgame dungeons are heavy on fire attacks, so this is a good resistance to invest your points in.
---------------- Frost Resistance ----------------
EFFECT: Increase your pet’s Frost Resistance by 30.
LEVEL RANK TRAIN CHANGE 20 1 5 Resistance starts at 30. 30 2 15 Resistance increased to 60. 40 3 45 Resistance increased to 90. 50 4 90 Resistance increased to 120. 60 5 105 Resistance increased to 150.
OVERVIEW: Frost damage can usually be found in cold-themed places, such as Winterspring, but water elementals will almost always cause Frost damage with each of their melee attacks. Like the other resistances, you should give a general all-purpose pet at least Rank 1.
------------ Furious Howl ------------
ACTION: Party members within range receive an extra 9 to 11 damage to their next attack. Lasts 10 seconds. FOCUS: 60 RANGE: 15 yards CASTING TIME: Instant COOLDOWN: 10 sec.
LEVEL RANK TRAIN CHANGE 10 1 10 Damage bonus starts at 9 to 11. 24 2 15 Damage bonus increased to 18 to 22. 40 3 20 Damage bonus increased to 28 to 34. 56 4 25 Damage bonus increased to 45 to 57.
OVERVIEW: This is a great support move for parties and has a short cooldown time. If you plan on using this often, be sure to save enough Focus to use it consistently.
---- Gore ----
ACTION: Gores the enemy, causing 3 to 5 damage. This attack has a 50% chance to inflict double damage. FOCUS: 35 (Rank 1), 25 (All Others) RANGE: 5 yards CASTING TIME: Instant COOLDOWN: 1.5 sec. global
LEVEL RANK TRAIN CHANGE 1 1 1 Damage set to 3 to 5. 8 2 4 Damage increased to 6 to 10. 16 3 7 Damage increased to 9 to 13. 24 4 10 Damage increased to 12 to 18. 32 5 13 Damage increased to 15 to 23. 40 6 17 Damage increased to 18 to 30. 48 7 21 Damage increased to 24 to 40. 56 8 25 Damage increased to 30 to 48. 63 9 29 Damage increased to 37 to 61.
OVERVIEW: Although Gore is only learned by a few pets, it is the alternative to Bite and Claw, trading off some base damage in exchange for a high crit chance. It’s usually an excellent ability for either PvP or for those times when you’re hoping to inflict a lot of damage in a short amount of time. Granted, it’s nothing spectacular but every little bit helps.
------------- Great Stamina -------------
EFFECT: Increases your pet’s stamina by 3.
LEVEL RANK TRAIN CHANGE 10 1 5 Stamina bonus starts at 3. 12 2 10 Stamina bonus increased to 5. 18 3 15 Stamina bonus increased to 7. 24 4 25 Stamina bonus increased to 10. 30 5 50 Stamina bonus increased to 13. 36 6 75 Stamina bonus increased to 17. 42 7 100 Stamina bonus increased to 21. 48 8 125 Stamina bonus increased to 26. 54 9 150 Stamina bonus increased to 32. 60 10 185 Stamina bonus increased to 40. 70 11 215 Stamina bonus increased to 64.
OVERVIEW: After giving your pet all of the active skills you want, drop whatever training points you have left in this great passive ability. Since pets are taking the bulk of the damage most of the time, this is a very important ability to have.
----- Growl -----
ACTION: Taunts the mob, increasing the likelihood that it’ll attack the pet. FOCUS: 15 RANGE: 5 yards CASTING TIME: Instant COOLDOWN: 15 sec.
LEVEL RANK TRAIN CHANGE 1 1 0 Causes threat. 10 2 0 Causes more threat than Rank 1. 20 3 0 Causes more threat than Rank 2. 30 4 0 Causes more threat than Rank 3. 40 5 0 Causes more threat than Rank 4. 50 6 0 Causes more threat than Rank 5. 60 7 0 Causes more threat than Rank 6.
OVERVIEW: After the 2.01 Patch, this ability causes a lot of aggro, so much that you’d have to push your DPS quite a bit in order to pull it off your pet. This makes your pet that much more potent of a tank, though be sure to manage it during certain important boss fights.
---------------- Lightning Breath ----------------
ACTION: Deal 11 to 13 nature damage to a single target. FOCUS: 50 RANGE: 20 yards CASTING TIME: Instant COOLDOWN: 1.5 sec. global
LEVEL RANK TRAIN CHANGE 1 1 1 Damage starts at 11 to 13. 12 2 5 Damage increased to 21 to 23. 24 3 10 Damage increased to 36 to 40. 36 4 15 Damage increased to 51 to 59. 48 5 20 Damage increased to 78 to 90. 60 6 25 Damage increased to 99 to 113.
OVERVIEW: This is perhaps the only ranged attack available to a Hunter pet and it’s inflicts a pretty decent amount of damage. If you have a Wind Serpent, don’t pass on the opportunity to teach it this ability.
------------- Natural Armor -------------
EFFECT: Increases your pet’s armor count by 50.
LEVEL RANK TRAIN CHANGE 10 1 1 Armor bonus starts at 50. 12 2 5 Armor bonus increased to 100. 18 3 10 Armor bonus increased to 160. 24 4 15 Armor bonus increased to 240. 30 5 25 Armor bonus increased to 330. 36 6 50 Armor bonus increased to 430. 42 7 75 Armor bonus increased to 550. 48 8 100 Armor bonus increased to 675. 54 9 125 Armor bonus increased to 810. 60 10 150 Armor bonus increased to 1000. 70 11 175 Armor bonus increased to 1600.
OVERVIEW: This is probably the second most important passive skill next to Great Stamina. Since the majority of the damage your pet takes is physical, a little extra armor goes a long way.
----------------- Nature Resistance -----------------
EFFECT: Increase your pet’s Nature Resistance by 30.
LEVEL RANK TRAIN CHANGE 20 1 5 Resistance starts at 30. 30 2 15 Resistance increased to 60. 40 3 45 Resistance increased to 90. 50 4 90 Resistance increased to 120. 60 5 105 Resistance increased to 150.
OVERVIEW: Many nomadic and shamanistic mobs tend to use nature damage. You’ll see it a lot when fighting ogres, furbolgs, and arakkoa. Give your pet at least Rank 1.
----------- Poison Spit -----------
ACTION: Spits poison at an enemy, dealing 25 Nature damage over 8 sec. FOCUS: 35 RANGE: 30 yards
