At 19 hunters can have up to 5 pets now (4 in stable + 1 out). As far as i can remember there are only 6 pets that are even worth thinking about, each has there own useful (some more than others) ability. There are also a couple of pets (cat + raptor) which have 9 - 12 sec dots but as hunters have serpent sting these pets are a waste of a useful ability imo.
Ravager
Ravage - 2 second stun (with [rank] dmg) from melee range with a 40 second cooldown.
Bat
Sonic Blast - 2 second stun (with [rank] nature dmg) from 20 yard range but with a 1 min cooldown.
Spider
Web - Prevents movement for 4 seconds from 20 yard range with a 40 second cooldown.
Hyena
Tendon Rip - Reduces movement speed by 50% for 6 sec (with [Rank} dmg) from melee range with a 20 second cooldown.
Serpent
Poison Spit - Reduces the target's casting speed by 25% and does [Rank] nature dmg for 8 sec from 30 yard range with a 10 second cooldown.
Bird of Prey
Snatch - Disarms opponent for 6 seconds (with [rank] dmg) from melee range with a 1 minute cooldown.
Personaly in a pug i roll with a Hyena for the awesome slow on a 20 sec cooldown. The only time i switch is if i come across a good druid FC or work in a premade (or get bored lol). Depending on the opposition makeup i usually use a ravager to stun FC or interupt heals.
As you can have 5 of these (with no xp worries) i would suggest getting all except either the serpent or bird of prey. Their abilities tend to be less adaptable than the others. The serpent is useful for rare occasions (usually in arenas) where you are up against mostly casters. The bird is useful mostly in Hunter v Hunter where the disarm takes thier weapons (ranged as well now). In the end it just comes down to what suits your playstyle best, so get a few different pets and see what you like best.

I want to get a ravager for my hunter but she is already 19. How do I level the ravager up to 19? Should I wait for 3.2 and turn off xp, or will that prevent the ravager from getting xp? In the meantime, could I just go kill mobs with the ravager that are just barely grey for me? I mean, will the ravager still get xp from that mob, or does the ravager only get xp when I do? Could I have the ravager attack something that is green or yellow for me and then move out of range so I don't get xp but it does?

Unfortunately you will have to wait for 3.2 if you dont want to get xp yourself. In the current patch your pet gets a % of the xp that you get (this % can be modified by getting a higher lvl to kill mobs for you) therefore you cannot lvl your pet without getting some xp yourself

This will be the same situation i am in if i want to get a new pet.
If i turn xp off for myself then my pet wont get xp either right? Therefore you basically had to choose all the pets at the start well before lv 19...sucks.

Patrick said:As a (former) druid FC I can tell you that stuns are _far_ more dangerous than snares - cause I've only one counter for it ( trinket ). I've successfully out run no less than 5 hunters with spiders - on the other hand a stun is enough for the sprinting rouge to catch up to me.
and ofc - stuns interrupt heals
Using amazingly retarded narcoleptic adhd sufferers in an example doesn't make for a strong example.
Or did you mean 5 hunters ever?
