US F2p/29 hunter pet dilemma

[BALLISTIKZ]

So on my little goblin huntard I first roll with the Kurken corehound for the bloodlust

but once that expires the core-hound is useless
So do I go with spider for the extra slow or the carrion vulture for the mortal strike debuff? I dont know if 25% healing is strong enough though...maybe if it was 50% then we would be talking

I am leaning more and more against the slow because it kinda forces a gcd for druids and an extra slow is always nice to have. what say the hive?

In Arenas it might be nice to have the extra slow, but in normal BGs, I would say Mortal Wounds. I suppose the downside is not being able to chase down and finish droods, but the upside is healing mitigation, which is almost essential in getting the KB on any other class. Especially healers.

If your using a Corehound you must be BM spec'd. That said, why not a Chimera which has a slow but also has an AOE attack which is useful for getting stealth's out of hiding. I also find the Chimera's slow seems to pop from a further distance if on auto than the Spider which I quite often find I need to pop manually if from range.
I prefer Chimera as BM and the Spider for Surv spec.
My second pet is a Scorpid for the healing debuff which is equivalent to the Vulture, which I take out in arena's with healers or bg's where you get nasty healers that just won't die. In those situations, away goes the Chimera and out comes the Scorpid.
I personally wouldn't waste time with the Corehound. It has a very limited use in bg's with the Haste buff.
Hence I haven't voted as I would say Chimera over Spider.

most of the time chimera most of the time.
