How do I choose the best WoW pet for me?
When talking about which pet is the best we need to consider which content are you aiming for and which spec will you be running. Entire content of World of Warcraft can be split into two major segments, PVP and PVE. Depending on which content you will be aiming for you will have to choose your spec, gear and of course, your pet. Click here for more on WoW Best Hunter Pet
PVP Content
Arena, Battlegrounds and world PvP are three aspects of PvP content, with first two being way more popular and organized. Hunters are an amazing class in PvP with great utilities for it. Your play style will depend on your spec and in PvP it all comes down to gaining control of the situation, and because of that you will have to keep your enemies at range and in control. You will be able to produce large amounts of damage to your foes as long as you can keep the range from them but once they get in melee range tables can turn. Keeping that in mind you will always have to keep distance from your target.
Disengage, traps and various shoots can make this happen but sometimes that is just not enough. Best spec for PvP at this point is Survival with Marksmanship on the close second place; beast mastery on the other hand isn’t really that good. Question is, which hunter pet will help me to keep control over my enemies? Most hunters go with spiders and crabs, and that is for a good reason. Every hunter needs to know how to properly kite his targets otherwise he won’t be able to defeat his enemy.
Spider pets
Spiders are very good in PvP probably even the best and immobilize effect from their web ability with cunning talent tree is the reason why most hunters use them. Your own abilities and web ability with 40 second cool down should be more than enough to give you control over your enemies’ movement. Web will cause your target to become immobilized for four seconds and this effect is not dispellable. The week point of them is that they will not produce a lot of damage like ferocity pets or have survivability of tenacity pets. Feeding them should not be a problem as they are meat eaters!

Crab pets
Crabs are probably second most used pets in arena and have similar unique ability to spiders called pin, which will also immobilize target for four seconds dealing nature damage to them, however, this effect is dispelable. Nevertheless, crabs are tenacity pets and will be a lot harder to kill than spiders.
PVE content
Raiding is most popular and fun aspect of PvE content. Hunter is a pure dps class and doing maximum dps in raids is their job. Beast mastery dps is too weak when it comes to raiding and both Marksmanship and Survival are hand in hand superior to it. Best pets for PvE hunter are ferocity pets as their talents are all about dealing damage or enhancing it. Deciding on which pet is best for PvE content is easy and it is definitely wolf because he is superior to other ferocity pets! Wolves’ special ability will raise both their and your attack power by 320 for 20 seconds with 40 seconds cool down, which is really amazing. Ferocity tree will provide additional damage boosts alongside survivability to make sure your pet will stay alive during any encounter.
