They should make a script that caused your pet to hold back on Claw when the Growl cooldown was up. I think they made it for Gore, because my piggy never missed a Growl with Gore on auto-cast.
I believe it has something to do with the order you put them in your pet bar. My owl doesn't use Claw over Growl, and until now I thought that was merely because Growl had a lower focus cost. Since others are having issues, they remind me of when I leveled with my cat (this was ages ago though...) and I annoyed myself with Claw going off before Growl. I remember I switched places, and voilà !
In all truth though, owls are the best pets by far. Actually, any pet with Screech will do, but since Carrion Birds don't have the +DPS required (for me to think they're good), and since Bats have Screech as their ONLY focus dump, I reckon owls are superior.
Seriously, do you have any idea how nice it feels to be able to have a Mend Pet ticking on the pet when she has 3 mobs on her, and she doesn't loose aggro?
Don't get me wrong, boar-lovers, I know boars are awesome. I've leveled with them too. When you pick up a pet with AoE aggro abilities (Imo Gorillas don't really count... since you get it once every minute.) however, you understand what you're missing out on. Some would argue that it's unnecessary since FD neutralizes any aggro caused anyway. This isn't my opinion, but I suppose it gives a fair perspective.
All in all (Imo), Owls > Boars.
Happy New Year btw guys! :)
