Pet Training (AC or HP)Follow
I have yet another question that I would like to hear some advice on. Since you have only a certain amount of points to use to train your pet, which stat do you focus on first? I have always been an HP fan but it seems like I should maybe go with focusing on AC first for my pet. Does anyone have any advice or math on up to what rank to go with on HP and AC? My pet is currently level 61.
Depends really. Leveling should try to find a balance in there, with more HP than armor. Because while you are soloing your pet will be taking some damage and armor is good to mitigate, but of course HP is more important to survive things that armor doesnt mitigate, like magical spells.
Once you hit 7 and begin heroics and raids. HP is your number 2 priority. Number 1 priority is your offensive abilities, after all your pet basically is an overgrown dot.
You want to max out your stamina talents next to be able to survive those volley spells and ramdom casts, from some bosses.
Armor is less important because, once in heroics and raids if your pet gets targeted and hit, even with full natural armor talents will only survive 2 or 3 hits from a mob.

HP > Armor at 70 because the damage your pet is going to take is not going to be direct physical damage 95% of the time, it's going to be AoE magical damage. so get max rank damage abilities, the highest Satmina you want to buy, SOME armor, but magical resists to the major ones (nature, shadow and frost for me) and you'll be golden.
Leveling though you should have a mix of Armor and HP, same rank of each since your pet is going to be taking a lot of direct damage.

Thanks again for the advice. I think I'm going to work in Bite (to go with Claw, Dash and Growl). I had been leary of using it because of the 10 second cool down and focus requirements. However, my next two levels I will be able to train in Go for the Throat and that should help keep my pets focus pool filled and the added dps wont hurt. Thanks!
To add a little I think:
- against mixed forms of damage to your pet (melee and magic), stamina will be your best bet
- against mainly magic damage, stamina will be your best bet
- but against mainly melee damage, AC MIGHT be your best bet, just because you get more out of your mend pet spell (if needed), since it heals a fixed amount while damage mitigation is improved by ac.
It depends on some factors though I think, since damage mitigation gets less and less when ac increases, so there might be a breaking point.
