I'm sure Blizzard will realize that they have made a mistake if they decide to nerf the boar, and they will probably create a small patch after a week or two.
You have far more faith in Blizzard than I do. They usually do this stuff intentionally for whatever reason they cook up in their over-sugared/caffinated conference rooms. They will test it for a while and see if it works out like they wanted. If it doesn't they will either tweak it more or revert.
Maybe they are seeing too many boars. Maybe they are on a dartboard choice of 'which pet is to be #1 this quarter'.
What seems to be apparent at the moment is that ANY pet with any significant advantage over another pet is doomed to be 'normalized' back into the ranks
Eventually, I foresee Blizzard either deciding that it's OKAY to have many kinds of pets with unusual abilities and diverging pet traits, *OR* decide that we all need to have 'generic pet X' and the pet is nothing but a graphical skin for a partner object that has the exact same abilities as any other partner object.
I'd hope they'd diverge, giving Hunters some of the changeability of a Warlock. As it is, we are high utility, low specialization... IMO. Many specialized pets could change that.
