I should know this. Or I should find the answer out there easy. But I don't, and I haven't (and the one google search I made directs me to the O boards, and they are blocked at work).
I'm level 70 and have had King Bangalash since level 43. As my hunter was my first toon, I made some stupid choices for his training points as I leveled. It hasn't hurt me much, but I know now that as I'm working on gearing up, I need to address my pet's abilities.
I remember reading somewhere that if you respeced King B, he would lose his Cobra Reflexes. Now - I know I can train CR because I learned it from my Pet Trainer. I just want some affirmation that when I respec KingB, I can address my former mistakes and not lose anything "special" about him. Is this right?
Thanks for helping me stay off the path to Noobville.
PS - any cookie cutter pet builds for PVE/Heroics/Kara out there?

Yes, you can respec your pet and retrain him with cobra reflexes. You can 'untrain' him at any pet skills trainer.
Have you tamed any additional pets since King B? I'm hoping you stabled him and picked up other pets to learn the skills you can only learn from them. Go read up at Petopia.

The cookie cutter beastmastery build is (or has been) best for DPS in raids. I use that build. Its also shown in the FAQ linked at the top of the forum. With the latest patch change to growl there's some discussion that marksmanship might be better but I've not seen any data on that yet.

Yes - i have been stabling/training as I go along, so I'm caught up there.
As for the cookie cutter build, I meant the "pet" - not me (I'm a cookie already). I.E. Greater Stam > Natural Armor > Whatever.
Thanks!

There have been a few threads on where to spend your pet's training points. I believe the consensus is max out stamina first, then go for a focus dump damage skill. For cats that means bite or claw. Next pick up dash for your cat. Prowl is great for PvP but mostly useless in PvE. Spend the balance of your pet talent points on armor. Since growl is free max that out too.
If you take him on instance runs, consider respecing him and putting the talent points used above in armor into whichever resistances are most beneficial.

To the OP:
You may have seen an extremely old post suggesting that you lose Cobra Reflexes when you retrain your pet.
This used to be the case, ages ago when King B was the only pet to come with CR, and it wasn't trainable.
This is back when different pets had different attack speeds, and I believe even different running speeds.
Now, you lose nothing when you re-train.
I trained my pet:
- damage-dealing abilities / skills that you like, to max rank.
- Cobra Reflexes and Avoidance (both ranks)
- 2 ranks of each resistance school.
and I think that leaves enough for rank 5 or 6 stamina and rank 3 or 4 armor.
This left me with what I consider a good all-round pet. for solo / farming when he tanks, and PvP / instances where he takes very little damage.
