My pet and why he rocks!!!



So why does my boar (BaconBits) rock?

Well 2 main reasons he does;

1. He looks cool with his undead features.

2. The most important feature would be his initial aggro gain.

I use KTM especially being a hunter to make sure I don't pull off my pet and have to play a melee hunter or play kite the mob game. With his charge ability and gore ability he generates massive aggro on the opening attack. He charges in to get anywhere from 3500 to 4500 initial aggro threat which makes aimed shot so nice when it crits since the mob can't be removed from him by anyone. By the time a mage can cast a pyro which may crit higher then 5k, BaconBits will have 8k threat in the next 6 seconds.. even if the mage POM Pyros the growl will keep the mob at his undead snout and his gore will crush them.

This makes BaconBits an excellent choice for solo grinding. However in instances its a little tougher to manage his threat. Its great to charge and off tank a second mob while tank gets first or to pick up the caster killing mob before it reaches the casters, but if I send him on the main tanks target he pulls the aggro right off the tank which saves a tank a huge repair bill..lol.. , but the healers forget to heal BaconBits thinking that the tank still has the aggro.

Well none the less BaconBits rocks and much love to him for making my repair bills only happening every 5-6 levels...
