Quote:Well pets are designed (especially if you are beast spec) to make sure they hold aggro on the hunter. The hunter, if they don't use FD, is one of the highest aggro classes in the game since they don't mitigate it at all really, they just have 130% cap from being at range. So if the pet can hold vs a really high aggro hunter it can hold vs just about anything. Especially all these classes with talents that reduce threat.
I think the real issue is that the pet can do this while the hunter still puts out nearly as much damage (or more damage) than another spec of hunter, I assume that raid tank pets are from beast hunters.
Even with that in mind, it's ludicrous that a semi-controlled pet can tank as effectively (though maybe not as efficiently) as a player character.
If it means that Beast Mastery Hunters will have to learn to limit their aggro production in solo content, so be it.
ArrayPaladins were not meant to sit in the back of the raid staring at health bars all day, spamming heals and listening to eight different classes whine about buffs.[/quote]
