How I Play my Tank

The pets aggro radius is microscopic.  I tested this once with my tiger, KoKo.  The Allliance Outriders in the South Barrens had just ridden by, and I had heard that the aggro for pets was smaller... so I popped on Eyes of Beast and was able to run literally at the heels of their mounts without drawing aggro.  Normally, that bunch will aggro between 10 and 20 yards (very rough estimate). 

I suspect, from that test and other places where I've used KoKo to scout, that the hunter's pet is a very strong tool to solo pull in very tight spots.  I'd encourage any high level group with a better than average hunter to test this out... just be prepared to be wiped if the pet, even while on passive, decides to go exploring... gotta get that bug fixed...  :blink:

Interesting. So the paranoia over a pet being a level or more under the hunter causing aggro problems in instances and the like is unecessary. I've always been afraid that my pet swinging along my side is increasing my chance to pull something onto the group by accident.

Of course, it is possible that a decrease in pet aggro radius occurs only when using Eyes of the Beast. Testing a non-possessed pet's aggro radius would be more difficult. Again, interesting.
