In every thread about Hunter damage in MC, the argument about pets is brought up. Other players (non-Hunters, of course) convince some Hunters that pets are worthless and, in some cases, demand pets be put away (so sad). Other Hunters, primarily those who have been doing MC for a long time, understand how valuable pets can be in MC. This comes at a cost, of course, but it’s not the cost you are likely thinking (pet dies, more food, waste of money…). Truth is, a pet should die rarely in MC, if you pay attention. And that’s the cost right there…you need to pay attention.
每个有关猎人在MC的伤害输出的帖子里，总会提到关于宠物的争论。其他职业的玩家总是告诉猎人们在MC里宠物没用，而且，有时候甚至要求猎人收起宠物。而那些在MC有着丰富经验的猎人们，才知道宠物在MC是多么的有价值。当然，这需要“代价”，但并不是你通常想象的那种（宠物死了，就需要喂它，会浪费钱。。。）事实是，如果你控制好宠物的话，在MC宠物基本上不会死。是的，其实我上面所说的“代价”，就是需要你对宠物的控制。

I did the following write-up for the Hunters in my guild. About 3 months ago, I left a guild that had been doing MC for months to start a new guild. Most of the new crew were unfamiliar with MC, and so were wary about pet usage in the Core. I think this helped a lot, and now I see a lot more animals running around on our raids than I used to.
下面的文章是我大概3个月之前为我公会的猎人们写的。当时我离开了一个在MC奋斗了很久的公会，创立了自己的公会。新公会里的许多人对MC还不是很熟悉，所以对宠物在MC的作用总是持很谨慎的态度。而现在，我公会的RAID团队里的宠物可比以前要多的多了，我想那是因为这篇文章起了很大的作用，

Hope it helps all of you. Enjoy! (Note: I refer to Heathcliff a few times, he’s my cat)
希望这篇文章对你们也有用。Enjoy!（注意：下面我多次提到的Heathcliff，是我的宠物老虎）

Sad to say, but there is no reason to bring anything other than a DPS pet into MC. I don’t know about other animal types, but I do know that cats are at the top of the chart in terms of DPS. Perhaps a raptor could match, but I have never tamed one. Bears and wolfs have about 20% less DPS than cats. Sure, they have *slightly* more armor (less than 1% difference in damage reduction from my cat to my bear), but in MC that makes no difference when they can be killed in three hits or less (plus much of the damage is magic anyway).
伤心的说，在MC里面没有比带一个DPS宠物更好的了。我不太清楚其他的宠物，但我至少可以肯定猫科是DPS最高的宠物之一了。也许迅猛龙也差不多，但我从来没抓过。熊和狼比起猫科大概少了20%的DPS。当然，他们的护甲也许更厚“一点点”，但在MC里也没任何区别，因为宠物最多扛3下就会死了（再加上许多都是魔法伤害，护甲就更无所谓了）

Common sense point 1: At all times, just have bite and claw on autocast, other skills turned off. You should never need cower with the amount of aggro generated by an MC main tank, you certainly don’t want to use growl, and I find dash works better when manually cast (I have attack set to Ctrl-1 (default) and I moved dash to Ctrl-2 so I can hit it right after attack).
常识1：在任何时候，只要开自动的撕咬和抓击，其他技能都关掉。因为有MC的主坦克在，你不需要畏缩，当然也更不需要低吼。关于突进，我觉得手动施放比较好（我的Ctrl-1是宠物攻击，然后我把突进移到了Ctrl-2的位置上，这样我按下攻击之后马上可以按下突进）

Common sense point 2: Never use mend pet during a battle. It will reduce your DPS for no reason. Pull your pet back to your side when he is hurt and get him after the battle. If he dies, he dies, and there is plenty of time between pulls to get him back up.
常识2：在战斗中千万不要使用宠物治疗。因为这样会降低你的DPS。如果你的宠物受伤了就把它拉回来，在战斗结束后再治疗它。如果它死了，也没关系，在引下一怪之前你有足够的时间复活它。

Blizzard made things simple on us by only including a few different types of mobs in MC. Some we can use pets effectively on, some we cannot. Knowing which is which is the key to keeping your pet alive! Here is a rundown (from memory, in order of appearance):
暴雪的设计对我们来说很简单，MC里的怪分为几种不同的种类，其中一些怪用宠物打很有效率，而另一些则不是。让你的宠物一直活着的关键就是要分清哪些怪能上，哪些怪不能上！下面我会根据记忆中怪的出场顺序一一说明。

Molten Giant – Send in your pet but watch his health. The AoE stomp they have hit for about 1,000 damage, so pull your pet back once it has been hit two or three times. You can’t have your pet in there long, but every little bit helps.
熔岩巨人——可以让你的宠物上，但是要注意它的血。熔岩巨人的AOE践踏每次会对宠物造成1000点伤害，所以宠物挨了2到3次之后要把它拉回来。你虽然不能把宠物长时间放在巨人旁边咬，但是宠物造成的伤害也是不容忽视的。

Firelord – Pets own here. Best mob in there for pets, since they can pretty much survive the whole fight without taking a shred of damage. Typically, I send Heathcliff in on the Firelord and just leave him. I will make sure I am attacking Lava Spawns when they pop up, but Heathcliff is content to gnaw away at the Firelord.
火焰之王——宠物最拿手的怪。因为整个战斗过程中宠物不会受到一点伤害。一般，我直接让Heathcliff（我的宠物）上去咬然后就不用管它了。我只要自己打分出来的小火爪牙，Heathcliff（我的宠物）咬火焰之王。

Lava Annihilator – Aggro on these beasties is tenuous at best (not as bad as Surgers, but still not great), and your pet may take some collateral damage, but you can pretty much have him in there the whole time without worrying too much. As with all mobs, if your pet gets below ~35% health, just pull him back and let him sit out the rest of the fight.
熔岩歼灭者——宠物打这种怪也还不错，当然宠物会相应的受到一些伤害，但不用担心你可以让它一直咬。和其他怪一样，如果宠物的血到35%以下时，就把它拉回你身旁。

Lava Surger – These guys are all over the place, and anyone/thing in its path will take ~1,000 damage when they surge. Your pet is no exception, but other than the surging damage, they are safe. Just watch out for surges hitting your pet too often and pull him back when he’s low.
熔岩奔腾者——这种怪到处都有，任何挡着他的路的人都会受到1000点伤害。你的宠物也不例外，但除了这点以外，宠物上去打很安全。只要别让熔岩奔腾者打到你的宠物很多次，如果宠物血太少了就把它拉回来吧。

Core Hound – These guys are tricky. I have mixed results, but placement is important. Never send your pet to the front of the mob, since the cone of fire will surely roast it. The MT will have it facing away, so its usually not an issue, but pets sometimes do work their way around the front for no reason, so you have to watch out for that.
上古熔岩恶犬——这种怪很狡猾。宠物打狗的关键是位置，位置相当重要。千万不要把宠物放在狗的正面，因为锥型区域的火焰伤害会把你的宠物变成烧烤的。当然主坦克通常都会让狗朝向别的地方，所以应该也不会有太大问题。但有时候宠物会没理由的跑到狗的正面，所以你要注意看着点宠物。

Fire Imp – The AoE these guys have will probably kill your pet. Not much help here anyway, where AoE damage rules the fight.
熔火小鬼——宠物不要上，上了也没什么用。主要是AOE。

Core Hound Pack – Single target damage here is bad, so pets should be left out of this one as well.
5个熔火恶犬组合——宠物也不要上。主要靠AOE。

Firewalker/Flamegaurd/Lava Pack – These three and four pack pulls are the hardest trash in MC by a decent margin. Against the fire elementals, pets are not very good. You want to keep your distance, and so does your pet. Let the tanks deal with that damage! Once the fire guys are down, you have one or two rock elementals to deal with. Your pet can take some heavy damage if it is targeted for the random stun blast the rock guys have, but really, better your pet than another player, so it’s a fair tradeoff. No reason not to throw your pet into the fray when only the rock elementals remain.
火焰行者/烈焰守卫/熔岩元素/熔岩掠夺者组合——这些3个到4个的组合是MC里面最难打的小怪。对火焰元素，宠物不太适合。你需要与怪保持距离，你的宠物也一样。就让坦克在前面打把！当火焰怪倒下后，你的宠物可以上去打那一两个石头元素。石头元素会随机晕人的招，你宠物上去也可以减轻下前线的负担，打晕宠物总比打晕其他团队成员好。如果只剩下石头元素的话，没理由不让宠物上去咬的。

I think that does it for trash. Bosses are a bit different, and your pet will not be doing much to very many of them. That said, it’s not a bad idea to have them out for some of the fights.
我想宠物打小怪的部分就介绍到这里。下面是打BOSS的部分，打BOSS自然会有些不同，有些BOSS宠物不一定那么有用，那么把它留在身边也不是一个坏主意。

Against Luci, pets can help out on the minions a bit, and as long as they are far enough away from Luci’s AoE curse, no harm is done. You really don’t want them to get the curse, as I think they will go into the queue for decursing, and you want players to be the priority for that. If your pet is still alive after the minions are down, just have him hang out at your side while you stand at 41 yards, just outside range of the curse. Neither of you will get it, and that’s a good thing!
1。鲁西弗隆（Lucifron）：宠物可以打Luci的2个小弟，只要小弟被拉离Luci的AOE诅咒范围就可以了，宠物是不会受到伤害的。最好不要让你的宠物受到诅咒，因为通常解诅咒是玩家优先的，宠物很少会受到照顾。如果Luci的2个小弟灭了之后你的宠物还活着，就让它回来。然后你站在离Luci 41码远的地方攻击，你和宠物都不会被诅咒的。

Heathcliff usually lives through a typical Magmadar attempt, attacking the big dog the entire time. The only thing that can be a problem is if Maggy throws a fireball directly in front of himself. If he does, just pull your pet back and wait till the fire subsides. I usually don’t even bother paying attention to Heathcliff, since he survives well in the fight and I am more concerned with tranquility shot.
2。玛格曼达（狗王Magmadar）：Heathcliff（我的宠物）通常在打狗王的过程中不会死，一直放在狗王旁边咬就可以了。唯一要注意的小问题是如果狗王在他面前喷出一个大火球，那么要马上让宠物回来，等火球消失了再上去。我通常不太留意Heathcliff（我的宠物），因为每次打完狗王它都活的好好的，我只要管好我自己的宁神射击就行了。

For Gehennas, its basically the same as Luci.
3。基赫纳斯（Gehennas）：基本和鲁西弗隆（Lucifron）一样。请参见上面。

On Garr, your pet can survive the whole fight if you treat him like any other melee. Just pull him back from minions when they have about 15% life (20% if pet is slowed) and he won’t take any damage. Eventually, send him in on Garr. No AoE to worry about, just exploding minions. Also, if you prefer, you can just stick him on Garr for the entire fight and forget about him.
4。加尔（Garr）：对于打加尔，宠物也没什么问题。只要在加尔小弟的血到15%的时候（如果宠物被减速了那就20%）让宠物回来就可以了。最后，上去咬加尔吧~~~不用担心AOE，只需要注意那些要爆炸的小弟就行了。当然，如果你愿意的话，让宠物一直打加尔也可以，这样你就不用去管宠物了。

For both Baron Geddon and Shazz, you can just leave your pet unsummoned. They do nothing good, and only serve as extra targets for decursing. I’m still hoping to get the bomb from Geddon on Heathcliff and unsummon him for some fun in IF, but I have heard this cannot be done anymore.
5。伽顿男爵（Baron Geddon） / 6。沙斯拉尔（Shazzrah）：对这2个BOSS，你最好把宠物解散掉。因为很难起到什么作用，而且会增加解诅咒的数量。其实我很想让Heathcliff（我的宠物）中了炸弹后解散，然后带回铁炉堡玩玩，呵呵。不过听说好象现在已经不可以了。

Pets can be used on Sulfuron’s minions without much worry. I usually hold back on Sulf himself though.
7。萨弗隆先驱者（Sulfuron Harbinger）：宠物可以打Sulf的小弟。不过打Sulf本人的时候我通常让宠物留在身边。

Pets cannot attack against Golemag, but they serve another purpose. He has a random target fireball that does a pretty large chunk of damage (I don’t remember the amount, but it’s enough to make you say “oh crap!” when you get hit by it!). Pets are a great target for this, because that means it did not hit you, another Hunter, Mage, Priest, Warlock, etc. Don’t even bother sending them in for melee, as Golemag’s DoT stacks on any melee attacker quickly.
8。焚化者古雷曼格（Golemagg the Incinerator）：宠物不能打古雷曼格，但是却有其他的妙用。古雷曼格会随机丢一个大火球，威力很大（我不记得具体伤害是多少了，但砸在你身上时足够让你喊“啊，好痛~~”）宠物是BOSS丢火球的最好目标，因为这样就意味着火球不会砸在你身上，或另一个猎人，法师，牧师，战士的身上了。也不要怕麻烦而不让你的宠物冲上去，因为如果宠物不上去，古雷曼格的DOT就会迅速叠加到每一个肉搏攻击者的身上。

For Domo, I like to have Heathcliff hanging out till later on in the fight in case there are any issues and DPS becomes crucial. He usually dies, but he helps take the last few mobs down quickly, so he did his job. Keep in mind that the damage shield will reflect pet specials, so you might be better off just turning autocast bite and claw off for the duration of the fight.
9。管理者埃克索图斯（Majordomo Executus）：我首先会让Heathcliff（我的宠物）随时待命，等到战斗后期需要DPS的关键时刻或其他紧急状况下我再派它上去。通常它会牺牲，但是它在关键时刻加快了杀怪的速度，他起到了他的作用。值得注意的是那个盾会反弹宠物的特殊攻击，所以最好在战斗之前关掉撕咬和爪击的自动施放。

I still have not figured out the best use for Heathcliff in the Rag fight. I am thinking I want to have him unsummoned till the Sons phase, then call him out for some extra DPS. Rag’s AoE will tear him apart, but he can help a lot on the Sons as long as he doesn’t get aggro. Most of the time I forget to summon him, and since we kill Rag with little trouble, it's not a big deal.
10。拉格拉罗斯（Ragnaros）：我仍然没找到打Rag时候的宠物的最好用途。我通常到打Sons的阶段才把宠物召唤出来，以取得额外的DPS。Rag的AOE会把宠物击飞，但是宠物打Sons的时候能起到很好的作用。以前我大多数打Rag的时候都忘了叫我的宠物出来，但随着我们打Rag越来越轻松，我想这不会有什么问题的。

Anyway, sorry about the long read, but I hope this helps you guys use your pets to their max potential in MC. As mentioned earlier, it took me a long time to feel comfortable enough in MC to even summon out my pet. By trial and error, I figured out where pet can help and where they can be a hindrance. I think you will all be pleasantly surprised when you can go through an MC run with only a handful of pet deaths and see an additional 50,000-100,000 damage added to what you did that run.
不管怎样，谢谢你们看完这篇长长的文章。我也希望你们在MC能把宠物的潜力发挥到极至。就象我前面提到的那样，从一开始到我在MC能够很自然的放出我的宠物，中间有个长长的过程。通过不断的试验和失败，我终于明白宠物在哪些地方有用，在哪些地方反而是妨碍。我想你们以后会很高兴的看到这一点的，宠物会在MC死的更少，而且还会给你加上额外的50,000-100,000的伤害总量。

NEW FOR 1.7: Additional pet buffs in 1.7 will not change any of this dramatically. Your pet will be able to take a bit more damage, but you should follow all the same guidelines for the mobs set out above. I guess the biggest benefit will be increased survivablity to Rag. Maybe pets will actually contribute some decent DPS in that fight, rather than dying in the first few seconds.
1.7的最新改动中，宠物增强了很多，但结果并不会有太大的变化。虽然你的宠物的DPS会增加一些，你仍然需要遵守上面我所说的每一条。我想最大的改观是会提高宠物打Rag时的存活率。也许宠物可以活的更久，输出更多的伤害，而不是几秒内就挂掉了。
