Level 70 hunter Juanishi from the Tanaris realm is reporting that a party consisting of himself, mage, ret pally, resto shaman and rogue completed Mgt using his level 70 scorpid as a tank on the PTR.
No wipes until Kael… then we wiped (not due to pet but due to me pulling aggro off him like a moron… i died and so did my pet :)
Had one fight where pet died.. i rezzed him and then he regained aggro and we finished the fight with no deaths. Instant (and unlimited) tank rez when using a pet :)
This was possible due to the changes to the beast mastery tree for hunters and as Juanishi points out:
I can only imagine how much better pets will be as tanks at level 80 with the bonus points.
Interesting times (and party make ups) ahead!
