Combat Pets
The two classes in World of Warcraft that have access to pets and rely
heavily on them for success are the hunter and the warlock.
Pets are secondary characters that you can control. They are simpler and
weaker than a full-fledged character class, but they provide extra power
and support for your main character. Some pets are offensive in nature and
join you in attacking your enemies. Some are more defensive, and occupy
your target so you can attack from range without fear of retaliation. There
are also more unusual pets with less easily defined abilities.
PET ABILITIES
Each pet has a small selection of abilities. No pet begins with more
than a single ability or spell, but more can be learned through a pet
trainer. The warlock pet trainer is called a demon trainer.
In order to train your pet in new abilities or spells, you must first
summon the pet and then speak to a pet trainer. The pet's learnable
spells and abilities then appear in the trainer's window. If you have no
pet summoned, then the window will be blank.
Learning a new pet ability works like learning a class ability. Select the
ability, and if your pet is of the appropriate level, click on the Train button
to learn it. Pet abilities, like class spells, cost money to learn as well.
PET ACTION BAR
Your pet has an action bar that sits atop your own. This pet action
bar only appears when you actually have a pet summoned. To
attach your pet's spells and abilities to this bar, open the pet's
spellbook or ability book, and drag the action to the bar just as
you would for your own character. Actions on the bar can be
used by clicking on the correct icon or pressing Ctrl and the
corresponding hotkey number.
