World Of WarCraft SecretsCombat 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.
