Hunter abilities/Pet specializations

Pet specializations

Pet specializations encompass three distinct and separate roles that hunters can choose for their pets. While all pets are assigned a specific specialization according to their pet family, the hunter can choose to change that specialization if/when needed. Like the hunter, a pet can have more than one specialization thanks to Dual Talent Specialization.

Note that the abilities listed below are the base abilities assigned to that specialization; pet families have additional abilities.

Cunning

	[Boar's Speed]
	[Bullheaded]
	[Cornered]
	[Dash]
	[Roar of Sacrifice]

The specialization gives burst, stun, and crowd-control abilities, all useful in PvP.

While any pet family can be re-specced into Cunning, these abilities are naturally part of the following pet family types: Bat, Birds of prey, Chimera, Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found.
