Hunter Pet - Pet Talents Bug

[FatalAssassin7 0]

The hunter pet talent tab, which is supposed to be among those tabs listed when one presses "N" and brings up player talents, is non-existent.  This means I can't manage any talents the pet has.  This means I can't check if it has growl or not, or what level (even though pet trainer seems to only want to offer lvl 3+ growl)....and growl is definitely not showing as an option on my pet hotbar and definitely isn't turned on.

Please help me fix this, because until fixed my hunter is noticeably gimped in that he has to tank for his pet instead of vice versa . Thanks.

There no pet talents until tbc, you have pet training ability in general abilities tab.

Btw wow have same training on main characters at early alpha version.

Ah, that could be it, at least regarding talents (although 53 at lvl, like, 16 or something is still more than one would get for tbc even); I, too, thought that wasn't introduced until at least TBC but looked it up online and certain sites suggested it was in vanilla so I took their word.  Although I'm not too worried about the talent points, and that doesn't explain the LITANY of other crucial hunter problems that gimp them, such as:

-No place on pet bar for growl, their special attacks, etc.....

-Pets that are commanded to attack often (at lvl 6, max, loyalty even) do not receive the command and just sit in place

-Pets that actually successfully receive the "go attack" command run up to mob, then sit there and don't attack at all most times

-Pets that actually successfully receive the "go attack" command, run up to mob, and ACTUALLY attack, never or close to never employ growl (and, again, there is no slot where their should be on their bar to manage growl usage)

Elysium REALLY needs to fix these ENORMOUS hunter bugs because it makes playing my favorite class FAR more difficult and FAR less enjoyable, and I'm only one Elysium to play as my old main (a hunter).  I have a hard time seeing myself continuing to play for too much longer if they don't fix hunter pets and they leave them so completely broken >.<

I really don't understand what you mean by "no place on pet bar", you have 4 slots for pet abilities and that's the correct amount.

 

There are many bugs concerning pets but considering they scale with your stats from items (bug) and have huge extra aggro from growl (bug), playing hunter is easier, not harder :^)

>My pet bar shows, only in that it shows the 3 BASIC commands (attack, follow, stay), but shows NO other options (such as growl, other pet abilities, etc).

>pet does NOT growl (I have eternally main-ed a hunter, I know, pet bar or no, when it is and isn't growling).  so moot point.  I congratulate if you if growl and pet actually works for you, but hunter and lock pets haven't been working on Elysium for many I've talked to.  A fix is long overdue.

I'm currently playing a hunter whose pet appears to be working fine, however i understand i may be in the minority.

 

The pet i'm currently using is a wolf i trained in Elwynn Forest outside of Goldshire, if that makes any difference.

 

When i initially obtained the pet he did not have growl or claw available. However, opening the spellbook to the general tab and going to beast training opens the menu for spending your pet's "talent" points, growl and claw were available free and immediately to me. I had not seen any mention of doing this in the thread so far so i thought it might be worth a mention.

 

He growls, holds aggro, attacks and returns as i command. That said i am having a problem with my pet bar disappearing randomly, requiring me to dismiss then resummon my pet to get it to reappear however i've been attributing that to my bartender addon rather than an issue with the server, since i've found display bugs to be generally client side, especially when addons and a scripting engine are involved and i had not disabled it to see if the default UI was doing the same thing.

Thanks Maetnis, that was indeed the issue.  I feel ridiculous now, and yet...it has been ~a decade and a half since I've had to recall that function and no one else in this thread or elsewhere had pointed that option out, and indeed other websites were (as per my statement near the top of this thread) explicitly wrong in suggesting it was (in Vanilla specifically) attached to the general tab.  This solved much of my issues with my pet; it still doesn't attack properly like it's supposed, but I'm finally able to spend TP and turn on growl, thank GOD XD.

I WOULD still like to see Elysium fix hunter/warlock pets not attacking and pets/mobs pathing problems, but my hunter pet "growl" and "TP" issues have been resolved.  Thank you all for your help in resolving this.  I feel rather silly that the answer was so simple, no matter how long it has been since I have had occasion to use it lol.

Locked as the issue has been solved.
