probably an endless discussion i guess?

im still wondering which pets are the best ever, i got an ashenvale bear from lv20 30 now(:P)in eu retail, and im wondering which pets are the best to have, i favor the armor and hp on my pet. I know pets taken from lower level have improved stats but which stats are mostly improved by it etc. Im trying to look for a pet which will definetely be the best

Bears have the most hp usually, turtles for the most AC, cats for the best dps and fast attack speeds.

but i usually hear alot about yeah cats pwn, but my opinion is pets never do the desired damage, even with beast mastery talents i think its not really worth mentioning comparing to marksmanship build.

Heh, you asked what pets are good for what....

If you are looking for a pure pvp build look in the hunter thread by thaudruk, myself and others have posted their builds in that thread, along with reasons for choosing specific talents.
