My main has always been a hunter...

For instances, lots of bears might do the job, they will all die, but they'd last longer than most.

But as has been mentioned, even with the improvements to mend pet, your pets will still get 1-2 shotted by bosses, they can only really act as OT's never MTs.

So no, not really. not for PvE at least. Even in PvP, youre still gonna struggle tbh. When a couple of well geared chars get in your face (which they will), you are in trouble, corpse runs as a MB'er ftl.

I'd say 3x hunter 1xprot pally and 1x holy/disc priest would work. But 5x hunter is fun for a while, but ultimately sub-par.

Good luck
