(Returning Noob) Hunter Pet Feeding

[jrkilroy]

So, a silly question...

When multi boxing how do you manage feeding your pet? Do you use an addon to "auto feed"? Is there a macro? Do I just need to switch to my hunter? I haven't played a hunter at all since 3x went live, much less as a MB team.

My hunter team is kind of cruel.
They have Mend Pet glyphed, so it increases pet happiness.
And just very regularly do a Mend Pet, and let the pet fend for itself as far as food goes.

A lot of the pet talent options have happiness increasing effects as well.

If you actually wanted to feed a pet, I'd use something like:

#show Feed Pet
/cast Feed Pet
/use iamspetfood (or whatever else you'd feed the pet)

How about this?

There is no need to feed pets any more.

• Glyph of Mend Pet (minor) restores happiness.
• Tenacity pets have Guard Dog ability for happiness.
• Cunning pets have Carrion Feeder ability for happiness.
• Ferocity pets have Bloodthirsty ability for happiness.

I haven't carried pet food at all on my 80 hunters.

I thought the happiness mechanic was removed from the game in the last few months?

I'm currently db a shamen/hunter, and I haven't done anything at all to increase my pet's happiness. I better check this when I get home tonight!

Oh, it's definitely still there, you just won't notice unless you afk for a while or your pet dies.

Well most for my hunters on one of them i leveled skinning and I tend to have pets who eat meat so it makes it almost impossible for me to run out of food for them. I just send my slaves food from my main. and I feed them all individually. I know thats a pain but I dont really care much. I personally didnt use the mend pet glyph because eventually when you get high enough you dont have to feed your pets anymore and they're happiness stay up. I would just do it the old fashion way its really not hard as long as you keep up with skinning. If I were you I wouldnt waste my gold on the glyph when you can use it for more important glyphs.

[Khatovar]

What does skinning have to do with feeding pets? You get leather from skinning, not meat.

[Ualaa]

I would guess... skin animal type mobs, which requires looting them first.
And as loot, you get a fair amount of meat.

[Danica]

Yeah I figured people would figure out that when you skin animals you get meat....
