@Werdx use holy shock /penance /ridetide with the mending tides ME / along with penance ME that buffs riptide / use Downpour / use shadow dagger. Will get you functionally close
@AzrielBlackwell There are Dragon pets that can offer healing, armor sundering, or slows. Personally, I went for the Green Whelp for the constant rejuvenation. Can also get the Bronze Dragonkin that is much tankier, or I believe the Green Dragonoid that alos offeres healing capabilities.
That said, hunter pets still have the best DPS with talents and such, Devilsaur ranking top atm.
