🐺 Pet Stat Mechanics

Reference information for Hunter pet stats in WoW Classic.

Pets use Warrior-class stat conversions for applicable stats.

For damage formulas, see Pet Attack Formulas.

For family modifiers and abilities, see Pet Families and Abilities.


💪 Strength

Strength increases pet Attack Power.

1 Strength = 2 Attack Power


🐾 Agility

Agility provides:

  • Critical Strike
  • Armor
  • Dodge

At level 60:

20 Agility = 1% Critical Strike

Agility does not increase pet Attack Power.


⚔️ Attack Power

Pet Attack Power increases melee damage.

14 Attack Power = 1 Pet DPS

Damage added to each auto attack:

AP / 14 × Pet Swing Speed

Example:

140 AP = 10 DPS

With a 2.0 attack speed:

10 × 2.0 = 20 additional damage per swing

See Pet Attack Formulas for the full damage formula.


💥 Critical Strike

Pet critical strike chance is increased by Agility.

At level 60:

20 Agility = 1% Crit

Hunter Crit does not transfer to the pet.


🎯 Hit

Pets use their own Hit chance.

Hunter Hit does not transfer to the pet.

Pet normal melee attacks behave as white attacks, while damaging pet abilities behave as yellow attacks.


❤️ Stamina

Stamina increases pet health.

At higher levels:

1 Stamina ≈ 10 Health

Total health can also vary based on the pet's family modifier.


🛡️ Armor

Armor reduces incoming physical damage.

Pet Armor can come from:

  • Base pet stats
  • Agility
  • Family armor modifier
  • Natural Armor training
  • External buffs

🔥 Resistances

Pets can have resistance to:

  • Arcane
  • Fire
  • Frost
  • Nature
  • Shadow

Resistance can come from training and external buffs.


📈 Hunter Stat Scaling

In original WoW Classic, pets do not inherit stats from the Hunter.

Hunter:

  • Attack Power
  • Hit
  • Crit
  • Stamina
  • Armor
  • Resistances

do not directly transfer to the pet.

The pet's stats are calculated independently.


🐾 Family Modifiers

Pet families can modify:

  • Damage
  • Health
  • Armor

These are applied separately from the pet's normal stats.

See Pet Families & Abilities for family modifiers.
