Hati's Bond: The wolf Hati is summoned as a secondary companion whenever you have your primary pet summoned.

Hati obeys the same commands as your pet, including Attack, Follow, Move To, and stances.

If Hati dies there is a 30-second cooldown before he will be summoned again, but you can help keep him alive with Mend Pet.

Hati's color will change based on your Artifact appearance. At level 110, you can start the quest A New Invention from Mimiron in Trueshot Lodge which rewards the Essence Swapper, allowing you to transform Hati into any pet you have tamed.

Concordance of the Legionfall

afterempowering your artifactList of BM TraitsGolden Traits

Master of Beasts: Significantly buffs Hati by allowing him to benefit from Bestial Wrath. He will now also use Kill Command (at 30% normal damage) and Beast Cleave (at 75% normal damage) whenever your primary pet does.

Titan's Thunder: A single target DPS cooldown (1 minute) that causes all of your active pets (including Dire Beasts) to discharge electricity into their target for 8 seconds. It's always best to stack this with Bestial Wrath when possible. Also make sure you cast it immediately after casting Dire Beast to get its full benefit.

Surge of the Stormgod: Whenever you cast Multi-Shot, there is a 25% chance that your pet and Hati will explode with electricity, dealing nature damage to nearby enemies.

Cobra Commander: Your Cobra Shot has a 10% chance to summon 2-4 snakes. These snakes melee attack your target for a trivial amount of damage, but they also apply Deathstrike Venom. This trait is a small boost to single target DPS.

DPS Traits

Beast Master: The first trait you will unlock. It increases Dire Beast damage by 12% and the attack speed bonus from Barbed Shot by 12%.

Spitting Cobras: Increases your Cobra Shot damage. 4 ranks.

Focus of the Titans: Increases your Multi-Shot damage. 4 ranks.

Jaws of Thunder: Kill Command has a chance to deal an additional 50% Nature damage. Applies to primary pet and Hati's Kill Commands. 4 ranks.

Furious Swipes: Increases the damage of Beast Cleave. 4 ranks.

Wilderness Expert: Increases the duration of Aspect of the Wild by 1 sec per rank. 4 ranks.

Pack Leader: Increases the damage of Kill Command. 4 ranks.

Unleash the Beast: Increases the damage bonus of Bestial Wrath. 4 ranks.

Thunderslash: During Aspect of the Wild, your primary pet and Hati deal additional Nature damage with each melee attack. This bonus damage is dealt to all enemies in an 8-yard cone in front of the pets. This makes Aspect of the Wild a more potent cooldown than it was before.

Slithering Serpents: Each point decreases the Focus cost of Cobra Shot by 2. This is a lot nicer than it looks on paper -- it improves the rotation noticeably.

Defensive Traits

Spirit Bond: The Hunter is healed for 15% of the damage done by Kill Command.

Natural Reflexes: Increases the dodge chance of you and your pet. 4 ranks.

Mimiron's Shell: Heals you over the 8 sec duration of Aspect of the Turtle. It is possible to remove the Aspect of the Turtle buff and keep the HoT active.

Hunter's Advantage: Using Misdirection on your pet causes it to take 35% less damage for the duration. A nice soloing trait.

Pathfinder: Reduces the cooldown of Aspect of the Cheetah from 3 minutes to 2 minutes.
