Although WoWhead lists this as a 'channeled' ability, it is indeed an instant HoT cast.

From PTR 2.1 notes:

"Replaced the current "Mend Pet" channel spell with an instant cast heal over time. "

A fantastic buff for raiding hunters.

Rejuvenation you mean, regrowth being a 2-second cast spell.

Comment by BlueShoals

"Bonus healing gear will no longer effect "Mend Pet". "

Even though the spell is no longer channeled, but an Instant Cast HoT, the lack of +healing makes it harder to solo bigger stuff...

Somewhat of a nerf for solo Hunters, as well as hunters looking to solo ridiculously high world bosses.

As of patch 2.1 mend pet is no longer a channel spell.

Here are the patch notes:

-Replaced the current Mend Pet channel spell with an instant cast heal over time.
-No combat reset, resets global cooldown
-The mana cost has been reduced and the heal value increased.
-Duration on Heal Over Time increased to 15 seconds in 3 second increments.
-Changed the graphic to better represent the Heal Over Time effect on the pet.
-The Mend Pet heal over time buff is now able to be dispelled.
-Bonus healing gear will no longer effect Mend Pet.
-Added a 10% and 20% reduction to the mana cost of Mend Pet in Improved Mend Pet talent (Beast Mastery).

I see that the duration is listed correctly but the "channeled" should be removed.

Comment by Rarehunter

Note that Mend Pet is now an instant cast HoT (Heal over Time) on your pet instead of a channeled spell.

Comment by Dimma

It's still a great buff for us ordinary PvE'ers who can now continue dps while mending the pet, or put a mend to boost pet health reg between fights. It's quite cheap in mana too.

Comment by 24111

It's pretty good for PvP too, with two points in Improved Mend Pet you can remove CC from your pet easily. Two points isn't that much if you're already trying to pass the tiers for Beast Within. Using Rank 1 is prefered for this cause (32 mana cost).

With the Gorilla's http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=55572 mixed with http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=53482, http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=53179 and http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=20895 the gorilla would keep aggro while gaining 1575 hp every 3 seconds just from mend pet! that can make for some epic off tanking or if your healer&tank dies your pet can tank the leftovers =D
Tenacity pets seem like they can Tank a whole instance if you spec them right and maybe have a healer in the group but maybe not with Blood of the rhino and Spirit bond imagine the farming of utgarde you can do!

If you're trying to get your pet healed really fast, DO NOT spam this spell. It resets every time you activate it, so using it every global cooldown results in no healing done to your pet.
This is a HoT, so it's very similar to a druid spamming Rejuvenation. That isn't the point of these spells.

While we're on topic, Glyph of Mend Pet is a fantastic glyph for ANY level of hunter. You can't afford to lose DPS in a fight, especially as BM, when your pet suddenly goes down to Content or has to be resed in combat. This is one situation when you can spam Mend Pet to not use it's healing properties, as it will grant 20 Happiness per time you use it rather than each tick.

Comment by Gemini4t

Currently it does NOT grant 20 happiness per cast, but per tick. If you spam it, your pet will get no healing and no happiness until you stop spamming.

Just let it tick normally. Besides, it's basically a given that any good pet spec will include the talent to increase happiness.

Comment by zapiks44

With Spirit Bond, Blood of the Rhino, and Glyph of Mending, Mend Pet will tick for 2264, for a total of 11320 healing over 15 sec.

Comment by Necoia

With Spirit Bond, Blood of the Rhino, and Glyph of Mending, Mend Pet will tick for 2264, for a total of 11320 healing over 15 sec.

And counting in the periodic healing from Spirit Bond and Silverback with Longevity you also have a 2% health back every 10 seconds and 2% every 3.5 seconds (assuming Growl is used on every cooldown) which equates to about 2.3% every 3 seconds modified by the healing bonuses. Let's not forget Improved Mend Pet.

Giving you a grand total of 2264 + 3.5% hp every 3 seconds and most debuffs removed. Not bad.

Slight calculation failures fixed.

Comment by 420501

Does anyone know if this increases pet happiness without the mend pet glyph?

Comment by sweboy99

No it doesn't. Besides, that would make the glyph completely useless.

Comment by 542305

My mend pet spell glitched now it's lasting for 18 days

Comment by odincore

Does haste give this spell extra ticks in Cata beta?

Comment by elitearthas

If haste does affect this... it'll heal faster is all... same ticks but the time between the ticks decreases...

Anyway, does anyone know how much hp does our pets have in Cata?

We have about 60k hp in cata, im assuming our pets should have comparable (40-50k at least) hp?

•Mend Pet no longer heals for x health, now heals for 25% of the pet's total health over 10 sec.

Not really sure if its a nerf or an upgrade rofl but if my estimate is right... its a major upgrade

Comment by 526135

Way to downrate. I'm sticking in this reply to keep the above comment from being purged.

On topic: Mend Pet seems to be lasting longer than 10 seconds for me. Anyone else noticing this?

Comment by Shageki

This ability has gotten a huge buff overall with it being changed to percentage based healing, as well ticking every two seconds instead of every three (Which triggers improved Mend Pet more frequently on top of providing more healing).

With the glyph, Spirit Bond, and Blood of the Rhino, it heals your pet for close to 13% of it's max health per two seconds.

Comment by 749936

Yes, this spell in conjunction w/ other healing effects on pets in cata are quite rediculous.

To illustrate how so, I've succesfully solo pet tanked argaloth w/ 1 really pro disc healer.

Here's the details

40% Bonus Healing (Blood of the Rhino talent)
10% Bonus Healing (Spirit Bond)
2% Healing per 10s (SB)
40% Healing per 10s (Mend Pet w/ Glyph)
Dispel Every 4s (1 pt in IMP)
2% Healing per 3.5s (Silverback)

To sum that up you need to know your pet's health. With raid buffs, and my pet tanking (stamina, etc) gear, my pet is at around 150k health atm.

That's:
3k per 10s x 50% modifier: 4.5k per 10s (450 hps)
60k per 10s x 50% modifier: 90k per 10s (9k hps)
3k per 3.5s x 50% modifier: 4.5k per 3.5s (~1.3k hps)

In other words, a grand total of 10.7k hps which rivals alot of good healers in game at the moment. Not only that but our pets dont take too much more damage than a normal tank, especially if an encounter revolves around AoE (Due to Avoidance of 90% of AoE) or magic damage (high resistances). We have amazing cooldowns (50% dmg reduction for 12s every 42s )

So you can effectively have a pet tank something like argaloth, and with enough health to soak the blows, you dont have to tank swap at all due to the meteor splash being aoe. You only need 1, maybe 2 healers and any healing that is done on your pet beyond the 8-11k that you can achieve via upping stamina, talents and mend pet is enhanced by 50%.

Pretty insane if you ask me.

Comment by chaoscurtis

You forget to calculate in the bonus healing provided by raid buffs.

Comment by tippy7

Had an odd little glitch happen with this today. I pulled out my bear to tank an elite and hit mend pet, only to be told that a stronger spell is already active. I tried again a few seconds later, and the same thing happened. When I looked at my pet, it had the normal mend pet buff, but it said "9 days remaining"! I have no idea how it happened. It was nice not to have to click it but it did mean I had to listen to the mend pet noise every 2 seconds...

Comment by Evangelism

I've always wanted to try this, but since Mend Pet is labeled as a "magic" ability, can I spell steal it? xD

Edit: downrated becauseee why? It was a simple question. A yes or no would do. >.>

Comment by 749936

I've never seen Mend Pet spell stolen by a Mage, but it probably doesn't work.

Even if it can be, it's probably not advisable because it says in the description that it heals 5% of the pet's health every 2s. Glyphed this is upped to 4%, and the pet's healing enhancements along w/ BM enhancements up it some more, but these won't affect you, all except maybe the glyphed portion. If you steal it it may not heal you at all, even if it did heal you , it's dispellable, and you're better off using your spell steals on important abilities such as Master's Call, and whatever the Hunter's partners are using. If you're considering spell stealing it in order to prevent the pet from getting heals, this spell has no cooldown and can be spam cast instantly. I'll have to test it in game, but I have a feeling it won't work.

Comment by 998311

i don't see a button to directly reply to a comment so i'll havta sorta quote what i'm talking about..

To illustrate how so, I've succesfully solo pet tanked argaloth w/ 1 really pro disc healer.

Its not solo if you have a priest with you. Solo is SOLO like the other night i killed the boss by the black anvil with my paladin while lv53-55ish with no external help, not even buffs leftover from party members. That is solo. Having buffs from other classes and especially having a priest there to heal is not.

Comment by Pazhala

I don't know why, but currently the wowhead tooltip says that Mend Pet is a "channeled" ability. I just tested it in-game, and it's definitely still an instant cast with 10 second duration.

Comment by rcingnoob

From the Patch 5.4 PTR I've noticed this spell currently has a 10 second cooldown and ticks every second (for 5 seconds) and CANNOT be buffed for extra healing.

Comment by Bogdanov89

After 5.4 it works like this:

Without glyph: Heals the pet for 5% of it's total HP every 2 seconds for 10 seconds - total of 25% pet hp healed.

With glyph: Heals the pet for 5% of it's total HP every 1 second for 10 seconds - total of 50% pet hp healed.

In other words, the glyph makes the spell heal at twice the speed over the same duration, ending up in exactly twice the amount of healing.

This is a buff from the previous version of the spell where the glyph changed it only from 25% to 40%, without speeding up the healing ticks.

Comment by Joe1113

I have a dumb question...as a hunter, I am getting tired of not being able to see my pet's health due to the oddly huge texted healing numbers and damage appearing over my pet's portrait. Is there is a script or macro I can run or use to hide the incoming damage and/or healing on my pet? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Comment by dillybar

"Where does my Mend Pet button go when my pet dies?"

As of 6.0.2, Revive Pet and Mend Pet are integrated into one spot on your action bar.

Basically what this means, is that if your pet is alive, the button will show "Mend Pet". But if your pet has died, that same button turns into "Revive Pet". Very useful, especially when you are in a tough battle, when you click the button, if the pet has just died, instead it will revive your pet.

EDIT: As of 7.0, for those who are wondering "Oh no, where is my Mend Pet/Revive Pet at?", do not fret. Blizz has put it into the "Pet Utility" button. Thankfully, if you don't care for how that is set up, you can remove the individual ability from the Pet Utility button and place that on your task bar to individually click it, instead of having to use a drop down (or drop side/up) ability.

Comment by Norrani94

i just noticed something very odd, at low lvls a hunter will not be able to heal her pet with this spell. i just made a new hunter and at lvl 1 it gives the error "Target is too low level". probably not much of a problem given that at that lvl nothing is really going to hurt your pet, but still annoying.

~Update~
becomes usable at lvl 6.

Comment by Alrulela2014

My pet is dead. I can not Mend him. I don't know what they have changed but the Pet Mend is not there. Help !
