In the video you mentioned using call of the wild back to back, as in two iterations of call of the wild. Is that correct? I thought CotW was on a 5 min cool down?
You’re correct. What Lumiya was referring to was casting CotW a few seconds before the fight begins then dismissing your pet and summoning a new one. When the fight begins, you’ll still have some time left on the CotW cast by the first pet. Once that is over, you can then cast another CotW using the second pet (whose CotW cd has not been used).
Using pet-swapping before combat begins costs you nothing. However, once fighting begins you’d lose dps while dismissing a pet so it is generally not done after the initial swap except in special circumstances e.g. the Burning Tendons on heroic Spine of Deathwing.
While the tank is counting down, for pull, and ready to prepot, you can pull out a ferocity pet, pop CoW, dismiss the pet, and pull out your pet your going to use for the fight. Viola, you have another CoW to use.
Wondering if you could post update of your macros please .. thanks S
