Pride's Call

One of my first posts was about my dream hunter abilities, one of which was a spell that summoned a pet from the stable to help you fight. The idea was a talented ability that played off the mechanics used in abilities like Feral Spirits that summon multiple pets with a single pet bar. Well I've been thinking about it recently and I come up with some more specifics about the ability.
  • Pride's Call - At your Command your pet lets out a loud call summoning a random pet from the stable to assist you for 30 sec. Summoned pet follows the lead of the pet that called it and will autocast any abilities it possesses. 3-5 min cooldown
So making it a random pet from the stable is just easier than making it a specific one. The other option is to modify the stable screen with a slot marked on call which will allow the ability to summon that pet. The pet will do what ever your active pet does, attack, following, or just watching. They will attack the same target unless something pulls aggro on one of them the same way feral spirits will sometimes attack different targets. They will use the normal priority for pets, and will autocast all abilities including talents, so when the pet is summoned they will cast call of the wild if they have it, or roar of recovery if you need mana, a summoned cat will start the fight prowled, and will charge as soon as it's summoned if it's able. The duration and the cooldown depend on how powerful the ability is in combat, 15-45 sec is a standard time for most temporary summons and 3 minutes is the usual cooldown. Assuming that a BM hunter's pet will have 4 bonus points I'd lean closer to 4 minutes for the cooldown but that all depends.
