This ability is 1 of 5 "Call Pet" abilities that Hunters can learn. Notes about this particular spell:
- Has nothing to do with the pets in your Stable.
- Summons the pet in the third slot of your "Call Pet" ability list, making it your active pet.
Additional Notes:
- You will learn the following spells as you level:
Call Pet 1 lvl 1
Call Pet 2 lvl 18
Call Pet 3 lvl 42
Call Pet 4 lvl 62
Call Pet 5 lvl 82- You can add pets to "Call Pet" ability list by either:
a) taming additional pets via Tame Beast.
b) visiting any <Stable Master> and dragging stabled pets to your "Call Pet" ability list.- You can switch between the pets in your "Call Pet" ability list with Dismiss Pet, then select a different pet in the "Call Pet" ability drop down menu.
- Using any of these spells will NOT summon more than one pet at a time.
- If the lvl 87 ability, [spell=121818], is used:
a) all 5 pets in your "Call Pet" ability list will be summoned at once.
b) if you do not have 5 pets already in your "Call Pet" ability list, copies of your active pet will be summoned instead. source
c) only your active pet will use its Special Attack Ability, the other 4 will use auto attack. source
d) *NEEDS CONFIRMATION* It appears all 5 pets might apply their respective buffs when summoned (sources/speculation below):
• All 5 pets will use their Growl ability unless you turn them off. source

tested)." a post by Kijo source.

There is a minor bug with this ability; if you have an open slot on your number keys, the icon that is created for this ability is not bound to your current pets of your Call Pet 2. The self-help fix is easy; drag the new Call Pet 3 icon to delete it and replace your Call Pet 2 with your new Call Pet 3 ability from your Spellbook & Abilities (P) page; that one will be populated from your current Call Pets 2. Not sure how recently this has appeared; I am leveling a new hunter and have seen this on Call Pet 2 and Call Pet 3 so far ...
Thanks for the info. I just like having call pet 2-5 so that I can have more pets "with" me and still have a slot or two available to tame something if I run across something rare or cool looking. I'm only level 25 right now, so I can only take one pet with me and still be able to tame something else. :(
