La MaJ n°12942 de la beta de Cataclysm  a réorganisé la plupart des compétences des familiers dans un but très simple : rendre les pets utiles. Le résultat en a été que le familier du DK est plus actif et a surtout apporté un nombre ahurissants de buffs raid possibles pour les Chasseurs en fonction du pet qu’ils ont. Ils possèderont également un Héroïsme/Soif de sang s’ils se spécialisent en Maîtrise des Bêtes. La MaJ n°12984 a également ajouté d’autres compétences supplémentaires pour les familiers. Amis Chasseurs, faites-vous plaisirs ;)
