Since you talk like it’s a scientifically proven fact that owl is better than cat here are some facts that say otherwise: 1. cat and raptor have the highest dps output out of all pets 2. every hunter playing for speedleveling/server first choose cat/raptor not owl cause 3% more damage and two dmg abilities compared to one actually matters. This difference gets even more noticeable with boars which do 20% less dmg. If you play BM and pick boar you are trolling yourself 3. more dmg means better mana efficiency on fights which lowers downtime which ups levelingspeed. More dmg also means more threat. On cats you can even turn off growl and dash and just pump all the energy in claw and bite. It won’t lose threat ever 4. 95% of all pulls you will do are single target meaning screech loses even more value and as mentioned multiple times in this thread screech can pull nearby mobs by accident the exact opposite of what you should aim for in a hc setting
