Open questions
What we are testing
These are the practical questions behind the first Hunter hub. There are no CFH combat results on this page.
No kill times, DPS, or XP rates are published as CFH results. Player-report numbers elsewhere on the site stay labeled as player reports.
Questions
- Does Charge let the Hunter start attacking sooner?
- Does the boar’s advantage persist when Charge is on cooldown?
- Do damage autocasts delay Growl through focus competition?
- Do faster attacking pets shorten the complete leveling cycle?
- Does a defensive pet save enough healing and recovery to level faster?
- Does Tauren kiting improve early kill time and damage taken?
What we intend to measure
For a named Forever build, on a defined route: kill time, engagement delay, aggro losses, mana use, healing, recovery, deaths, and XP per elapsed minute. Pet white DPS alone is not enough to answer the list above.
Wilbus’s 8 October 2026 post is useful as an external attack-speed report. It is not a CFH test and it does not establish a verified pet ranking for leveling.
