I just reviewed yesterday’s Q&A, and came away with a follow-up question that I then posted to the devs privately. The question submitted yesterday was “”Have you considered having a pet stampede spell where our 5 pet stable rushes our enemy for a 5min cooldown? Or is that too epic?”
The response was “yes”, but there were two questions there, and we didn’t make it clear that we were responding to the first question.
Here is a Ghostcrawler quote for you —
“One of the potential ideas we’re considering for a new hunter ability is one where they send all 5 of their current pets to attack, for a short period of time, on a long cooldown. No guarantees that we’ll go with it, but we’re at least considering something like that.” (Source)
That could be a lot of fun!
Later followed up with this…

It isn’t a certainty, but it is very likely that this will be implemented with 5.0. (Source)
Were this to be implemented, it sounds like it would be an amazingly fun (and powerful) ability. An Army of the Dead for hunters, but with a lot more personality. 😉
My question, obviously, is how much control we’d have over our pets during this spell, and would the additional pets be able to utilize their unique abilities or just their basic attacks…
