Could just make it do more damage. Brutal Mauling is part of the bear, so just make it do a little extra damage from it to balance up DPS.

Just fix the only broken pet.

...It's a simple skill removal. One type of creature uses it, a bear, and it affects balance, if only minorly. Obviously this shouldn't be a huge priority, but I fail to see the difficulty in simply removing the skill. We don't need pets doing all sorts of crap, we have Beast Mastery for that. Just make the bear the same as the rest of the pets, I don't understand why the skill was ever put in the game.
/Signed for removal

/notsign for anything. The bear is special from the rest because it can trigger chants, therefore it drawback is slower attack rate. I don't like having pets with special, for one it will screw up the pvp system. The way it is now let you pick pets you like not picking them for their special. The only thing I agree is adding the ability to pick basic pet with different damage type for pvp char.
That comes fro the fact that the bear in Pre Searing Ascalon was an enemy.
a lvl3/5 (seems to have slipped my mind) that had auto-aggro.
Since that bear was in no way different as an neutral bear the devs must've just sticked with this one type of instead of making another charmable one.
I think that really sums it up.
Might be wrong though

/signed for brutal mauling removal, simply because this attack is making a well timed disrupting lunge go down the drain.
About special 'pet powers', first I think some of them could be really overpowered : free knockdown, deep wounds dazed automatically spammed every 8 secs ?! I allready feel the pain (oh NO! A dazed black moa ranger team...).
Second, just because it'd be annoying to have a 'normal pet skill' interrupted or delayed by such a 'special power'.
In fact i'd prefer -just- slight differences between pets in term of hp, attack speed, attack damage, running speed. And of course if THAT was possible, some kind of signets of animal capturing (one in build only at a time), allowing to store and use different pets (and why not different versions of pet...).

Thread cleaned. There's a note in the OP's post now, but I'll restate it here;
Please keep things simple in context. This thread is about 'balancing'/'fixing' things now in a timely manner with ease. There's no reason things can't be changed one way now, and changed another way later.
But keep the discussions of inherent pet attack/skills in other threads which already exist about the subject.

As to the topic at hand, if Brutal Mauling can't technically be removed, I'm curious to know if it can be edited, as it was initially to make it useless;
It could be possible to simply make it do nothing in such a way that it doesn't matter, or have requirements that make it impossible to ever use.
"Brutal Mauling - 0en, 0 cast, --- recharge [rez sig/signet of rebirth style]
Skill
This skill does nothing."
And if the skill can't be edited at all, one can always create a new bear pet entry, same skin, WITHOUT Brutal Mauling, and perform a mass database edit, the same way undesirable weapon stats were removed, and give everyone with the current bear pet the new one, while removing the old one from the game entirely.
Or a bear collector that trades old bears for new ones?
In any case, even if a certain specific solution can not be done, the essence of programming is finding a way to get things done, even if it's not straightforward, through creative problem solving. There has to be some kind of alternate solution that would be viable if others are not.

IT CAN BE BALANCED! You just aren't even trying to find a way.

You know what you are getting when you charm a bear. There's plenty of lvl 15 and up pets that you can charm if you don't want the Brutal Mauling.
If they're going to fix this, then they need to have pet attacks trigger anthems (which they currently don't).
Either take a paragon hero or player on your team or get rid of your bear.
