Zaishen Menagerie - is it really just for show?

After all, there are very few builds which use entirely pet skills, and rangers aren't that effective with one.

I reckon the skill update for May was originally going to be some general balance update, until it possibly got delayed primarily to buff pet skills into use - perfect timing to bring pets into the game fully, and allow other professions to run full-pet builds if they want to. Well, I can dream...

I just think it's bizarre adding such a big thing to the game without making the part of the game it's based on more useful. At the moment it's equivalent to having a new area added to show off smiting prayers or blood magic, two niche skill-lines.

I've already capped a pet on each of my heroes and am currently running around leveling them. Theres just a few pets that I will have to get on another character. Couple heroes short of all the pets.

I've often wanted to try to get a more "prestigious" pet for my ranger, but I don't because he's too attached to that original Melandru Stalker he charmed in pre. It would be cool to grab some other pets without loosing him.

Each time you do this, it unlocks the pet?

So, I think this must also be for PvP - unlocking something other than an Elder Wolf to use in PvP. Might be nice to get my R/P packhunters something a little more exotic for HB.
