while i have no problems with the idea of pets having talent trees, I think its a little overbalanced to give them enough flexibility and power in these trees to actually allow them to take the place of another toon.

Offtank? possible, but should be extremely limited, perhaps to normal instances, but surely not heroics or raids at all. Seriously, giving a high dps class the ability to tank, while at the same time putting out high dps and your screaming OP. many tanks classes pay a heavy price to tank (the reduction of overall dps and soloability) and have to respec to do what yoru thinking you shodul be able to do by swapping pets? I certainly hope you guys can see how that would seriously throw things otu of whack.

While i dont mind the idea of using pets as a form of CC, that woudl still leave a huge gap in skills compared with other classes. your pet would, in effect, become CC, and with your trap you now have 2 CC abilities that are infinitly spammable (within reason of course). Hmm...spanks of OP to me (and yes, i do understand the limitations of traps and placement, got a hunter myself, tho shes an alt)

I think the idea is great, but i feel that ultimately in order to preserver the general balance of the game the trees will most likely be replacements for the skills, allowing flexibility in choice more then increased buffs.
