Yes, of course. You can use it to scout. If you have prowl on your cat, you can scout stealthed. Your pet might get attacked, but I think you don't get attacked as long as you just let your pet die (then you rez it). Haven't done this in a long time, though.

I believe you can even make your pet attack things under EotB.

the most common use for eotb is for a few pulls in raids, altho its usefullness isnt quite as big anymore since misdirect, a pet pull can still be used for as a "safer" way tp pull

nice to have when the prince in karazhan bugs out for example

EotB is also useful in raiding to put your pet behind the boss so you don't get parries and blocks on his melee attacks.

First time in UBRS:

"Theo, dismiss your pet and jump down."

"Um, why? I can just use EotB."

"Just do it please..."

*uses EotB and makes pet jump down, while guild leader is freaking out on vent*

that made me laugh.
i mainly use it to park my bird on someone's shoulder =P
(or move it out of the way if its blocking sight)

How do you cancel EotB? I've tried everything I can think of, but nothing works.

that, or use shadowmeld =P

i use it in pvp and sometimes my pet gets stuck and he doesn't jump so i use it to get him outta there

It's plenty useful, as several have pointed out. Hovever, since you can't use the /dance emote to make your Pet dance while controlled via EotB, I call it a broken ability and demand that Blizzard fix this obvious and game breaking oversight immediately.

There's nothing like using EotB and parking your huge freaking turtle over a gnome. I usually combine this with counting how long it takes for them to move out of the way.

Even better, you know they're a noob when they start jumping to look around...

Occasionally, in a BG, I see pets running around without a Hunter. This usually tells me that the Hunter in question is probably pretty bored...

But I cannot help but REALLY want to try it out. How fun would that be? Earning some HKs without doing much but making my pet unhappy. :P

I can just imagine that it would be useful for your group as well in a way. Anything that will disorient your opponents and cause them to waste some CCs is good in my book.

It is like when you attack someone in the opponents flag room, so they follow you instead of the flag. I LOVE it when I get 3 people following me out of the flag room and I die. Why? Because I am happier dying than my carrier dying. :)

You'll have to be more specific, because I've never noticed that problem with EotB. There are, in fact, places where the pet can be used to trigger an ambush rather than having the party walk into it.

Regardless, I've never once used EotB in an instance and been unable to see mobs. How did you come to "usually?"

i did that when PvPing at 49, use EotB and throw a big red kitty in the flag room.
then capture the flag and run like mad!
worked about 50% of the time, then again... i just died halfway through the field because everyone else was running around doing anything but helping me (jup.. alliance)
