First - I have tried to see if there was another thread already dealing with this topic and couldn't find one that answers my question; I also checked the the Hunter FAQ here and I looked at Petopia.
My question, as I spec my pet, they get new talents. Some are passive (spiked collar, great stamina, etc.) while others seem to require them to be equipped on the pet's bar; such things like Heart of the Phoenix or Lick Your Wounds. Is this correct or do the talents they get remain active, if they are on the Action Bar or not?
If they have to be on the Bar, is there a resource to check out the different possible configurations?
Thanks
