Lone Wolf is a row 3 Marksmanship hunter talent. When the hunter doesn't have a pet summoned, this talent increases damage dealt and changes 
[Command Pet] into 
[Fortitude of the Bear].
Lone Wolf's damage bonus takes 20 seconds after the pet is dismissed to reach full effectiveness.
Notes and trivia
- Lone Wolf was mentioned in the April Fools' Day Legion alpha patch note preview: "Marksmanship Hunters must once again choose the Lone Wolf talent to play without a pet. However, to select this talent, you will first have to watch as your beloved companion sadly sulks away, occasionally glancing back at you to see if you've changed your mind, while listening to "In the Arms of an Angel" at maximum volume. You monster."
- Between patch 6.0.2 and patch 7.0.3, Lone Wolf allowed the hunter to apply one of several raid buffs, corresponding with the buffs available to different pet families at the time:
Lone Wolf: Ferocity of the Raptor increased critical strike chance by 5%.
Lone Wolf: Fortitude of the Bear increased stamina by 10%.
Lone Wolf: Grace of the Cat increased mastery by 550.
Lone Wolf: Haste of the Hyena increased haste by 5%.
