Rare spawns (and maybe some common ones) should have special abilities, but nothing you want be able to “transfer” to your main pet. I mean cases like Humar’s speed before some patch – everyone in BG with black lion. Then King B with cobra reflex – and again everyone in BG with white tiger. Unique abilities – yes! But only to learn your own pet. More unique looks – yes! To show others your determination with hunting (like Ghost Saber on Horde side or Humar for Alliance – especially on PvP realms)

in the past i enjoyed to tame rare pets, like BT, camping and trying to hunt him down before someone else got him, or killed him :( becouse of something special with that pet, not only the look. but now there is no deffrence between the pets, so i can take whatever.
get some rare spawns some cool abilitys, think how fun it would be if a reare spawn, spawn once a day, had something cool/good. my world would be so much more fun.

What’s the big deal if a pet starts with negative training points?

If you don’t like the starting skill, you can train a different pet. That was Mania’s point, that starting pets out with passive (or active) skills gives you a reason to choose one over another.

And if you still want that particular pet, you just take your pet to the pet trainer as soon as it would have enough points for something different. Pet retraining is cheap.

Personally I appreciate having some useful skills as soon as I tame a pet.

it would be kool… but if im trying to level a pet and it has as the scorpion has… fire resistance 5. thats just that much longer i have to wait to teach it skills i want it to have. plus fire resist wont make a break leveling it any easier. i can only see that being good if it meant not paying (what 25s) for the skill or learning it before the trainer.

im really fine with everything about hunters in general, i just want more active or unique abilities on the pets nobody uses. i like taming a pet and having it be unique (i had the new tallstrider from terrokar, but it couldnt hold aggro like i wanted so i ditched it) and im about ready to release my black raptor from blades edge because he doesnt have sprint or dash or equivalent. (i know in the wild ive had raptors dash at me and knock me down with a stun).

ya but if they all have some type of passive skill(which would be pretty cool in my opinion). They would all start out with negative talent points.
