[...] ‘fake’ pet skills that I posted about here a bit ago have been added to the Big List of Pet Skills on Petopia. [...]

Sporebats should come with some sort of “spore” ability or at least dive

I’ve made a number of suggestions over the last two years for new pet skills. Some of these are based on these prelim (fake) skills.

For Crabs, a thorns buff would be great.

Carrion Birds having a Swoop ability to replace Dive in the same way that Charge replaces Dash for Boars would be great.

Crocs could have a Lunge ability. Lunge would be a shock hit which slows attack speed for a short period of time, but has a long cool down.

Hyenae having a DoT ability similar to the ones that many have in the ‘wild’ would be nice.

Spiders having a venom would also be great. Spiders are a great pet, but lacking any special skills make them kind of rare.

For Tallstiders, a Leaping Kick would be a nice boost to damage.

And so many more. Some are based on the in game in game skills we see within specific families, and some based upon real world skills in the same families.

Vashra: Unfortunately, rod-tamed pets from the taming quest only last 15 minutes (or is it 10? but anyway, not long) no matter what you do. And you lose them if you logout or (I believe) zone.

Angelakane: Interesting. I’ll have to check that out.

So … if you were to keep your level 10 whatever pet that has a “fake” ability, does it keep it forever as you level up? Does anyone know if said fake ability scales with the level of the pet?

I just started a new Night Elf Hunter just for the reason to try and use the ghosttravel to get a Lynx(beautiful creatures) but thats not the point. The point is that when I just dinged 10 earlier and got my quest to tame a Webwood Lurker, I noticed it kept the poison ability after I had “tamed” it. It doesn’t show up on the petbar, but when I sent it against monsters it poisoned them.

I got my dads troll hunter a cockateel for christmas after he gets it in the mail and uses it he calls me in I’m confused and he asks “____(my private nickname in the blank) whats wrong with the bird you sent me?” I looked at him funny asnd he said “It’s not doing anything.” I giggled and said “It doesn’t do anything…” and when he was grinding mobs I heard him shouting “Peck at there eyes!” and “Poop on there heads!!!”

This would add a whole new level to not only Endgame for 70s+, but also twinks.
It sounds very good and there is no limit to what can be done, but at a certain point I think that it can either become to OP or Abused in PVP for any level.

I do think that any pet without major abilities should get new ones (IE. Bleed from Crocs), but we can only hope Blizz will do something about it. We saw a lot of changes in TBC and the patches that came around that time so hopefully we will see Crabs being used.

listen up i realy think gettin new skills would be great problem is hunters r already over powered i mean geeze we do crazy dmg alone in PvP then u add our pets and we pwn i realy wish they would add more tankin abilitys for 1 pet i mean there needs 2 be something 2 keep the aggro on ur pet when theres more than 1 i think spike sheild for turtles would be great and wolfs should have a howl like ive seen where it makes them run around and make it low otherwise it would be a big change in the power of a hunter with that pet peace if ur play in mok nathal u should give me guy a wisp same name as in fourms

@Orxata: I think the reason whelps should never be tameable (outside of being dragonkin) is the fact they are intelligent beings and do not think as a beast would.

I’m keeping a bear stabled in hopes that Blizz give em something cool. :cough: Cleave :cough:
