Chigawaa, a level 70 hunter in the guild Hellfire Club on Suramar, sent me this excellent graphic showing his ghost wolf Mirage in four different “phases”: normal, buffed with Furious Howl, poisoned, and in Bestial Wrath. Click below for a full-sized view.
Says Chigawaa: “I really don’t mind being Poisoned anymore.” And I can see why! Is that one amazing wolf or what?
Just a quick note today while I compulsively level pets. *grin* I’ve been seeing a lot of references lately to a WoW UI Mod called PetEmote that allows you to easily perform emotes that look as if they are coming from your pet.
For instance, I type: /pet sniffs the air and then whines softly.
And people around me see: Maja’s hyena Scorn sniffs the air and then whines softly..
The mod is very configurable — you can set up the beginning of the emote in a variety of ways to suit your needs — and there are random emotes to play with per family as well.
I roleplay lackadaisically, but I’m excited by the potential in this mod for personalizing my pets. And Funny, the developer, is actively seeking feedback and suggestions for new emotes and features. So check it out!
It’s here! It’s here! (Unfortunately as I type this, the realms are still down. But they’ll be up soon enough, and then …) It’s finally here!
Why am I getting so excited over a minor bugfix patch with no big new content? One reason: Pet leveling speed has been increased.
Final Names: Dieltalah & either Connor or Isengard
I shouldn’t have picked on Styfios a couple of weeks ago when he asked for help naming both his pets — it turns out that many hunters have a bit of a block when it comes to pet-naming. Luckily, I have you guys willing to help us out!
So today we have a plea from Ysildra of Draenor (EU). Ysildra writes:
Big Red Kitty has created two excellent videos for new hunters. The first, the BRK Lowbie-Hunter Guide Movie, focuses on the fact that hunters are a ranged class and covers basic techniques for staying at range, even before you get a pet. The second is the BRK Intro to Pet Training Movie; this one walks new hunters through the complicated process of learning and teaching pet skills.
These videos aren’t everything a hunter needs to know — that isn’t entirely feasible in a 14 minute video! — but they make an excellent starting point for players new to the hunter class.
