For many hunters, taming a pet is a routine activity. Sure, there are some especially challenging tames out there, but for most run-of-the-mill creatures you plop down your Freezing Trap and you hit Tame Beast, and that’s that.
Of course, things are a little more interesting when you can’t just plop down a Freezing Trap — for instance, when you are under level 20 and don’t know Freezing Trap yet.
Epicdrop, a level 25 Draenei hunter, is looking for our help naming her new raptor (formerly known as Takk the Leaper).
RFC stands for Request For Comments, and that’s exactly what this post is. I want to get your comments on hunter pets for raiding.
As many of you know, I am a very particular — and in some ways peculiar — sort of player. I am a strict soloer: I don’t group except under extraordinary circumstances, and I don’t raid or PvP. But while I am personally happy with my playstyle, it does unfortunately cut me off from a wide swath of hunter experience. So when a reader writes in to ask me for suggestions about raiding pets, I’m at a loss. I need your help.
The Public Test Realm updated again today. This progressive testing is … interesting … but it makes it hard for me to keep up.
The biggest (*cough*) news on the PTR is a bug that was just introduced with scaling. Many pets (non-combat, warlock, and hunter) are larger than normal, while Taurens and ogres are apparently smaller than normal. While amusing, this bug should be short-lived.
This isn’t strictly pet-related, but if you are on the PTR you have an opportunity to check out the Midsummer Fire Festival early — and it sounds like it’s been completely revamped! On the Blizzard Test Realm Forum Kisirani says:
The World Event Team has activated the revamped Midsummer Fire Festival on the PTR. The primary focus of the PTR testing is still on the content of the Isle of Quel’Danas, but if you could spare some testing time to review the holiday, we’d greatly appreciate it!
