I like the present pet families. Even if I look in askance at some other folks pet choices, the principle of RP is you build your character to suit yourself not others. In the critical WOW end gamers lexicon this seems ludicrous, but to old RP gamers like myself (who heaven forbid used dice, hex sheets, tokens, and imagination to game), the weaknesses of our characters and the group ability to cover each other (what guilds are really all about) are the bedrock of an enjoyable gaming experience.

I have no use for dragonhawks and sporebats, but they sure are pretty!!! Those who run them, even if a very small minority, obviously are happy for the choice. WotL would be a poor expansion if it didn’t give us some new pet family choices. After all, who knows what’s been surviving al this time in the frozen wastelands and mutated/corrupted by the magics at work there?

That said…. Please!!! Please!!! Please!!! Blizz, please give us a new gorilla skin and at least 2 more ranks of Thunderstomp!!

Unfortunately, new high-level skins never do me any good because I can never get rid of my best friend. I can’t even brind myself to use a second pet. My highest level hunter has a black Outland raptor in the stable while I continue to use my sapphire-blue crab from Durotar for everything.

I’ve read a lot of good suggestions here (and they do have undead cats BTW — what else do you call a ghost saber? :P) – though I heartily agree with the need to first round out neglected pets that are currently available…

In re: pet talents… for me at least the biggest gain that might come from this would be to make it possible for non-BM spec hunters to solo. I know it is *possible* to make an effective solo hunter without BM talents under the current trees, but for the most part it’s been my experience that anything spending a lot of points on MM or surv tends to have trouble keeping the aggro on their pet, unless they stick to autoshot.

That would be one gap they could fill with pet talents (although it would entail an overall potential increase in their power beyond simply making them more diverse).

Just a guess, but I’m thinking Sea Lions for two reasons…

1)They fit the Northrend theme and
2)They’re listed on Thottbot at the moment with a diet (not entirely sure why though).

I’d like to see a new style of learning Pet Skills. That way, we can keep 3 pets full time, and not have to tame simply for the skills. For example, you want to learn a new Screech rank. You would take your beloved little birdy with you, and begin fighting a monster who knows the ability screech. The hunter can use some (new) spell to make the pet focus on the battle, staying out of it, and watch and learn the new skill from the monster. That would be easy enough.

I’m honestly hoping for more pet variety to be able to tame (even if it’s not a new family).. though, at least one new family would be nice. :3

Like… What about the Basalisks? The Moths? Worms? Stags? Pterrordax? (just to name a few, of course).. Though having new families would be awesome – allowing us to tame some of those families that we already -have- (but can’t use) would make me pleased as punch.

Not to mention the “neat” colors that we can’t have, of the current families.. Sunblade Dragonhawk (the blue one) anyone? Or, how about that “Gezzarak the Huntress” (purple and green warp stalker)..?

Having things in the game, that we cannot -have- is a bit frusterating.. and yeah, I am the person with a crab… O.o; So, I for one would not be opposed to having the “other” pets in the game.. and I know quite a lot of people would be very happy if they were able to tame basalisks..

But of course, like a kid wanting christmas presents – I’ve always gotta’ be anxious for “what’s in that box” – and am all excited to see what new families come out.. you never know what you’re going to get.

I just hope it’s not the shoveltusk. XD

what i want most is for them to give us something for pets without later taking it away.
