Rey: Good question! So far as I know the you refers to the croc here, like it does for Growl and Cower. I’ll double-check that next time I have a chance.

Any clarification on croc’s skill being a counterattack when the pet is damaged, or the hunter? The tooltip says “you.” /shrug

“Am I the only one who thinks its hilarious that tallstriders and moths are DPS pets? It also seems a bit odd that spiders got a talent named after them in the ferocity tree…. and are in the cunning tree.”

I agree that is strange why not kick Moth and put Ravager in there!?

Glee! I get to keep all my pets when the expansion comes! Oh wait… I have a wolf, cat and owl… 1 cunning and 2 feros. I will need a tank pet. I’ve had the wolf forever and a day. And when I tamed my lynxie, it felt like I got my “purr-fect” pet… til growl was altered some time ago. I’m very attached the wolf and cat, and I don’t want to drop the owl. I just finished leveling her! ;_;

@Yoco: you aren't seeing correctly. There are plenty of pet AoE skills left and some new ones - Screech stays (as Demoralizing Screech), Bears get Swipe, Gorillas keep Thunderstomp, Dragonhawks keep Firebreath, Crocolisks get damage reflection, Spore Bats get Spore Cloud, Tallstriders get Dust Cloud. More details at Petopia

I have the same problem Yoco, only slightly worse. As in my pets at current are a wolf, a cat, and a carrion bird. And no, screech is not going away, is has been renamed demoralizing screech, and is now available only to the carrion bird family, the AoE debuff still applies.

[...] On Friday, thanks to Nimizar, we learned about the new Pet Talent Trees in the Wrath of the Lich King beta. And soon enough we figured out which pets use which trees. [...]

All three of my hunters now have the same problem: for each of them, both pets are in the same category. Two of them ended up with a carrion bird & a cat (both now classified as dps pets), and my third hunter has a boar and a turtle (both now classified as tanking pets). So I guess there are going to be some hard decisions which pet to keep, and which to abandon, as keeping two pets in the same category probably doesn’t make sense… :(

Btw – am I seeing correctly that ‘Screech’ no longer exists? Or any other pet AoE spell, for that matter?

First thing I noticed was that each teit had 35 points to spend in, yet we only get 16 talent points, gonna have to pick and choose, which will be fun figuring out how to put those points in. (at least for me)
