I can confirm the Ghostwolf pet is working in the Beta he transitioned as a normal member of the wolf family, at least for now…

While we’re talking beta, is levelling/XP going to change? Currently levelling with two pets is possible (takes about half a level per), but with 3 permanent pets, are they making levelling faster?

Looks like croc’s retaliate just got nerfed to 45 secs as well.

Bah, for a while I thought things were going to be different.

Sorry Zefram, counters physical melee attacks. And UGH, if they nerfed pin that badly I am going to be angry. But so far WoWhead is confirming the changes, which isn’t reassuring me. If these changes did go through, it’d be nice if the hunters in beta could start a ruckus. Thats just lousy, to give those families something really nice, then make it into meh-ish.

Zefram, from the videos I have seen the crocs bad attitude constantly counters everything, no cooldown, for a two minute time period. That may or may not have changed in the last patch, still trying to dig up if it has or not.

Ugh, Bradagore, I hope that thread is wrong, otherwise nether rays and crocs just got screwed hard. Personally I think all three of the possibly nerfed pets NEEDED strong abilities, having been on the back burner for so long. And honestly I’d take a one second silence for the nether ray on a 30/20 second cooldown over a two second silence on a 100/40 second cooldown any day.

Can you confirm something about the Crocidile’s ability Bad Attitude — it appears to be similar to the warrior’s Retaliation ability.

Does it have a set number of charges? Or does it retaliate constantly for two minutes? Is there a mandatory delay between retaliation strikes?

I currently use a bat for AoE tanking while grinding, and I’m trying to figure out what the best AoE tank is going to be. Bear vs. Croc seems to be the matchup.

“Froststorm Breath” appears to be it’s family trait?
