Hellshot, when you train a new rank of pet skill, you only pay the difference between ranks, not the total of both of them. So in your example you will only spend 15 training points for rank 2, since you already paid 15 for rank 1.

“In my (admittedly) very simple tests with pet respecs, the cost appeared to reset all the way back down to 10 silver (instead of decaying 1 gold at a time). And this reset wasn’t dependent on time so far as I could see — or at least not simple real-world time. Fight with a pet for a bit and log back in the next day and his respec cost had reset, but stick another one in the stable overnight and his hadn’t. So … there is a bit more research to do there!”

Mania, when you used to go out & fight for a bit with the new pet did it ever level or gain loyalty when you did? In my own testing I found that when my pet gained a level the cost to reset his talent points was reset. I believe the reason for this was b/c of the costs to choose the next rank of a skill. Like avoidance rank 1 costs we’ll say 15sp, rank 2 costs 30sp. When your pet levels up enough to use rank 2 you pay the 30sp + rank 1 15sp = 45 total sp spent. If you were to reset the points you could just buy the rank 2 for 30sp, & save that 15sp for another skill. Once the patch is released we could do tests to see if the cost reset is time based or based on your pet leveling up. Hopefully this helps.

kie where did you hear that? iv respeced my ghost wolf several times and never had any feeding issues come up.
if your talking about the thing the trainer says,i think thats just some poorly worded text,used as an excuse for why its supposed to cost more each time…

Does respecing effect how mich you have to feed your pet? At curent pets lose happyness faster after respecing.

Dual specs is something Blizzard are still working on, it won’t be in at Wrath launch. There are a lot of tricky issues they will have to work through before that functionally can be added (e.g. when you respec, you will likely want different action bar and keybind setups, hunters will need special handling to cope with the 51-point BM talent, what happens if a Titan’s Grip warrior respecs but doesn’t have room in their bags to remove the second 2-hander?, will each spec have a specific set of associated glyphs? etc, etc). They have said they still want to do it though – so hopefully we will see it in a content patch next year some time.

Regarding last names, Neth mentioned the other day that surnames are still something they might add in the future, but it isn’t high on the to-do list at this point in time (and definitely won’t be in for Wrath release).

ok I decided “king of stings” is just too gaudy so i’m king of wasps now. I agree that 10g isn’t too much but it’s good to know that it will be even less in the expansion =^D

Well I earn about 10g per daily now, I’m guessing maybe 20g a daily in WotLK min highest guess at about 30g. But even now for a 70 hunter 10g is nothing much.
