Big Decision Time – Patch 3.0 Pets
Patch 3.0 is presumably almost upon us (although we’re still waiting for Blizzard’s confirmation) and like many hunters I am facing down a terrifying decision: what do I tame now? Extra stable space, tons of new pets, skills and talents … it’s too much for me!
Luckily I do have some basic guidelines in mind. I’m only really thinking about my two main characters right now — the horde of alts can wait. Mania (level 70 orc) and Kaet (level 70 dwarf) will both be using an exotic Beast Mastery spec, whether or not I tame any exotics. I want those extra pet talent points!
Now Mania will be keeping Cloud, her Twilight Runner, and Banshee, her Ghost Saber. (No way am I getting rid of either of them!) I’ll also be leaving at least one stable slot open for research taming, but that still means that I can pick up two more pets if I choose. Mania was never really tied to cats particularly — I just happen to have two of them — so the field is wide open.
My logical side says that I should grab one Cunning and one Tenacity pet, but my heart says I should save a spot for Loque’nahak the Spirit Beast, who is after all the most exotic cat in the game. On the other hand, it may be a long, long time before I can tame Loque, so perhaps I should start by playing around with other pets and seeing what feels best. But what pets?
Kaet has a different problem. Kaet has always been a crab hunter and nothing but a crab hunter. And with five pet slots she could conceivably keep one of each color crab, plus an open spot for research taming. (It’s important that I keep a spot open for research on both Horde and Alliance.)
But given that my whole ‘level with each pet to see how it plays’ is pretty well shot under the new system, does it really make sense to keep four crabs? Of course if I don’t keep Kaet’s crabs, I’ll have to figure out which to release: Frore (the blue crab), Tibri (the red crab), or Niffis (the white crab)? Or I could — goddess forbid! — release two of them.
Either way, we’re back to the same problem: Which new pets do I want to tame?
Actually, that’s the wrong question. Because I play on RP realms, the real question should be: Which new pets do my characters want to tame?
Luckily, Mania the character and Mania the player have very similar taste. So maybe a silithid and … maybe a worm? Or a dragonhawk and a bear … Or I did have a scorpid for awhile on Mania, so I could go back and grab Death Flayer again.
But Kaet … what does Kaet like? Kaet likes crabs. I have no idea what else she might like as a pet.
Sheesh, this is hard. Blizzard, why do you torture us this way?!

As for myself, I think i’ve got it down:
Chimera from Winterspring (I’ve ALWAYS wanted one)
My lovely Sian-Rotam
Devilsaur for PvE dps
Corehound just because its freaking badass (the red one from mc, not the imitation failure green ones)
and finally, a Worm until I hit 76 to level with, then Loque allll the way xD
They torture us because we asked for it.
And I’m sure Kaet would love anything with a crunchy outer-shell. Perhaps she’d be interested in a turtle?
Personally, Nissi has been a Wind Serpent hunter since I was a youngling. I have kept many other pets, from a cat, to a bear, and even leveled with a scorpion back when they were broken.
I will NOT get rid of my Arash-ethis since I was 49 and had a Washte Pawne before that. I have always wanted a gorilla and even leveled a secondary hunter with one for a while. I will more than likely pick up a Gorilla because of this.
Because of the need for (1 of each family type), I believe that I will pick up the red wasp as my Ferocity pet. I have had the pleasure of playing with a wasp on the ptr and have enjoyed the “white noise machine” sounds and its wonderful Faerie Fire debuff while questing and farming.
Pvp pet is looking to be either a Hyena, a Serpent or a Core Hound. Yet since the CH is dispellable, the Serpent’s spit will be more useful since it can mask a Viper sting fairly effectively and has a debuff of its own, unlock scorpid poison. Add into that, the Roar of Recovery aspect of the cunning pet, and you have a winner in a mana draining world of PvP (especially since AoV has been pretty much unchanged from its anti PvP state.)
Lastly, I will probably pick up a Spirit Beast. More than likely to replace my own cat when I hit that level. However, I am also looking at a worm. To be honest, the Exotic’s haven’t impressed me much. I was hoping for more silithud type’s. Was hoping for Talbuk’s and Clefthoof (seriously do not understand why they couldn’t make a clefthoof the same as a Rhino). I was hoping for an Elekk/Mammoth as well. So many things they could have done, but did not with Exotic’s…
What no mazzaranche?
Boy I had no trouble filling up my stable on PTR. I’ll be getting the same pets tues
I’ll keep my white tiger and get
2. Devilsaur
3. Chimera
4. Corehound
5. last but certainly the most fun Gorilla
Seriously aoe fun with that Gorilla can’t be missed!
So of course everyone should have these lol But Moth looks nice, Croc is way fun and sturdy. In a month you can save a slot for a rino
It’s a hard decision. I know what I’ll be getting though
1. I’ll keep my wolf, in case I ever switch to marksman (although I doubt I will)
2. Worm, for a nice tenacity pet
3. Corehound, for a nice ferocity pet
4. Silithid, for a nice cunning pet
5. Rhino, a PvP pet
I still can’t decide which of 2-4 I’ll be mainly using solo. Worm is good for tanking and I like it’s ability. Corehound is just plain awesome. And Silithids are cunning, so I pretty much don’t even need to feed it with Carrion Feeder talent.
God, I wish we could have unlimited pet slots (Like mounts and companions)…I’d get one of each family :).
I’ve been using the beta mostly for figuring out exactly that. Forget levelling. forget the Deathknight (by the time I stole my horse I was already sold on a DK alt anyway), forget Inscription… I was too busy taming every pet in the list that walked into range. Trying them out, seeing which skills mesh with my play style, checking the synergy between BM talents and pet trees, and reminding myself why I hate certain pets so much that even a “godmode” skill won’t make me touch those with a ten foot pole in live.
Eryne my Horde alt will keep her pretty blue WS tiger (which will get a rename the minute I find the scroll for that – of course you see the perfect name 15 minutes AFTER naming your pet), and no way that the pretty black panther Asha is going to leave Tsani’s side. ‘Though both will keep an eye out for a Cursed Offspring of Har’koa in Zul’drak and Loque’nahak in Sholazar. 5 stable slots make me a very happy hunter.
For tanking both will have a Warpstalker: the green NS one for Eryne the Blood Elf, and the black one from Skettis for Tsani who likes pets that fit her colour scheme. If needed I’ll grab a gorilla along the way but I’m kinda hoping I won’t need to for Eryne (solo play) and won’t have to for Tsani (plenty of hunters & tanks in the guild).
Both will also keep an eye out for the green Owl from Dragonblight, but I don’t know yet how useful their snatch skill will be in PvE and if it is enough to offset the annoying flapping sounds. With the caster stats gone, Eryne will probably pick up a Dragonhawk from the higher level areas of Eversong Woods, and Tsani will keep her black Wind Serpent (which is simply gorgeous in under water areas).
Tsani will most certainly pick up the Kurken, she’s wanted to tame that beasty since before she could tame beasts. It may just end up an annoy-people-and-show-off-your-BM-madness pet, but with a guild nicknamed “Nutties” for the last 5 years I might even be asked to bring it on a raid.
I’ve been speedily leveling my Blood Elf hunter, Keb, to 70. He’s at 67 so far with 2200g (farmed from my 70 rogue) and all the mats for his engineering mount. My plan’s to get epic flying and a red nether ray mount sometime before Halloween :-D
In terms of pets, I plan getting rid of my bat. I’ll keep my red Blade’s Edge Raptor as my DPS pet for dungeons, raiding, etc.
On patch day, I plan on taming on of the red/black Turtle from Hinterlands for tanking and difficult quests.
Post-WotLK, once Keb hits lvl 76 he’ll be picking up the red demon Wolf for general questing.
And finally at lvl 80 I plan on taming a red Corehound and the pink/purple Chimera, both for PvP fun.
I have a wolf, warpstalker and a windserpent keeping those :P i think ill get a black boar from durotar and a black gorilla from stv but probably gonna tame the boar first and wait with the gorilla so i can try some new pets :)
Well….
I’m going to start post-patch with the 49/12/0 build, so I can get GFtT from the MM tree. I’ll then fill in the BM tree as I level.
So.. with no exotics right away…
1) Cat – still very good DPS.
2) Wolf – good general group buff
3) Gorilladin – nuff said
4) Wasp – good instance debuff and nice dps
5) Warpstalker (the black one) for PVP
Once I get to 75 or 75, and get the 51 point talent, then I’ll experiment with a exotic or two.. Probably a Worm replacing the Cat.
I’ve been giving this question a lot of thought. Unless Blizz makes more changes, I think I’ll go with:
Cat – had since level 10, never getting rid of him :)
Wasp – good pet for groups with no Druid
Wolf – Have always wanted one. Good for groups without a Warrior.
Gorilla – Excellent tanking pet
Bird of Prey – For PvP
Will probably go 50/21 or some variation on 49/17/5.
I made a spreadsheet of all the pets I want and all the hunters I have. I only have one level 70 hunter, so she gets first pick and the rest get either pets I can get low level or that I’m willing to wait for to have. I’ve made sure that each hunter has a pet from each of the three trees and there are plenty of stable slots left for the different exotic pets I’m interested in.
My main will stick with the warp stalker, owl (bird of prey) and wolf that she has. I’m looking forward to getting a Devilsaur – dark blue kind – so I imagine that’s the first exotic I’ll be getting. :)
There is no way i’m leaving Eva (original beast -> Rak’shiri) for any other pet cause she simply looks AWESOME.
I have already tamed a black bear (named kali) so as to have and try a tenacity pet.
Still dont know if i want to be MM or BM (currently Survival for the past 4 months). I always hated being so depended on my pet but they really look a bit stronger now and could really last longer.
:)
Keeping my Ghost wolf
2) Black Warpstalker
3) Rhino
4) Devilsaur
5) Hard decision. Was gonna be corehound, but I think I’m gonna replace my Ravager (Named Voidwalker) with a Silithid with (Who’ll carry on the tradition)
Got a 2nd hunter at 63. May try Worm, Spirit Beast, Core Hound,Firefly, and Armored Boar or the black barbed Spider from Bloodmyst Isle. Zarak I think.
I’m bee-lining to SV to get my gorilla back. It made my soul bleed when i had to dismiss him to make space for raiding and training pets. With the new leveling scheme, i should be able to get Whampage back up to speed well before the x-pac hits. Rojotrece, the tawny lynx, and Bonesaw the raptor will maintain their place. That leaves me two slots to work with.
Wolf, cat, serpent, rhino, …..not sure. Devilsaur, maybe, I have always liked them. I’ll probably float around on that last slot for a while until I find one that really calls to me.
1) Ghost wolf
2) White lion
And, with 3.0…
3) Devilsaur
4) The Kurken / Moth / Black windserpent, Azeroth skin
5) A rhino. Why didn’t Blizz put the thunder beasts in the Barrens under this family? Or kodos? Or clefthooves? :/
I’m keeping my Dragonhawk that I ran to Eversong for as a level 11 Draenei. No chance I’m giving that one up, now that I can actually use him.
Other than that:
Worm (blue one from Maraudon), Wasp, Moth (blue model), and probably a Sporebat or Nether Ray for that last spot. It feels wasteful that I’m only using one exotic and it’s not the iconic Devilsaur or even a Core Hound, but meh. Although if I can get a group to let me tame Magmadar I totally will. >.>
I have two hunters: my Survival raiding hunter (who is my main) and my ‘Mini-me’, a BM play-time grinding hunter.
My Survival hunter, Kurasu, is still a bit uncertain about what all he wants. So far, though, it’s looking like I have a few sure things:
A) A Gorilladin. I came across Uhk’lok and decided to grab it while I had the chance
B) A White Serpent (probably a Coilskar Cobra) named Suresh. He’s my pride and joy, and I don’t intend to give him up.
This leaves three slots for pets. At the moment, my raiding pet is a Windserpent and my grinding pet (to be replaced by the Gorilla) is a Dire Raven. But there’s so many new choices now that I have no clue! I’ll probably hunt through them and analyze. I’d get him a worm in a *heartbeat*, if they weren’t exotic. Gloom.
As for my BM, that’ll be a lot simpler. Since he’s my ‘play time’ hunter, I’ll probably be stalking the world, looking for new and interesting pets at many turns. His Scarlet Tracking Hound will likely stay with him (my Big Red Hyena… hee hee), though I have plans to get him a Devilsaur and a Silithid, definitely. To be quite honest, Sundancekid (my Mini-me) is a rare-hunter; his only pets are those with unusual looks, rare creatures, or difficult catches. Where Kurasu wants to be noticed, Sundancekid more wants the challenge of the hunt.
And yes. His Big Red Hyena *is* named ButchCassidy.
It’s been really tough making this decision. However, I’ve finally got it narrowed down.
1. A Black Bear for leveling, tanking, and AOE tanking.
2. A Devilsaur for raid style DPS.
3. A Spirit Beast for general badass stuff. Mainly PVP.
4. A Chimera for PVP.
5. A Rhino for PVP, tanking, and general baddassery.
Of course, this list is changing constantly. We’ll see what happens. I still would like a Wolf, Wasp, Gorilla, etc. Who knows.
First hunter’s probably mostly retiring her current main pet (orange owl from Sethekk) in favor of her ghost wolf. She’s mostly retired though, in favor of hunter #2 (friend server transferred, I rolled hunter alt to play while chatting, ended up transferring myself and finished leveling). #2 is going to pick up a Winterspring chimaera for her normal pet, a warp stalker (black probably) for tanking, but not entirely sure what for raw DPS pet. Probably picking up a classic core hound, but that may be just for nostalgia and looks, at least for the moment I’m probably keeping my ghost saber for DPS (and semi-nostalgia, had him since level 20). Might “upgrade” my kitty to a spirit beast at some point though.
My 70 Troll will keep the Shy-Rotam cat, and the green warpstalker.
My lowbie Dwarf will keep the boar, and the nightstalker cat.
For my 70 and lowbie hunter, a bear is the first on the list for both. Undecided on others yet, I will play around a bit.
Blizzard pretty much confirmed 3.0 hits on the 14th.
Right now, Kivrin is using a serpent. My current plan is to keep one of each type of pet (Cunning, Tenacity, Ferocity) and test it out. As I doubt she’ll be 60 by that point, the rotation looks like so:
1. Serpent
2. Hyena
3. Scorpid
Once I get up to 60 (maybe a bit higher for one of the pets), I’m going Beast Mastery. Eventually, I hope to turn these into:
1. Serpent
2. Core Hound
3. Warp Stalker or Rhino
There you are, Sei. I was wondering where you’d gone.
Yup, as I recall they made a comment about only having a few days left to finish off your Ateish quest. Fun times.
For my double! Kivrin, you can have up to five pets, starting Tuesday ((most likely)). They are adding two stable slots.
no clue.but iv already got two of my lowbie horde alts waiting in the dre starting zone for their presiouse moths.mmmpresiouse moths…
Well, after spending the last few months taming and training anything and everything in Outland and Vanilla Azeroth, I *think* I have my stable set… but knowing me, it’ll all change as I play…
1) Myrddin, the blue tiger STAYS… hell, I’d harm anyone who ever tried to take him from me. ::grin::
2) I’m really loving the purple/scarlet girl-drink-looking Skettis Kaliri I just tamed– the sound she makes works for me, and I’m not minding all the flappiness. I had wanted the white eagle, but might keep this one… just wish now I had named her Daquiri. ;D
3) Core Hound — the Kurken; he looks kinda neat…
4) Held for the spirit jaguar when I hit the level… I’d HOPED they’d re-allow the ghost wolf, but the spirit cat is mega cool on his/her own.
5) Unknown… I know myself… leaving a slot open is a WISE thing. :D
I finally got a chance to play on the PTR today, and I toyed around with some of the new pets. Most are reasonably good, except for one: Devilsaurs. I swear those over grown lizards aren’t worth the frustration of trying to tame one! I tried and failed miserably at least 3 or 4 times to tame an orange one, but EVERY time the taming was almost done, he would roar and fear me. It actually almost killed me, and I’m 70! I finally got raging mad and killed the stupid thing. I did end up sucessfully taming the rare white one (no fear, thank god), but the loud footstomping got on my nerves.
I do regret that I’ll probably be dropping my warp stalker, Midori. I just don’t think charge and warp are gonna stack well at all. I have, however found a new love: crabs. I’ve always wanted one, but they were never viable cause of their limited skills. The blue ones are my personal favs. Out of curiosity (seeing as I NEVER see a high level hunter with a crab) I grabbed on in Ashenvale and was plensantly surprised at how big they get…and once I popped Beastal Wrath…HOLY CRAP THAT’S A BIG CRAB! So, I think I have found a suitable replacement for poor Midi.
I’ve also been drawn back to my old love of hyenas, and I plan on going back to SM and grabbing a red one. It’ll be a great packmate for my wolf (whome I have NO plans of dropping, not even for a Northrend worg).
Finally, there comes the exotics… Having looked over all the families, I decided I’m grabbing two of them. I’m getting a green silithid (just loved the colors) and a chimaera. I like the white/blue ones from Winterspring, but I imagine that will be a popular skin. I hate the outlands ones, even the purple one whom I’ve never seen. I’ll probably be making a trip to Stonetalon and grabbing one of the orangish brown ones.
I can tell you one thing: with the patch due tues. and me with a full day off…my husband and I will be hitting every darn instance and grabbing all my new pets (He plays a mage.)
So, I guess I’ll end up with:
1. Wolf
2. Crab
3. Hyena
4. Silithid
5. Chimaera
1> Gorilladin for farming/powerleveling. (since my poor owl is being nerfed)
2> Cat for raid dps.
In the event any exotics ever out damage cats or scorpids, I might pick up the talent, but it will probably be at 80.
I think I have Thorm’s five slots pretty much set now. I have to stick with my cat, Shambles (broken tooth). I’ve had him since i was able to tame him, which i guess is 38 (purely accidental chance that i found him after an ulda run). My wolf is the terrokar quest objective, renamed nicodemus. I have a silverback un goro gorilla taking it easy in the stables too. I think my five will be rounded out with the desolace gray-brown hyena. . . and a brown eagle (but that will have to wait til wrath).
I know what you mean Mania it will be difficult to choose pets now that every pet has some usefulness to them finally lol For my hunters I have decided:
My 70 Dwarf: Bear for tenacity, Hawk for cunning, not sure for ferocity.
My 70 Night Elf: Wolf for ferocity, Not sure for cunning, Turtle for tenacity.
My 70 Blood Elf: Springpaw cat for ferocity, crazed dragonhawk for cunning, not sure tenacity.
My 62 Draenei(work in progress lol): Sporebat for cunning, Moth or tallstrider for ferocity, not sure for tenacity.
So needless to say I have some figuring out to do still lol
I am super excited for this patch.
My N Elf hunter is definitely keeping her purple Winterspring cat.
I know I’m going back and getting a red hyena from SM, I had a yellow one until lvl 60 and then he just couldn’t hold aggro anymore so I dropped him. I’ve regretted it ever since. D:
I also know I want the demon wolf and the cursed offspring cat. I <3 the spirit beast I just doubt I’ll have the patience to tame him.
I also think I want one of the black armored boars for my tenacity pet.
The last slot will be my play slot…first core hound (Kurken!), then devilsaur, maybe throw in a moth or wasp…and rhino when I can get them…this is going to be fun.
Rose and Sacmis are staying,even though Rose became next to useless when I tested her in the latest PTR.I’ve had her since 11,so that’s a no go on releasing her.Into long term storage she goes,which saddens me to no end.
Going to get a Gorilla.I already have one on two low level hunter alts.Really want a MC Core Hound,but I doubt I’ll be able to find any assistance doing it.I’m not even sure our server has anyone attuned to MC.Really regret staying on that realm,at least on the Horde side.
My second favorite hunter Vocu will be sticking with Sapphire her blue crab.I haven’t given her up yet,I see no reason to now.It’s on a RP server,so mostly no one screams at you if you don’t have a max DPS pet,though she does plenty of damage.Crabs are often underestimated.
Haha..
1. My old ghost wolf. :P
2. Vargul Blighthound
3. King Krush
4. Spirit Beast… some odd funky name
5. Core Hound/Chimeara
I’m keeping my lynx as my ferocity pet, picking up a dragonhawk (going to pick up the same skin as my very first pet from Eversong) as my cunning and a bear as my tenacity! ^_^
I’m not sure if I’ll keep my wolf or not, but I’m definately letting my owl go as I’m quite bored of it. Kanaan would be quite devastated if she lost her FreddyCougar. She knew he was “right” pet for her when she laid her green glowing eyes upon him in Netherstorm!
I’m going to miss my Raven, which despite having ears looked pretty cool and was really good for solo stuff. I know Gorilla is supposed to have a similar utility (AoE tanking), but I’ll probably try out bear and see how well Swipe works.
I’ve had mine planned for weeks now.
* Gray Silithid rare spawn From 1k Needles.
*Jormungar Worm hen Wrath hits.
When* Gah, spelling bites.
Well, Palla, I’ve been busy with my blog work, getting firewood for this winter, and winterizing our house.
Right now, I have a Wolf on my Orc and that’s staying. A Cat on my Blood Elf, and that’s staying. I still haven’t decided on my Troll, though.
Good luck finding the “5″ pets that you want Mania. I like a little how (currently) there is only 1 cat-looking Spirit Beast. And I already know the “5″ pets that I’m gonna have in my Stable. The white Devilsaur, the Exotic, cat-looking Spirit Beast, a big, whitish rhino, a white lion and an albino eagle.
im still mad they havent puut a new talstrider skin or model in yet plwease blizz just put one skin i please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!but it is stlill a month three days till itcomes i can wait
Hmmm, I think Kaet should try either a silithid or a spider. Although that one screenie of her with the first devilsaur is still in my mind, their little mincing steps annoy me no end. Have one crab set up for farming, one for dps/grouping, and one to tank those nasty elites. For Mania, I’m leaning towards a serpent for some reason. Probably because of your RL reptile family. And a worm? Maybe the white one from DM.
For myself, my spore bat has stolen my heart, so he will be my cunning pet. The riding leopard skin(Dreadsaber) is awesome, so that will be my ferocity pet, and I’ll have a bear for an aoe tank. The Jormungar might end up being my supertank, and a silithid for pvp.
I plan on trying everything for a while and just using whatever feels best, utility-wise and RP-wise. Except I can’t get rid of my wolf or cat. I’ve had the wolf forever and I’m keeping the cat simply because I had to to level it to 70 from level 28. >.>
I am a 5 nights a week raider,for right now i will be swapping out my raptor for one of my cats,rake is doing great dps atm,almost the same as a devilsaur,nurf inc!.
once the xpac comes i will either level with a jung worm or a wolf. i will grab a spirit beast eventually,assuming they get fixed,if not its a waste of a stable slot atm.
Its such a hard call :(
I’ll never ever get rid of my spider, she’s been with me forever. And I’ll most likly keep my gorilla as well. For a second time, I’ll probably release my scorpion though.
I’m so pleased that all the pets have been brought up to a level field, I’ve always had a fondness for the pets that the majority don’t like. Which means I’ll be looking at Tallstriders and Sporebats. Have always wished Moths were tamable since playing the BC beta so I’ll definatly be looking at them as well. Wasps also I’m quite keen on.
Theres too many to chose from :P :P :P
My hunter will probably level with a Jormungar, since I tried them out on beta and was immediately entranced. I’d like to get a red hyena again since I leveled my hunter to 60 with one and was pretty sad the day I had to abandon it. I’ve always wanted to tame the Kurken but I’ll have to see how popular it ends up being. I’d like to try out a gorilladin but I have the feeling that by the time I get around to my hunter they’ll have been nerfed. The saber worgs are also pretty cool and would be a neat full circle for my hunter, since I made her in 2005 intending to sit around in Orgrimmar with my wolf mount, wolf pet and wolf mini-pet (which you can’t do anymore, of course).
She’s probably #3 or 4 to be leveled after my warlock, shaman and possibly warrior, though, so I’ll have plenty of time to watch what other people tame and influence my choices. I don’t like to look like every other hunter.
BETA TESTERS< PLEASE READ!
OK, I was cleaning up my quest log yesterdayand i was in Silithus doing a quest called “The Calling”. Ya know, the one where you draw glyphs in the sand at The Bones Of Grakkarond. anyway, to make a long story short: When you draw the glyphs, 3 “insects” appear. One is a Silithid and one is a wasp… A WHITE AND BLACK WASP! I was wondering if anybody in beta has tried to tame this wasp. It will probably be hard considering it is only spawnd during the quest, but I really must know if it is tamable. I really want a wasp as soon as they are tamable, and if this is tamable, it will be the one. So, if anybody has any info on this guy, please let me know. Like I said, this wasp is mine if tamable. Tnanks
1. Ghost wolf
2. Red lynx
3. Spiiiider…/drool
4. Gorilla
5. Saving for now, I absolutely ‘HAVE’ to play with the rhinos!
PS
Just went and checked and the wasp’s name is Aluntir… don;t know if that helps any, but that is his/her specific name.
Since I am a hunter freak, I have 3 hunters of varying levels, but I already know what I want to do with them.
Fieron:
Main pet is Aman (Mazz tamed, huzzah!) Ran and got him at level 18 and she has been my main pet ever since.
Recently tamed Deadmire for Bite 6, and I think I’m going to keep him since I like the crocolisk ability. Still don’t have a name for him though.
With the extra stable slots I am going to grab a turtle (the pet Fieron dropped to get Deadmire) and a moth. Last slot will be saved for once I am high enough to tame a Devilsaur, cuz I am pure BM atm.
Bopsilon:
Currently my lowest alt. Has a Bat named Dorini (Thalassian for Batman, believe it or not). Will probably run and grab a dragonhawk with her also, then a boar and crab from Durotar. She’s MM, so no exotic for her fifth slot. May keep it open for a wasp.
Predak:
Currently has a hyena named Shenzi. Will prolly grab a scorpid with her, but after that I have no clue. 3 slots waiting to be filled, but Predak has always been the hardest for me to get pets for. She’s gone through several, but none seem to stick.
And I’ll want to create more hunters just to play around with all the families. Hooray for 3.0
So wait..is this on tuesday that we can tame this stuff? or am I being lied to by my other hunter friends >.>
Korrupted…. as far as know, it is still an educated guess. I have never seen this date announced, but so far we are all speculating that this will be the day.
I’m actually leveling up another hunter right now so I can have fun playing with all the options. <.<
My night elf hunter will have to keep her red wind serpent, Minloth, and I don’t think I can part with her ghost saber Macavity, so that leaves her three spots to experiment with. I’m definitely going to try out a red core hound, but I’m not sure what I want for the other spots–gorillas are awesome, but don’t fit her very well. I’ve been wanting one of the brown chimaeras for a while now, so maybe one of those, and save the last spot for if I ever spot that spirit beast (who will probably end up named Tikbalang for giggles).
My little dwarf has a bear right now, and while I don’t particularly care for him, he’ll be great for leveling with. She’ll be getting a black and white gorilla as soon as she can though, and probably a red hyena, and anything interesting that I want to try out but not really commit to.
So
1. Red Wind Serpent
2. Ghost Saber
3. Red Core Hound
4. Brown Chimaera
5. ?
and
1. Dark Brown Bear
2. Gorilla
3. Hyena
4. ?
5. ?
hyena84: Why do I hear that in a very Homeresque tone? I hope you don’t intend to eat the moths!
Sukulatae: I think a worm might work well for Mania. Kaet had the white one and quite liked it.
Speaking of Kaet … I hadn’t even been thinking of a Core Hound because the drippiness makes me want to go wash my hands. But … The Kurken. I think the Kurken might work for my little dwarf lass.
And a double for me ..
Dweezill: As far as I know, none of the old world silithid wasps, Aluntir included, can be tamed. I;d be glad to be proven wrong, though. :>
Korrupted: It had better be Tuesday. This weekend I pretty much destroyed my ability to update Petopia until the new data is live.
I’ve got an Hoot (an owl), MichaelScarn (a ravager), and a Rand (a bear), who I’m going to be retaming once the patch hits, since its 62, and I am a really lazy hunter. As for the other 2 slots. Going with Devilsaur so I can run around Org like an idiot going “Boom boom boom boom boom” with my Devilsaur. I’ve yet to decide on the last one, and since we don’t need to keep it open for learning new rankings, I’m open to suggestions. Perhaps I’ll grab…oh…I dunno. Maybe a core hound because it looks awesome. We are taking a hunter friend into MC the day the patch hits to get him a core hound, maybe I’ll grab one too.
1)Tallstrider, debating between purple, blue and white
2)Nerfed, my scorpid from before 3.0
3)Gorilla, he is going to make all my paid instance runs a breeze :)
4)MC corehound, managed to solo tame one on the PTR, so i`m going to get one when the patch hits live :D
5)My first pet, Gena a cat, even though cats took a hit in 3.0, I plan on keeping her for sentimental reasons
I`m new to posting, usually just read, but everyone else was sharing what they were going to tame come 3.0, so I wanted to get in on the fun :)
I keep changing my mind, but here’s my latest:
crocolisk
wolf
spider
nether ray
hyena–will probably reluctantly replace with a high dps pet later on
Man its real hard I was usually a wolf man.
1. Ghost wolf- I won’t be able to get him bak so i can’t throw him out =P
2. Worm- have to have a tenacity pet and he can sunder =P
3. Devilsaur/spirit beast- gunna replace the devilsaur cus they are borring and make me feel like i’m trying to show off n b BIG
aww dang i accidently submited lol so i’ll continue
4. New Worg/magehunter- not sure wich 1 i was always a wolf-man =P
5. not sure maybe a corehound for pvp who knows maybe i’ll keep it open for another rareskin that comes out.
1. Ghost Wolf
2. Color Changing saber worg.
3. Spirit Beast
The last 2, not sure yet, but…
4. Corehound
5. ????
moths probubly taste funny.all that dust.goggle help me im already makeing a third alt to run out to azuremist.and ill probubly end up running my dre back out there for one since shes to low for the outlands ones.any word yet on the low level blue ones being tameable?
Gintokos: Your bear should level up to be within 5 levels of you when you pull him out of the stable, so unless you want to change colors you shouldn’t need to retame.
hyena84: Not yet. I was really hoping Ghostcrawler would revisit the thread on wasps (where I made a plea for the low-level blue moths as well), but I suspect he’s busy this weekend. :>
1.) Green chimera (or the purple one if it’s in our build) for PvE
2.) Devilsaur for PvP
3.) The kurken (Will be the rarest hound despite lvl)
4.) Keep Zeb (Trachela) for sentimental reasons
5.) Maybe grab a wasp or silithid
6.) Lots of researching…
Over many tough decisions and research (there are so many pets to choose from now) I’ve decided against any “flappys” (to annoying)I have finally decided on this thus far:
1: Hyena (Nanaki’s been with me so long theres no way I am giving him up)
2: Silithid (I’ve always wanted to tame them since I first saw one. And its my fav silithid model thats tamable to :D )
3: blight hound (if tamable come expansion) if not, Core hound
4: Spirit Beast (depending on what other skins come out…not to fond of cat models) if not, a rhino might be fun.
5: Open (random taming/experamentation
Almost time to say bye-bye to my low-slow-weak ghost saber, and my chronically deseased raptor…lol
Might try a Devilsaur for a bit, and maybe that fuzzy worm…probably spend the first few days trying out new pets and alternating between hunter and druid…Time to be Balance all the way…BOOMKIN!!
As for deathknights…I’ll make mine up, try it out, but then wait for the craze to die down before getting seriouse with it.
well for me i kinda only got 2 pets that “Lianardo” would want (i like to get into my caracters) but i was thinking my duel spec would be beastmastery for the heck of it and for pvp and/or money grinding. im hopeing for the green devilsaur in sholzar when i hit 76 but they never come true right away. so far im keeping the 2 i have right now
1. Dadanga (un’goro thunderer, my soul pet)
2. Ricky (humar the pridelord, taurenish feel to it)
i was hoping to get a cunnning pet and then mabe 2 exotic for offspec (since i couldnt even fill my first 3 slots) btu i digress. oh ya im servival and will stay like that because i think beastmastry as your main spec is kinda foolhartedly if your pet dies. i was thinking ither red spider, or the white eagle. probobly it will be like:
3. Spider (hopefully the red one)
4. rhino/another non exotic
5. Devilsaur (the green one and it will be open for the green one)
and the only reason y im posting this is because everyone else seems to be. lol
Im so “lucky” to have 3 hunters.. I aim to have all the pets in the game.. so making hunters until i can tame them all :P Big plans..But on my current 3 i will get:
Minuial (nigthelf lvl 70 hunter on argent dawn- always been beastmaster)
* Cunning: Chimera, Silith
*Ferocity: Spirit beast, Corehound
Tenacity:* Wurm
Kahlua (bloodelf lvl 70 hunter on argent dawn – also beastmaster)
*Cunning: Bird of prey (probally eagle)
*Ferocity; Devilsaur, Wasp
*Tenacity: Rhino and my beloved PinchyColada (scorpid)
Nessima (Survival hunter on Aggramar – currently lvl 56)
*Cunning: Spider, Bat
*Ferocity:Cat
Tenacity: Gorilla and turtle
Migth play a bit around with Nessimas pet.. not sure i want 2 tenacity pets :)
Still have alot of hunters to make.. 1 pet of eachlook.. whee.. i will have enough wow to play for 15 years :)..I am a petmaniac
I have 2 hunters. My original a female orc and my new main a female blood elf.
My orc is definitely a wolf hunter. She has the ghost wolf and she has a blue/grey wolf from Ashenvale. Now I could take this opportunity to get one of each wolf model to extend her pack, but she’s my alt, so Ill be going for my blood elf first.
Her main pet is her polar bear and Ill never get rid of it. Beyond that anything is open, so I kind of have the same problem. There’s plenty of cool new pets in wotlk so Ill probably keep most of my options open and just go for either a devilsaur or a corehound in 3.0
My Troll Hunter will go for BM spec and will tame pets that look feral but not weird like corehounds. He also has a preferance for white, black or grey pets, so I will get:
1: White or Black new Worg
2: Rhino
3: White Eagle
4: Probably the spirt cat
5: Not really decided on this slot
My Blood Elf hunter on the other hand will go for MM spec and has a thing for Arthropods, he will get:
1: He will keep Zarakh, which he has had since lvl 19
2: Blacksting
3: Aspatha
4: Bonespider
4: Some scorpid or crab
T’was easy to figure out what to do with my main Dalliah; She ain’t gonna tame any new pets. I just can’t imagine her with anything else than her flamingo Soccothrates.
Also, she’s gonna respec Marksmanship, since I won’t have big use of the 51 BM skill.
Anyways! Here’s my plan for my other lvl 70, Maree;
1) Piggy the pig. I’ll NEVER get rid of him :D
2) Frostsaber Pridewatcher. Gonna call him Odeko. And at lvl 76 he’ll get a new skin (http://petopia.brashendeavors.net/wotlk/mobs/shango.php)
3) Strider Clutchmother. Tallstriders ftw.
4) Vargul Blighthound, if they don’t remove it.
5) ..Ugh, got no idea, there’s so many things I wanna tame =.=
First, King mosh!!! <3 king mosh. taken him down solo twice, and can’t wait to tame him, gonna camp his spot a few days before WotLK, then soon as install tame him. Then go make DK etc etc :P
Then when high enough, King Krush.
Going to abandon all other pets. Then tame a gold worm, A new skinned brown worg, and a Spirit beast. Maybe there’ll be a spirit beast wolf, if so that over anything. Twas a had decision, looking at all the new silithids, rhinos, wasps, moths etc. Maybe I’ll get rid of the brown worg if I get a spirit beast, and let it open for pet abilities etc.
Ah, I neglected to mention: I’ll be taming Mazzranache on Maja, my blood elf alt. (I had traded Mazz for the Strider Clutchmother, but now I think I’ll get both. And eventually a Lost Torranche.)
Mania – From what little I’ve seen of Kaet, I imagine her with smaller, shorter, “solid” pets. It might just be me being distracted by the dwarf thing :D Turtles are kinda large, but they have the short legs. I’m not sure what else I can imagine… maybe a hyena or a warp stalker? :)
It’s so hard to choose between all the pets! I feel really spoiled (thanks Blizz <3). The stable slot shortlist for my belf is:
1. Cat (Snow Leopard, her pet since level 10)
2. Raptor (Takk the Leaper, in honour of my first hunter’s “main” pet)
3. Warp Stalker (for a tenacity pet)
4. [pvp] Hyena or a cunning pet.
5. [spare] :D
Dweezill
Last time I was in Beta Silithus only the “dps” type of bugs were tamable. NONE of the other insects showed up on the beast radar, and no beast tag seems to mean no taming either. Can’t check your white wasp, cause I did that quest already on both hunters. :(
But since they seem to have missed tagging the Azuremyst/Bloodmyst moths as tamable and the Northrend Wasps do have a taming tag, I’m hoping that they’ll fix those in a few patches. It took em two tries to get rid of caster stats too. ;)
Mania
Kurken would be a lovely Corehound for Keat. No messy drooling and nice warm fur, ‘though it does seem a bit odd to see a pet with a frost effect use red fire as breath weapon.
While making my list I saw that we seem to be missing one Tenacity pet, we have 10 Tenacity vs 11 Cunning & Ferocity. Does anyone know if there are still unopened areas in Northrend? I hate bugs (even if they do have some cute animations), but I wouldn’t mind seeing that last spot filled with the beetle/tank type bug from Silithus. It would give bug lovers a pet for every tree.
Ok, now only being lv 35 I actually have a tougher job than most of the rest of you 8D.
Blood Elf btw.
Step One: Run to Azuremyst (again) *groan*
Step Two: Die; a lot.
Step Three: Tame a Vale Moth (Unless the blue ones become tameable)
Step Four: Head North to BloodMyst
Step Five: Die a few more times
Step Six: Tame Zarakh
Step Seven: On the way back stop off in Wailing Caverns and tame a Deviate Crocolisk and a Deviate Viper.
Thats my Tuesday evening plan. Looking forward to it ^^
I’ll keep my beloved wolf Tiarna(who was featured here in a Name That Pet, I’m the Hunter with the long story=P)
I’ll keep my Ghost Saber Mina
I’ll probably get rid of Elleoce, my pretty brown owl because their new skill sucks=( Seems very situational
I’ll get myself either a black or a white bear
I’ll get myslef one of those Silvermoon Dragonhawks(I’ve always, always wanted a Dragonhawk although they, in my eyes, have been nerfed=()
And then I don’t know wheter I want a Mazzarance, a Deviate Dreadfang(Wind Serpent), a scorpion, a gorilla or a wasp =P
I want a Core Hound(Kurken is like the cutests ever!) but I’m not BM(and never will be). Survival all the way.
My other lowbie hunter will keep her Tamara(Strider Clutch mother, Tallstrider) and Lynx named Azrael.
And then probably get a Serpent.
And then a Cheetah
Lat spot: open =P
It’s so hard to choose now XD
I agree with the majority here, so hard to choose what goes in those 5 slots! It’s hard to believe that we’ve been managing with just 3 for these past few years when 5 slots doesn’t seem enough!
So, here’s what I have planned for Durana, my dwarf hunter:
1. My black wolf Kharash. Kharash has been with me for years now and I wouldn’t give him up for the world. /huggles!
2. A tan Silithid… which I’ll have to think up a name for.
3. Tarango the red Gorilla. I actually picked him up last night, such a beatiful colour! And Gorilladin tanking looks fun ;P
4. An eagle. I’m trying to decide which colour though, the gorgeous brown or the stunning white. Arg!
5. Hrm… I’m not too sure about this slot. Maybe an orange Core Hound if I don’t find anything that clicks with Dura.
Me, i choose Devilsaur for dps, i’ll keep my Rakshiri, and i’ll probably tame a sporebat and the corehound lvl 12 ^^
Mania and Tsani… thank you fotr the ifo. Just hopoe they make the black and white wasp tamable. i would really like that one. If not, I guess Blacksting will do. lol
The only pet I’m REALLY attached to is my gorilla, I’ve had george since he was lvl 32. (The earliest I could tame one) Although his coat has changed color as he aged. His last color change was when he wondered off and ate some strange berries in a cave in Un’Goro. When I found located him, he was all confused and disoriented from the [Crystal Berries]. But now he sticks just as close as ever to my side.
My cat will one day be replaced by the Spirit beast cat, since I’ve never been attached to any single cat, but I’ve always had one white or mostly white version or another. (Spirit cats fit the white bill too)
I’ll get a Devilsaur (The white one of course) for DPS since my tests on the PTRr put them slightly better than cats.
I’ll get the white Core Hound just to keep with the theme.
And last . . . . well I’ll probably wait until lvl 80 to pick a white #5 although a rhino does sound like fun to send into a pack of casters in PvP (especially on a tower in AV)
Im having a tough time deciding what i want come tuesday but here is what i think ill take
1. Sechalo my netherstorm raptor (love savage rend crits ^^) he might “evolve” into a devilsaur though ^^
2. Speckle my Ghost saber.
3. More then likely a gorilladin crocolisk or bear for grind tanking.
4. Silithid For PvP gonna name it jitters because of their little dance ^^ (need to decide on a color though).
5. This slot will be either Blacksting from zang or the kurken (since im on a PvP server the kurken might have to wait a week or two :( ).
I’m definitely keeping my Ghost Saber and pink Dragonhawk. As for the rest, I will probably drop my ravager and get a crab. I also really want a Rhino <3. I have NO clue what I want as my 5th pet…
I’ve been thinking about this a great deal lately. One thing is certain: I’m never releasin Usva, my main’s Ghost Saber who has been there ever since I dinged 20 on my trial account. I also have the Silvermoon Dragonhawk in my stable, but am not yet sure if I’m going to keep him.
Nanyana, main
1. Cat (Ghost Saber)
2. Dragonhawk / Bird of Prey /Bat
4. Worm (Either the Jormungar or yellow one. I’d prefer the Jormungar, but it seems like they’re going to be awfully common. <.<’)
5. Maybe the pink Wasp from Zangarmarsh?
Tarys, RP main
1. Cat (Duskstalker, will be replaced by a Spirit Beast)
2. Cat (Dishu)
3. Bear (Black skin, later to be replaced by Diseased Black Bear)
4. Wind Serpent (Azzere the Skyblade)
5. Core Hound (Kurken)
Nanys, horde main who hopefully won’t turn out BM :P
1. Wolf (Prairie Wolf, barking cutie)
2. Boar (Raging Agam’ar) [Rhino if she ends up BM after all]
3. Serpent (Deviate Adder)
4. Carrion Bird (Stormcrow)
5. Turtle (Kresh – even though this skin is available 5 levels earlier, getting the elite one for fun)
Phew, that was loads of fun. :D
I think I’ll be getting rid of my Ripfang ravager to make room for my new gorilla, my wasp, and Loque’nahak. Keeping Trachela so far, and the last spot will be a demon hound. Names tho…. >_<
well in my main hunter i dont feel like i can release anny of her 3 beasties.
the white lion has been with me to long. the ghost wolf no way i ever leave it.
Kara bat, good friend played the bait for the rest of the bats while i ran in safety and started taming. bat is named after him.
i will be getting a chimera no doubt. but then ill have 2 dps pets and 2 cunning. id like a tanking pet but i dont like anny of em :( so my last spot will most likely go to a wasp/corehound/demonhound.
I’m fortunate that my hunters only have one pet each. Tarjin has her crab Buster, my Tauren has tallstrider Chiskwa, and my dwarf has bear Frost. My problem is deciding which pets to add. I reckon that I should have a tanking pet for each, so the tauren needs to pick up a tank; and then they need some sort of pet for DPS–but which one? I suppose beyond that I should just let each character stumble upon whatever other pets seem right for them.
I tried and failed miserably at least 3 or 4 times to tame an orange one, but EVERY time the taming was almost done, he would roar and fear me. It actually almost killed me, and I’m 70!
No Freezing Trap? o.o; Works great on almost anything.
Anyway, I played around a lot on the PTR and finally decided what my hunters would use.
Main draenei hunter
1- Crocolisk (gotta <3 Bad Attitude!)
2- Worm (after my freshly tamed 65 one tanked a Fel Reaver I was set!)
3- Devilsaur (always wanted one)
4- Core Hound (red one from MC I love the burning fire sound effect)
5- Silithid (seriously, Cunning is better than people assume)
Alt tauren hunter
1- White/blue worg Wolf model
2- White lion Cat model
3- White Wind Serpent
4- White Warp Stalker
5- White/blue Gorilla
Alt draenei hunter
1- Red Crab
2- Red Hyena
3- Red Moth
4- Green Outland Chimera
5- Rhino (not sure which one yet)
My alt female blood elf hunter, I know I want one of the other wolf model, prolly start with the coyote one before I switch to the saber worg one, and an owl. No idea what I’ll tame next with her.
I’ve put a lot of thought into this myself, and I think i’ve made my decisions:
1. For soloing and such, the light blue silithid wasp, Silithid Hive Drone, will use a green firefly until I can get one.
2. For PvP the brown rhino, Wooly Rhino Matriarch.
3. Solo tenacity, a scorpid. Probably a solid yellow one.
4. Cunning, serpent, the brown emperor cobra from sholazar.
5. And i’ll probably throw in a moth just for fun, the beige one, Teromoth.
I am getting:
A sentry worg
Loque’nahak
The Kurken
A fjord hawk matriarch
Aspatha the Broodmother
1. Gorilla for Aoe Tanking, maybe lvlning
2. Rhino, just awesome
3. Raiddpspet (Cats got a little nerf dunno if they are still #1)
4. Wolf, Turtle, Spirit Beast, Sporebat – something i just wanna have ^^
5. a Pvp Pet, maybe Spirit Beast or Sporebat or a Spider, Hyena or an Owl or Netherray or Corehound or …. :S
I would say the silthed for leveling and showing off :), ravanger for dungeons, and a rihno.
My 70 troll Boogga will have:
1. Samurai(Shy-Rotam) is staying no matter what, she is Boogga’s baby
2. Brown chimaera from Stonetalon
3. Devilsaur, either red or black, haven’t decided yet
4. Rhino, will have to wait for WotLK
5. My play spot, will probly use it for the spirit beast
32 BE Kaledain:
1 & 2. He will be keeping Ashkeyana & Kechara, his red lynx & owl
Once he levels a bit more…
3. Probly a silithid
Still gotta think about 4 & 5, but I got time since he’s still pretty low
My RP BE Gwyn, level 15:
1. already has a white worg
2. moth from Bloodmyst Isle
3. black windserpent from WC
All my other hunters are still really low, around Gwyn’s level, & have 2-3 pets already so they probly won’t change for a long time. I do eventually want a saber worg for Kaledain & a wasp on somebody, don’t know who yet
Taming 2 versions of Uhk’loc. Unique gorilla, even in Northrend. One will sit in my stable, the other I will take to northrend for mass AoE grinding.
Reasning being then If i’m in the area of the Spirit Beast and I see it, I can abandon the gorilla to acquire the spirit beast, which I will be using as my dps pet. But I will keep the second Gorilla because it is awesome for AoE and quick mob kills.
At 80 might tame a silithid or something for pvp
A rhino is definitely on my taming list, once it becomes available.. Though, if Blizz ever sees fit to lump Kodos into that category, you’d better believe I’ll be abandoning my Rhino for a Kodo.
Humar, Mazzranache and Uhk’loc are already tamed, waiting to get a free level-up to 65 when 3.0.2 goes live ^^ Especially the Gorilladin is a must-have for me. Can’t wait to solo all that 5-mans soon.
PS: In Northrend, I’ll add a wolf with that fantastic new model to the stable, and the elusive spirit beast.
Well for me, the choices are easy for the moment. As of now, I am a MM hunter and plan to stay that way. Though I might try out BM to see how that works.
My pets list so far is:
Equinox – My level 64 white Croclisk I have had since level 50.(The SewerBeast from SW) He is finally getting a real skill. Always thought crocs should of had an rend armor or huge chomp skill.
Veridian – My level 70 green warpstalker
Then I plan to go grab a Hyena, probably red or purple and name her Harleen or Harley. (extra points if you get the referance. LOL)
The other two slots I will be holding till I see something else I want to tame. If I wind up going BeastMaster, then I will be adding a Corehound from MC to the list and maybe a silithid.
My pet list is gonna look like this:
Barnaby, my red crab from Durotar (had him since I finished taming quest, he was lvl 5 lols)
a devilsaur (black one)
a silithid (red one)
warp stalker (black-ish/purple one) or wasp (Blacksting)
Core Hound (probably a green one, since I’m too lazy to go to Azuremyst for Kurken and I doubt I’ll get a raid just to tame a red one)
sry for double: I have a cookie for anyone who knows wat my crab’s name references XD
I’m going to be survival when patch comes out and wondering if anyone can help me. U love my ghost wolf, but will it be viable raid dps, or just a show-off? If it won’t be viable, what should I get?
1) Ghost saber
2) Gorilla
3) Scorpid
4) Serpent
5) Unsure
I most likely will be staying Marksman, if I went BM hat list would be,
1) Ghost Saber (never going anywhere love that cat)
2) Chimaera (specifically “The Evalcharr” because I have to dominate him)
3) Core hound (probally “The Kurken” unless I get a red one)
4) Worm (either one form Maraudon or Oozeworn or Grubthor)
5) Gorilla
Come WoTK I would replace the worm with a Rhino
Aerye (27) – Hunter friend of mine tamed that red/purple owl and named it Strudel. ^-^
Selesti (28) – With the 51-point talent down to 4 points, I’m actually considering getting a warp stalker *because* warp and charge overlap. I can go nuts and get all the talents I think are really shiny save one, and with a warp stalker the logical choice is charge. *shrug*
Tsani (74) – Even odder seeing them beastial wrathed, looks like they’ve been dipped in cherry kool-aid. >->
I have it all worked out, myself.
Memphis – (Frostsaber Pride Watcher) I’ve had this kitty since I was 59 and will NEVER let him go
Knoxville – (Warp Chaser) He has proven to be a great pet when he BLINKS onto the ships in QD and other situations.
Portland – (Yellow Silithid) I can’t imagine anyone NOT wanting one. It’s ability to cripple a target is great CC for any hunter just like the crab.
Magmus – (MC Core Hound) Because this is an amazing pet to have and my PTR core hound is immortal XD I’ve had alot of fun with this guy
MurderFace – (Coilfang Ray to match my mount) I love their racial abilities to cause Shadow Damage and interrupt spell casting. Great pet for PvP since i tend to go for the Casters >:3
I really can’t wait for this patch. My guild is planning on going into Kara the same day just to see how fast we can plow through XD Well…After they help get Mamgus in MC, that is :3
I know what I’ll be getting and why:
1) Keeping my bear (Mauler), he’s been with me since I was 11 and he was 7
2 and 3 are my RP pets my Warp Stalker (GreatMilenko) and my white two headed Carrion Bird (Harvey).
4) a Bat for a cunning pet (thought about a nether ray, but bats stun for 2 out of every 10 seconds, where a nether ray only prevents casting for 2 out of every 40)
5) a Wasp for the armor redux, I think this’ll be great for soloing and might even be useful on raids, let the guys with farie fire focus on more important spells.
not gonna get a devilsaur cause I think just about every hunter and thier brother is going to have one, and I’m taking a wasp over a worm so while grouping I don’t step on the toes of warriors and other big armor debuf guys. (not to mention theys just UGLY!)
1. Ghost Saber : Ghostwarte – Had him since lvl 19. Always will be with me.
2. Grimtotem Spirit Guide : Kordusatos – Tamed him with two close friends. And no need to explain why I’m keeping him :)
3. Black Widow Hatchling : VenOmNomNom – Because a Troll with a Black Widow is just plain creepy.
4. Bogflare Needler : Hornetroid – Only to match my Captured Firefly.
5. Rotting Agam’ar : Hillshire – Because it’s an armored boar. =O
Hello all,
Thranos here.
I am a Tauren Hunter on a regular server and I currently have a purple Tiger (Zrima), a White/Blue Gorilla (Isis) and a Black Owl (Shadowdancer). I was thinking that for a BIG character I need BIG pets. So I am going to keep what I have now and add a Corehound and a Open slot for My rhino. I personally think that my character looks silly with some of the pets available but if any hunters out there have any ideas or pics of Taurens with pets they would like to share I am open to any suggestions. I am on the Zangermarsh Server.
Mania I just wanted to say thank you for giving us Pet lovers a place to chat and compare you are great.
White Chimera – Slow effect
White Gorilla -(Potential)Crit 1900 to a lvl70 mage in PTR,But its not autocasting
any colour Rhino – Flying Peeps~!
White Corehound – Just for fun..and for their slow casting effect..lol
LightPink Devilsuar – Good Dmg Output
It’s rather cute and touching that almost every person here, including mania have special pets that they simply can’t abandon. I too have that problem now as well, my first serious pet was the white bat Russan which I had for like a year. I also got the quest raptor Goreclaw which I just simply can’t abandon either because I leveled him from his 30s to 70s and he’s been a great companion as well. ><
I have LOADS of pets I truly want to try so there may be a lot of abandoning… ;~; However I’ll never get rid of Hexes, or Cortes.
Wow it’s rather hilarious that a lot of people like their white pets! I thought I was the only one! White is my favorite colour after all! XD ( I know, i’m boring) However, I don’t think i’m going to have all white pets however.. ;~; Because the ones I like aren’t white.
I have my great white bat named Hexes since level 11 and had him for like, 1 year or slightly more. ;~; I also have Cortes, my brownish black raptor that I leveled from the 30s to 70.
So i’m going to try for that lovely purple chimera! (Many people find this guy ugly, i’ll be the only one close enough to hugging it XD)
Corehound/Devilsaur -> everyone wants to try for one of these bad boys, it’s just plain curiosity! However I use to play with dinos when I was small so I’m definately going to a T-rex
Black warpstalker/Dragon Hawk/Gorilla/ and a few others to come :P
HAPPY HUNTING EVERYONE! Good luck! XD
Happy Hunting everyone! Good luck! :D Especially for those going for that spirit beast!
I’m rather amazed and find it hilarious that people here also like having white pets! I seriously thought I was the only one! My fav colour is seriously white.. (I know, I’m boring XD) I definately can’t get rid of my Hexes, the great albino back (Shikaka)and my brownish black raptor named Cortes ;~; It’ll be interesting for what new pets I’m going to want.
Happy Hunting everyone! Good luck! :D Especially for those going for that spirit beast!
Well not going exotic pet for the patch – going to wait until I get that in WOTLK, since most of the “new” pets I want are exotic but not out with the patch (cough – RHINO! cough).
I can’t give up my ghost wolf, Koriani’s a dog person big time like me – and I’ve had a wolf since level 22. Can’t give up my warp stalker – DRAGON!! I and Kori more into dragons though canine’s be the close 2nd. I have a pretty owl for the third now, but may switch her out for the chimmera with the patch!
But after that gosh – I’ve wanted the Kurken ever since I first saw him but..but no way I’m dropping my ghost wolf – and..do I want to wolf types??? gaaah!! Of course the Rhino when I get there (OMG CUTE – looks like my RL english bulldog and he’s going to be named after him too – Harley!). Now I’ve always liked dinosaurs, but there are actually dinos in Ungoro I’d RATHER have than the devilsaur (perodactyl Blizz?? Please!!)…but…it is a devilsaur…gahh
DECISIONS!!
I’m keeping it pretty simple.
First off, my Belf hunter Lunania will be keeping her her black lion, Shadowflame.
I will be taming a saber worg and naming him Runefang.
I’m saving a spot for the Spirit Beast, I plan on naming Khloe.
I MAY get the Kurken as the Core Hound. I have one named Kumo on the PTR.
I may be getting a Sporebat… I know I will want that demon hound and maybe a bird of prey.
Lots of pets. =( I want them all!
1. My Black Worg skeeter. A friend of mine ran all the way to silverpine on my NE hunter back when it was lvl 12 to get me one back when wow just came out. No way am I ever getting rid of that puppy.
2. Omen/Kurken corehound model. Ive always wanted this 2headed dog since i first saw it.
3. Devilsaur
4. Spirit beast for pvp probally since it can prowl.
5. maybe a rino.
Vish: That’s a fascinating strategy! I hadn’t even thought about that. By keeping two copies of your main (rare) pet you can be ready to tame another rare if you run across it. Sure, you sacrifice five levels, but that’s better than not taming Loque because you can’t stable your main pet and get back in time.
Snypedyou: I’m not the best person to ask about raiding (or Survival!) but I think you should definitely try our your wolf in a raid at least a couple of times after the patch and see how he does.
Well I now have a hunter with The Calling quest, so within a few days of 3.0 hitting (other distractions, like picking up achievements I have stuff stored for on my druid main and fixing my UI, come first) I’ll check that quest spawn mob.
Well atleast I have some plotting to look forward to while my main computer is down .. this one I don’t think is viable enough to run WoW. Can barely run ZT2 :<
At anyrate decided to post after musing over Ryai’s main choices, if I go BM or MM with her;
BM is going to be;
Alice: the white outland carrion bird, had her since I could tame her as my cat just wasn’t eating face enough while questing, and while I hate the fact her screech was nerfed imo, I just can’t really abandon her.
Devilsaur: Any color, before my comp finished dying and before speccing to MM, I had great fun pvping [when I ran into a smart group that actually buffed me, my pet, and healed me. ty resto druids and paladins /] and it was quite hilarious to see a warrior actually flee from BIG RED PET.
Raptor: The blue outland skin, I have been dying to tame that since the first time I saw it in WoW model viewer, I think it’s the best skin personally, with green and red close second, but they were never interesting enough for me to tame.
Windserpent: The white outlands one; Like the raptor before it, because I saw it for my zangamarsh quest and was cursing for a few minutes when I learned it wasn’t tameable, it was the first time I really thought a windserpent looked beautiful and deadly.
And lastly; it’s a tie between a Jormounger Wyrm [if I remembered the name right] or a Netherskate. I really am leaning towards the red nether skate, as it was the only pet I really found useful for pesky casters in the ptr; just not the loladins.
MM;
Alice; again I have tried to get myself ready to ditch her, but I just can’t.
Raptor: same as the first.
Windserpent; Same one.
Netherskate: again, the same.
Wolf: One of the new models, hands down. Or maybe even the demonic looking one if still tameable.
Now to go and plot for my other hunters.
Well i tend to go by the correct way to have pets in other words i dont want to have 5 dps pets or 2 tanking, i like to have it like this- 3 dps(or 2), 1 cunning(or 2), and only 1 tanking. So this is what i’ve come up with so far-
1.A cat (yes i know a its a cat and not a devilsaur, but i’ve had this cat ever since level 10 hes a red lynx from the starter blood elf place and well i tammed him on my dranei! So you know how far i had to walk plus… i havnt named him yet so im planning on sending in a picture so you guys and help me out.)
2.Devilsaur (i’ve always wanted to be a “dino” hunter so i’ve always wanted to tame a bad boy T-rex.)
3.A tanking pet (yes i havnt quite choosen my tanking pet yet im toren between my favorite pet, a black warpstalker, a worm from northerand, or a rhino.)
4.My fourth pet will be cunning either a wind serpent or a nether ray. (i choose nether rays as a secound option because the no longer have caster stats! YEAH!)
5. my fith pet was probally going to be anothere dps pet somthing like a carrion bird or a wasp. or that secound cunning pet, but im not quite sure.
But out of all thouse options thouse are jst some of the pets i’d want.
I have a 30+ Dwarf Hunter, and a 70 Troll Hunter.
My list for testing pets is:
Bear
Crab
Croc
Bat
Spider
Serpent
Hyena
Moth
Nether Ray
Raptor
Tallstrider
Wasp
It’s a pity that there are no Bats in Alliance areas. A young Alliance Hunter is plain out of luck here. Same goes for Moths for a young Horde Hunter.
I need to find the lowest level of a tameable Wasp for my lowbie Hunter.
I can get a serpent from Wailing Caverns for the lowbie Hunter, and a Hyena from the Barrens.
I do predict that Wasps will get the nerf-bat in the future.
:)
I’ve been debating with myself for weeks over which pets to get for WOTLK and now the patch is nigh I’m *still* no closer to really deciding.
I’ve got one hunter at 70 (Whimsy) and one that I hope will be 70 before WOTLK goes live (Thylacine), both BM and both Night Elves. I generally just solo or play with friends and do a fair bit of PvP so I’m not hugely tactical when it comes to choosing pets, I go for ones I really like and usually end up with one faithful pet I use for everything.
My currebt leanings (though subject to change) are:
Whimsy:
1) Red Outland raptor – Xanadu has been a faithful companion since level 66 so he’s not going anywhere.
2) Winterspring chimera – my favourite of the exotics and cunning pets
3) Red hyena from SM – I love the hyenas and quite fancy trying one out in PvP
Stable slots 4 and 5 are currently unaccounted for.
Thylacine:
1) Pink tallstrider – Fancypants was tamed by my younger hunter at level 11, it was a pain to run that far but I just love this beast and she’s not going anywhere!!!
Stable slots 2 and 3 will probably be taken up with something flappy from both the cunning and ferocity trees, most likely a dragonhawk as they’re just gorgeous and a moth.
I’ve no doubt this will all change though and I’ll be running around filling my stable slots with anything and evertyhing come patch day!!!
Maybe I’m confused but I see so many of you talking about the patch on Tuesday and getting a Devilsaur for dps… BAD BAD BAD IDEA!! I agree with the discussion on TKA that concluded that hunters with exotics on Wednesday are truly Huntards. Why? Because you’ll have to forego Thrill of the Hunt (12 points in MM for that) which means you wont have enough focus to maximize the utility of your new “super-dps” pet. My recommendation is that you stay off the 51-point talent until you hit 72 (which means at least another month) and stick with your cat or raptor for ferocity/dps.
I’m in the same boat as many hunters, I think. Thal has had great success with Sombra, her ravager, but I’m looking to broaden her range of pets now that they’re all presumably useful. I think I will either go back and grab the ghost sabre (had her from level 18 to about level 35) or one of the red lynxes from the Blood Elf lands. I may release Thal’s owl, but jeez…had that thing for so long I feel oddly attached. :(
I may simply start taming random beasts to see what meshes well for me. I’m liking the wasps aesthetically, and since Thal has always been and will always be BM, it opens a lot of exotic choices for consideration. Gah! I think I will simply have to go on a taming spree and see what I like!
Hrm..
For Vallrok (70 troll hunter, BM)
1. Will replace the misspelled Sarrow (white tiger) with Sorrow the White Lion.
2. Replacing Dawn (pink dragonhawk) with a Sunreaver Dragonhawk.
3. Black Devilasuar.
4. Violet Slithid
5. Beige Scorpid?
For Bluefur (70 Tuaren hunter, Surv)
1. Utara the white gorilla is staying! (seeing as the gorilla is his “half brother”)
2. Emperor Cobra, tamed a Razzashi Serpent but abandoned it, always regreted it.
3. Buff Cheetah!
4. Replacing Littleriver the warpstalker with Gezzarak the Hunteress.
5. Ivory Tallstrider (BlueFeather!!)
For Rassaa (62 Dwarf hunter, Surv)
1. Keeping Tinder(red lynx)!!!!
2. Keeping Sargeant(Red hyena)!!!!
3. Blacksting
4. Red crab
5. As the odd-one-out, a Rabid Grizzly.
Oh wait!!! Now I need a extra stable slot for a wolfy! Oh well, I can’t be SURE what I will get until I actualy get them! (maybe I will hate slithids, or maybe the cheetah will be so horridly small that I will dismiss it, but no wait, I ALSO want to re-tame Araga! Ugh!)
to Mania: Does it seem that the Gorilla’s family ability does more damage than most ferocity/cunning family abilities? It has a short CD, unlimited targets, high threat (possible downside) and large amounts of damage even to single targets. With hunter&pet talents it can gain +49% damage just like the cunning/ferocity pets too.
Doesn’t this strike you as odd, for a tanking pet?
Ansawa will be grabbing a silithid tank and a worm right off the bat.
Burdock I’m not sure about, since she’s only 27 and I don’t play her much. :>
Mmm… my 19 twink hunter might keep SapphironJr (Deviate Dreadfang) and Shiroyuki (Ghostsaber)… If in the live version changes, ill tame a Blue moth… I think ill go and get Takk the Leaper and maybe a Deviate viper.
Now the high level one… She will keep Rak’Shiri and Dishu… Like many ill go after the Spirit beast and Numarok, the rare chimaera from Outlands. Im still trying to decide if ill get a blue/purple wasp, a blue moth (In case lower level moths cant be tamed for 19), a crystal spider or the purple and blue neon raptor.
I might not be Kaet, but she strikes me more of worms/jummongar or silithid and I think she would look lovely with the Kurken.
… Now that I remember, i might not get the expansion lol
Veyska (102) LOL — I love that name– she does rather look like a Strudel filling. ;D
LIndalas (117) Um…. WTG labeling everyone who wants to try the new exotics this Wednesday as “Huntards”. Maybe a few of us want to try things like Core Hounds and Devilsaurs for the FUN of it, not because we feel a need to prove we are uuber DPS? I cannot speak for everyone, but I know *I* am going exotic to PLAY with the new types of pets… I know, you prolly meant it tongue in cheek, but I get tired of people labeling one another things like “Huntard” because someone choose to not do things *your* way.
I have a ghost saber, Winston.
I will prolly get:
Devilsaur named Winston
Core Hound (red) named Winston
Rhino named Winston
last spot I have no clue atm….but he will be named Winston.
Vish: Hmm … I really have no opinion on the matter. Too many other things going on right now.
Kaopattai: Why change a good thing, eh? :>
Ugg I’m in the same pool as you are…AHHH SO MANY PETS SO LITLE TIME!
Happy Hunting everyone! Good luck! :D Especially for those going for that spirit beast!
I’m rather amazed and find it hilarious that people here also like having white pets! I seriously thought I was the only one! My fav colour is seriously white.. (I know, I’m boring XD) I definately can’t get rid of my Hexes, the great albino back (Shikaka)and my brownish black raptor named Cortes ;~; It’ll be interesting for what new pets I’m going to want.
Sorry for the second post, I meant bat* >>
One thing for sure I’ll be keeping the 3 pets I still have. But not really sure what to fill in the other two spots. I’ve alwats wanted a raviger, yet also a wolf, but I’m missing a good tanking pet. so don’t know for me.
So there is no Period answer about if we will be able to tame new pets this up coming patch? I’m hearing things from both sides so I dunno what to think. I’m really hoping we can..I’m parking my hunter in Un’goro just incase! xP
*raises an eyebrow at Korrupted* Yes, we’ll be able to tame new pets — including exotics — in Patch 3.0, which at this point we believe will be hitting the live realms on Tuesday.
I have a total of 3 hunters at the moment and intend to keep the pets they already have, before patch 3.0. As far as introducing new pets into their families, here is what I have come up with so far …
Khau (lvl 70 Tauren Hunter)
1. Nemesis: black lion; previously known as Humar the Pridelord.
2. JubJub: green/gold turtle; previously known as Snapjaw.
3. Keahi: red/white wolf; previously known as Thunderlord Dire Wolf.
4. *reserved* Auros: bald eagle; currently known as Fjord Hawk Matriarch or Imperial Eagle.
5. *reserved* Goroc: white/brown rhino; currently known as Ice Steppe Rhino or Romping Rhino.
Mînx (lvl 60 Blood Elf Huntress)
1. Seraphim: white lion; previously known as Echeyakee.
2. *reserved* Embyr or Azalea: pink/purple dragonhawk; currently known as Eclipsion Dragonhawk.
3. *reserved* Orthros or Rowlf: white core hound; currently known as Kurken.
4. *undecided* – maybe Son of Hakkar: red/black windserpent.
5. *undecided* – need a Tenacious pet for balance; maybe a boar or gorilla.
Niabi (lvl 60 Draenei Huntress)
1. Nevaeh: blue/white wolf; previously known as Lupos.
2. Kiwi: teal/orange tallstrider; previously known as Strider Clutchmother.
3. Zenith: white owl; previously known as Olm the Wise.
4. *undecided* – maybe Arash-ethis: white/purple windserpent.
5. *undecided* – need a Tenacious pet for balance; maybe a warp stalker or bear.
Vish, it actually fits Blizzards latest theory for tanking. Their newest theory is less +threat, more damage to generate threat.
Lots of replies to this post! O_o
I’m keeping my Thrombus no matter what. I went through the Dark Portal for the first time with him, it’s kind of a sentimental thing. ^__^ I have him and my un-named Hyena from SM, but three more stable slots? I couldn’t handle it. I can’t even decide on a THIRD pet, let alone FIVE! Oh well. Good luck, fellow Hunters!
Lol, I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who thinks those green core hounds are teh suck. Back in the day, a core hound was a slavering, maddened, two-headed hound from hell!
Well, I don’t want a core hound. XD I want that green Trex so bad….but I’ll tame a red one for now. Other than that, a bear, and possibly a nether skate (anti-warlock) just cause I hates me some ‘locks. Plannin’ on revenge. Oh, and a ‘yena, for the same reason but with rogues. And gorilla. Oh nuts, guess that means I have to release Rak’shiri…but after the new patch, who in their right mind wants a cat anymore? Oh, but a pink flamingo…finally….and ooh ooh, an armored boar…oh noes…resisting urge to…collect them all!
PS – It’s my birthday, and Blizz gets me a Trex. How thoughtful!
Happy birthday!
I think the 12 hour patch tomorrow is the confirmation we’ve been waiting for?
:D I can’t wait for my Rhino! >8D
All i have to do is level my hunter, the first pet im gonna get when i ding that magical level to get the Beast Master talent, im getting a Silithid
always wanted one :) even if the web isnt too flashy, cunning pets are more my style
I’m almost glad to see that I’m not the only one trying to figure out what to do about the pets. There’s no way in the world I could ever get rid of Peck the pink tallstrider and Sparky the raptor has been a mainstay for me. I could talk myself into releasing my cat if need be, though I don’t really want to do so.
Of course, that causes a bit of a roadblock for my strong desire to tame at least 3 or 4 members of the new pet families. Dangit. I need a couple dozen stable slots.
Nim currently has 3 pets: his EPL boar Ribs (that I levelled from 60 to 70 with), his Nethermine ravager Kosh (my main raiding pet) and his Skettis owl Fizzgig (that I picked up for the AoE threat that got taken away from owls in Wrath…).
Alas, all 3 are likely to be released back into the wild once 3.0 comes out.
Current Wrath pet plans:
Skate (nether ray) (should be obvious)
Groove (Jormungar worm) (get one and watch it for a while to see where this name comes from)
Omni (gorilla) (think of the right word that starts with omni, then this is obvious too)
Draak (devilsaur) (a webcomic reference)
Squiggoth (rhino) (oops, wrong universe ;)
Thanks Mania!
I’ve made my choices! Hyena, worm, Trex, bear, nether skate. Yes. /fist pump
I’m prepared to lap at the tears of my enemies!
Well, needless to say I certainly felt ridiculous when I freed two of my three pets to make room for new pets in WotLK, just to find out that we will have increased stable space.
I’m certainly excited about the new pets.
As always, I will keep my tiger, for he was my first pet.
Second, I’ll go for a Fanggore Worg.
Thirdly, a Goretalon Matriarch because I have a thing for white birds.
Fourth, of course Loque’nahak. She’s one sexy kitty.
Fifth, probably a TRex. Maybe Tyrantus or King Krush.
Most likely not in that order.
As most Hunters, I’ve had my eye on the many pets to become available and had plenty of time to plan things out–especially now with the five stable slots.
Palladiamors –
I just found that out, believe it or not…I’m super psyched about it too! Recommendations for Pets 4 & 5? Again, the three to be are:
Serpent
Rhino/Warp Stalker
Core Hound
Bit late to add, but Taegis of Frostmane will be kicking it with his Ghost Wolf Gredus! Yup thats how I roll!
I know for sure I want a moth, I just haven’t decided who will get it yet. My draenei boy is too rough and tumble for such a cute fuzzy pet!
My dwarf… I haven’t really decided. She has a wolf and a raven, but that’s 3 more friends she could get.
My hunter is definitely keeping her crab! She’s had him forever!
She will also be keeping her netherray, and adding a moth. I haven’t decided which other pets (if any) to get. Exotics are out because even though I’ve tried desperately to like it, BM spec is not my thing.
I have a 70 male Orc Hunter and a 20-something male Dwarf Hunter, who I plan on leveling all the way up.
My gameplan is as follows. I am only keeping two pets with my Orc and one with my Dwarf.
Orc:
Cat (Ferocity): This will be my existing cat, Araga. Yes, that Araga.
Gorilla (Tenacity): This will be my existing Gorilla, Ucha.
Rhino (Tenacity): Great fun for PvP! Try it!
Devilsaur (Ferocity)
Chimaera (Cunning)
Dwarf:
Bear (Tenacity)
Turtle (Tenacity)
Corehound (Ferocity)
Wind Serpent (Cunning)
Moth (Ferocity)
This will give me two Tenacity pets with each character, two Ferocity, and one Cunning for each. With all the tenacity pets, I’ll have tanks for many different kinds of tanking. Gorilla for AOE, Bear for cleaving with a short cooldown, Turtle for single targets and reduced damage… RHINO FOR BOWLING. And then I will have a nice well-rounded group of Exotic pets. Oh, and the Moth? I’ve been in love with them ever since BigRedKitty’s first video of them.
Happy Hunting, my animal-loving colleagues!
Well I’m keeping the 2 cats I currently have; Ember, my wonderful Durotar tiger whose been with me since I was level 11, and my recently tamed Humar (whose gonna get a nice level boost as soon as I take him out of stable). I’ll just spec them differently. As for the other 3 spots I’m planning on taming Blacksting and naming him Roguesbane, strictly for pvp; and then a tenacity and another cunning for the last 2. Probably a bear for tenacity until I can get a Jormungar and then maybe an owl or something, I’m gonna likely use the fifth spot to kinda play around and experiment for a while.
Ah, too many options! And I’m loving it!
I’ve also been pondering what pets to keep and what pets to newly acquire. There is certainly the nagging that I do not want to ‘release’ a pet I have been using from level 10 till level 70. On the other hand, two of my three level 70 hunters tamed a netherstorm lynx at level 69 as secondary pet, but never used them much. It is a good thing there are new stable slots, so the decision doesn’t need to come immediately.
Here is my current plan:
Yococo, level 70 orc:
- trusty old Snout – once a level 10 corrupted mottled boar
- Gonzalez, tamed when he was a level 30 turtle in hilsbrad. I didn’t level him up to 67, often deliberately holding down on questing so I could keep two pets up in level, only to abandon him now, can I?
- open
- open
Yoco, level 70 tauren:
- trusty old Tweetsie – once a level 9 mulgore swoop
- Sylvester is a netherstorm lynx, only tamed at level 69. I actually haven’t used him much…
- open
- open
Yocozoot, level 70 nightelf:
This was one of my earliest characters, but stopped playing her around level 40 for two years. When I started playing her again, I found the bear Fluffy at her side, not really an attractive pet, functionally speaking, in WoW version 2, so I set Fluffy free.
- Baldrick was tamed around level 40 – a black carrion bird from the badlands. He looks the same as Yoco’s Tweetsie.
- Sylvester. Yes, same name and origin as Yoco’s Sylvester. And the same fate may hang above him – though a cat may have some extra use for nightelves (prowl+shadowmeld)
- Fluffy – as said, fluffy was set free long ago. Maybe there is some hope of finding him again (bears are certainly more attractive pets now)
- Brimstone – Brimstone was at Yocozoot’s side in the PTR. I’m not sure I’m an overly big fan of those green core hounds as far as functionality goes, but they sure are an attention grabber – never got so many whispers of “where did you get that???”. Finding a few hunters with core hounds, all going eyes of the beast and making a train of core hounds running through Shattrath certainly was fun!
Fiep – level 35 dwarf
- Grond, tamed as a level 11 boar in dun morogh.
- open
- open
- open
As you can see, there are still quite a few open spots. And there are certainly a bunch of pets out there I would like to team up with. Gorillas, rhinos, various exotics. Apart from a bear for yocozoot, I do not have too many plans yet – I’ll let me surprise myself …
