I am a foreign player and can’t post my idea on US forum. Could someone re-post above idea about “Dual Aspect” on US forum?

Stranger, your idea’s great. That’d help, I’ve seen minor aspect-dancing with the 39-twinks in Dawnbringer, though that can’t be helped.

“Glyph of Aspect of the Monkey: No longer works while under the effect of Aspect of the Dragonhawk”

Blizz has said they added Aspect of Dragonhawk, merging Aspect of Hawk & Monkey, for hunters to avoid so-called “aspect dancing”. Now they remove the glyph effect under aspect of the dragonhawk, hunters must aspect-dance (between dragonhawk and monkey, no one will remain aspect of the monkey all the time) again. It’s silly.

I have a suggestion, as always do. :)

1.Totally remove Aspect of the dragonhawk, return to use Aspect of the Hawk. Instead, give us hunters a new ability: “Dual Aspect”, learned at level 74 or 75 (to replace Aspect of the Dragonhawk).
Dual Aspect: you have ability to activate two aspects at once, but each category (offensive and defensive) will have only one active.

2.Separate the two effect of Aspect of the Beast, into:
Aspect of the Beast: original “unable to be track”.
Aspect of the Tiger (or whatever suitable name): increase melee AP of hunter and pet

3.Put all aspects into two categories: offensive & defensive
Offensive: Aspect of the hawk, viper, tiger (melee AP buff).
Defensive: Aspect of the monkey, beast (only ability to be untrackable), wild, cheetah, pack.

Seems Blizzard took my suggestion to add the sprite darter as a drop :D

They should add more turtles, otherwise they are going to be very camped!

Odd that Hordies only get the Sprite Darter pet from slaughtering large numbers of Sprite Darters…

A “nurturing” quest was too much work for a Vanilla WoW item??

I just wish Blizz would update the height the Sprite Darters fly at. I have it on three of my characters, and it hovers near the ground. Newer pets on my main [e.g. proto drake from Oracles' egg] flies at approx. shoulder-height on my NE Hunter.

Awesome, I’ll be able to get a sprite darter for my main now, same with the chicken. It’s nice to see a little bit of balancing between factions in regards to pets. Now if they could only put the ravasaur trainers back in…

Mania, a couple things I have noticed, in the stables when highlighting your pet it lists the type of pet (ferocity cunning or tenacity) and the dual spec changing really messes up the pets still :( have to go back to the hunter pet trainer and retrain the pet TWICE to fix his abilities (it lists the pet as still having abilities but he doesnt, and he has skill points back and you can only assign 4)

Hey cool! Sprite darters! No really, I like the add there, wonder what the turtles will look like (betting the red ones,) and…hey wait, someone should take a gander on this PTR to see if the Blighthounds or the Disembodied Jormungar or Arikara have been made unnameable or something…

(I kid…. kinda…)
