“According to the patch notes, that never worked anyway.”

Yep…it worked just fine, and I kicked myself every time it reset to auto-cast and I missed it, ’cause it would automatically go right back into the heat of battle before I was ready for it, rather dumbass excuse, guessing they just didn’t like it.

“Pets can now only absorb damage from the hunter, not from other group or raid members.”

Hunters are less useful, who knew they could be even more of a plain-jane DPS class? I guess Blizzard is hitting them from both ends, at least it wasn’t removed.

I don’t know if someone has mentioned it yet (too lazy to read) xD
But has anyone tried to tame a Silithid recently? They seem pretty bugged, cause you can’t teach them Dash in the talent tree… Because they already got it when you tame them for some reason… And it doesn’t work to go to a pet trainer and unlearn them.
Also, pets that was elite before tamed seems pretty bugged when you point at them with the mouse – example: “Wolf – Someone’s Pet – Level 55 (Elite)”…
And yesterday I found a even “worse” one. I tamed a white devilsaur on my horde hunter alt, and right after I named her Angel, it said: “Angel – Seranas’s Pet – Level 55 Angel Angel (Player)”. I was like O.o lol

I don’t know if it was said someone in all these posts but they also changed the Bear’s Swipe move, it now hits all targets in front of the bear instead of just 3 targets

Mania, great job done! Really don’t know what i would do without Petopia!
By the way – didn’t know where to post it, but isn’t Terror Spinner (rare bonespider) found in ZD instead of Icecrown?

Mania you need to change Thunderstomp to Pummel on the Gorilla Family page. http://petopia.brashendeavors.net/html/families/family_gorilla.html

@ Xaldin

Yeah Thunderstomp wont be available now until later levels for you.. I guess you’ll have to get a Bear or Croc is you fancy limited AOE until Thunderstomp is available to you again.

To be honest I think it will help lower level hunters as it means you have to learn how to use a lot more skills and talents than just thunderstomp 2/3 mobs and then volley … rinse and repeat… now aggro must be watched and targetting 1 mob and burn them down then onto the next. Just my opinion anyway…

I never used a Gorilla until they became so overpowered that it was crazy not to have one for farming/aoe… and I believe I’m a better player for it… my scorpion was my pet the whole way through till then and he’s still waiting in my stable for me now..

Hey Mania… Sorry to point stuff out but Silverback has two ranks and is listed as only one on your talents page:

2 Ranks
Your pet’s Growl also heals it for 1% of its total health.

Should be:

2 Ranks
Your pet’s Growl also heals it for [1%/2%] of its total health.

Really cant wait to get home from work and get rid of my stinky-butt-scratching gorilla… FINALLY!.. yehhhh…
