Calling hunters:fav pets : World of Warcraft General Discussions

[mariah carey]

I started a NE hunter and i had to go far but i got a raptor(which is my fav)Iwas wondering what ur favs are

[nikeplektrum]

Turtles =) those on the Tanaris coast

[synthblade]

I like the cat types...
Baing the first actual pet your released from taiming training with... I've had my cat since lvl 10....
I've tried out a few others since then, but I don't really like them....

[mariah carey]

Should u change ur pet to get more attacks, like u should change ur pet at lvl 20?

I have a 40 hunter alt, kept The Rake all the way through, best pet ever in my opinion.

[zwwright]

Well For Horde in molgore i like the flimingo. just for looks.

In general terms, the pet you choose is going to be determined by whatever you want your pet to do (tank vs. deal damage).

Great site with great info.


As for a specific pet, I'm a huge fan of The Rake. Amazing pet. If you are not on a PvP server, you could make a trip into mulgore to get or. Or just switch to horde (a wise choice in my opinion lol).

Turtles make good tanks for AC, as do scorpions.
Gorillas aren't bad tanks because of their new AoE taunt ability
Raptors, boars, and crabs are pretty good tank/dps combos
Bird's have nice DPS, but low armor
Cats have high Attack speed and DPS but only medium armor

In PvP, a flamingo is a great pursuit pet in lvl 19 BG. Instead of camping a rare fast pet, why not get a very common flamingo and use that? Cat's get prowl now, and that makes them nice pets in PvP, but only at higher lvls (30 or 40 plus? Can't remember)


If you want to stand out, find a lower level pet with medium stats (these usually aren't high value targets to most hunters) If you want to solo a lot with your pet, I'de put a few talents (7) into beast mastery. 20% Extra health, 30% extra armor looks pretty nice when your soloing an elite. The best flat out tank for survival, is deffinately the turtle. You've got the hide in shell fall-back ability, incase things go sour.


I think Tekk the Leaper looks nice on a person wearing full blackened defias armor. Black raptor, black armor, what could be better? (This is for looks, not fighting lol)


It's all up to you. Just don't get a crocilisk, people get annoyed and flame on you when your in a city, because it makes constant noise.

[mariah carey]

How does it make noise

[ghostrogue]

Crocolisk not moving =

~Growl~ 5 seconds later ~Hissssss~ 5 seconds later ~growl~ etc etc. It's noise repeation is WAY too rapid. Some hissing or growling would be cool, but they need to nerf that first. We have a hunter group on Laughing skull, with about 15 people with crocolisks. They'll go into IF AH and just sit there with the pets hissing. It's not cool to make others turn their sound off imo.

[rabidsoccerball]

I listen to iTunes during WoW so I wouldn't mind.

[mariah carey]

i've never experienced that

[rabidsoccerball]

It's a lot better then the WoW music.

[ghostrogue]

find a huntetr with one, and get near him/her while its afk or not moving for a bit. You'll understand then. Lol.

[mariah carey]

good plan
