Hey guys, my info on the Gorilla pets were wrong. Thunderstomp has a much longer CD, making them a decent pet, but no near as good as I stated. Because of this, I recommend a Carrion Bird as the AoE tank.
This is a perfect video. Thank you so much. I’ve watched this video 8 times in a Row and I’m still having fun lol. I got a boar and kept giving him my expensive meat. So now I’m actually leveling up in fishing pretty fast. Easy cheap way to keep him fed.
You said that the brown bear from the human realm was one with the slowest attack speed and that there are "reasons you mentioned earlier" of why should take a pet like that …
But you never mentioned anything on why I should take a slow attacking pet specifally?
I just started classic, and literally every guide says pets eat massive amounts of food, and I just disagree. Every time a reroll a char (hardcore) i use less and less food. Feed them once, kill a couple mobs, feed them again, kill a couple mobs, feed one more time and theyre full off the base tough jerky you start with. The jerky has kept them full off one feeding every 10 min or so unless they take a lot of damage. I don't buy more than 5 food for them through level 20 or so, starter jerky is enough
leveling: owl/bat/carrion bird/cat… or a boar (shit dmg but they eat everything and have ok threat) pure dmg: cat raid utility: cat (dmg), owl/bat/carrion bird (screech if tank has low survivability) or wolf (furious howl is buggy btw, so wolves aren't the be-all and end-all option for raiders) pvp: cat/wind serpent (serpent has the only ranged ability in the game, decent utility)… or a boar (shit but boar charge is ok)
niche shit #1: wind serpent (twink pet) niche shit #2: wolf (furious howl generates threat so you can transfer accidental aggros on pet without engaging in battle — makes dire maul tribute solos easy) niche shit #3: gorilla (thunderstomp to do ~150 damage to all targets aoe, but 1 min CD. this is kinda ok in speedrun lvling groups in dungeons where pulls and resting time is big) niche shit #4: turtle (hunter tanking) niche shit #5: scorpid (scorpid poison is 10 second dot that stacks up to 5, and it can be used to apply a dot to rogues when all else fails etc.)
everything else is garbage and not usable for any purpose.
I´m back to classic era on my first ever horde toon. Troll hunter about to ravage the firemaw pvp cluster <3
I´m gonna level two pets at the same time and switch them out every 2 lvls when I need to learn spells anyway. Even with quests and rested xp, a quarter of my lvl means my pet will ding 2 lvls if I grind mobs with full rested xp for 1 whole lvl.. and the pet will ding at LEAST 1 lvl with me if I have full rested bar and turn in quests AND farm mobs.. so yeah, I definetly recommend new hunter-players to visist petopia webpage and check all the various pets that are around, find the ones you think are the coolest and rarest, tame then, nomatter what level and then have them throughout your journey.. So worth, especially if you wanna feel invested into your character.
Great tips Buddy. Though I'm famil with the majority of your points, it's still good to drop back and review this before considering another additional pet. Personally, I think Pets were given the short end as time progressed, with Blizz not really caring about any unique or key aspects the individual critters had. Maybe it was part of the "dumb it down" aspect they seemed to focus on for a while to attract more casuals but personally, I think if they had provided focus on unique pet abilities as opposed to just giving us Hunters more pets (which honestly was just a vanity project with no benefit) it would have been a wonderful experience. But, Blizz wants more money and if that means making things stupid easy for stupid players, well, that's where they'll focus. Pretty much Retail in general in other words. (except for Raiding, I'll give them that).
It's also worth mentioning that Bears make excellent raid pets, as because they have a high amount of health, they can survive hits that would otherwise kill other pets. Allowing more DPS in the long run.
i wish someone could help me as im a hunter and my pet crazed dragonhawk has run away as it was unhappy and im level 59 wanting to tame a new pet do you know where i could tame a new pet at the level that im new at playing a hunter
I picked bear like Rexxar in warcraft 3 and it's amazing. We couldn't find a tank for Uldaman so I tanked it with eyes of the beast! I'm so proud of her 😀
I have always used cats except on my 29 twink which I used a boar. Was just recently playing Classic SoM and was having great fun leveling with the boar. We had several close calls but we both pulled through. Once I switched to a cat he kept getting wrecked. Mend pet just wasn’t cutting it. I’m switching back to the boar because they are more fun. Charge is great and they are way more tanks. Never have to pull back and avoid DPSing with the boar. Go Go Piggy Power! Haha.
so what i keep hearing is that pets dont learn rank 2 or higher, like charge for boars, and there for have to tame higher boar to keep or to release after they tamed to learn there higher ranking ability?
glad the robber got cought, but that collar on dog is fukin horrible to see and nobody is talking about it! damn medieval collar should put on that woman
How do you feed your pet? There is no feed pet icon when I learn tame. Only tame pet, dismiss pet and call pet are available. Is this game massively bugged? I hearthstoned back to an inn and lost my pet. My quiver once had the number of arrows left on it. Now that number is gone. The game is fun to play but the random this works now but won't work later is mind numbing and no explanations on how to turn things on or off. You have to click and click to figure things out. Tutorials don't answer the questions I have or things that appear to be problems in game I encounter. Any easy to use source of info available or do I have to spend unknown amounts of time sifting through forum comments hoping I can find someone who experienced what I am? It feels like the devs are relying on experienced players who already know the maps and quests and skills rather than providing good info for players new.
I laughed a bit at the thunderstomp portion, great guide nonethless. However you are correct on 99% of the stuff so good job. Blood frenzied bats from zg, while an absolute pain to tame, I think are the best for aoe tanking. They have a 1 second attack speed, same as Broken Tooth, as well as an aoe spam that has a very short cd. I find them ideal for clearing out sm bosses while I farm fadeleaf / grave moss.

Why is my gorillas thunderstorm a 1 minute cool down not 7 seconds?
Great vid

Did anyone ever find out if the wolf Lupos does shadow damage?

in classic wow thunderstomp gorilla ability is 2 min Cd not 8 seconds
I ONLY pvp with a spider, the web is much more valuable than a dps or charge pet
As a night elf hunter, I would always have a boar as a starting pet. Main;y, because they eat about anything. Easier to find food for it.
i tamed Echyeyakee as my pet. How do i teach him dash theres no space on his abliity bar

Ścreech doesnt have aoe dmg in som i think it says single target dmg and aoe debuff to the enemys

Thank you very much
Is this worth it if I can only play on the weekends or is turtle wow better
wait a cat can dash? Mine sure as hell cant i cannot learn it to dash only charge wich it says is for boars??
it's important to note that a lvl 60 tamed pet will never gain loyalty levels and therefore training points without killing high level mobs
glad the robber got cought, but that collar on dog is fukin horrible to see and nobody is talking about it! damn medieval collar should put on that woman
The rare black scirpid "Death Flayer" (I think) in durotar has increaed attack speed. 1.3 (again, I think.)

I found broken tooth for my hunter at lvl 38 after 10 minutes of looking. Then I ran past him randomly and sold the tame for 30g

Personally I think that if your not gonna speed level I recommend picking what pet you like games are for fun remember that
I use a bat for leveling and screech does not do AoE damage. It does AoE debuff and single target damage
I need a wotlk one of these ^^’
They should allow the pet the ability to loot, skin, pluck a herb, and mine.
That will be fun.
