Best petFollow

I'm the best pet.

Aethien gave me crabs.

Just one.

It was a big one, though.

Well aware of that quest; done it twice now.

That's what she said.

Wait, what?

To be honest, I'm not sure I like what they've done with pets. I love that they provide buffs and stuff, but I hate that I have to pick certain pets for certain buffs. For instance, the cat and wolf buffs are priceless if there's no Warrior/Feral/Death Knight in the group, but at the same time, I really prefer to run with a fox.

And it's not like foxes are useless. If you're running 5-mans, they're actually pretty epic, especially if the tank isn't a Death Knight or Warrior. I also realize that it's not as much of an issue in raids, since you're almost guaranteed to cover the buffs with the classes in your group, but I don't raid and it makes me sadface when I have to dismiss Snuggles so I can get 5% crit.

I'm gonna make a Worgen Hunter. It's going to hurt to use anything other than my Mastiff (or MAYBE a Gilnean fox).

Then again, it's also going to hurt to take off my top hat and wear a proper helm...

I'd just like to add that I'm glad Blizzard put 85 spiders and crabs in Tol Barad Peninsula. Makes it easier to level just one pet knowing I can grab both of those and have all the pets I'll need at 85 (PvE: cat, PvP: spider/crab, PvE elite tanking: crab).

This has next to nothing to do with this thread, so carry on.

I wouldn't bother with a monkey anymore since they fixed Bad Manner to break on damage. It's a lot less desirable now.

I also have a couple scarabs, but I haven't found the need to use them, especially soloing as BM.

they nerfed monkeys :/

I like ravagers if there are a lot of casters in a bg, otherwise I use my dog.

If I have to tank, I use my scarab.
If I have to wtf tank due to a tank dying or I have to kite Magmaw type adds, I use gorilla.

For dps and added buff I use cat.

Raptor doesn't give a group buff but the ravasaur/devilsaur does.

I find that even in 10 man, we pretty much have all buffs/debuffs covered. Well, except for that increased spell damage which I started bringing a wind serpent if we are caster heavy.

Slow reply but meh, I didn't know they nerfed monkeys, I'm not that into PvP anyway and with school taking up all my time I haven't played WoW in a while anyway.

Also, for serious tanking nothing beats a scarab/turtle because of the 50% less damage taken cooldown to mitigate bursts of damage. (Oh yeah and spirit beasts are ugly )
