Pet of the Week: Savage Warwolf

9 Comments
Just when I thought my stable was safe... It looks like we finally have a successor to the Shattered Hand Warhound from Outland. The Savage Warwolf is a level 98 wolf pet found in Nagrand (Draenor). It runs around Telaar with the orcs that use these beasts for their mounts. I've never … Continue Reading ››

Gara, the loyal Spirit Wolf: Hints at a new tame?

12 Comments
Hunter @Miacoda discovered this sad and lonely spirit wolf, Gara, apparently keeping vigil at its master's grave in Shadowmoon Valley for Elune knows how long. The interesting thing about Gara is that you can only interact with her if you are in beast mastery spec. Nothing happens yet, but … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Draenor Raptors

11 Comments
I'm looking forward to using raptor pets more often in Warlords of Draenor. Not just because of these cool new models/skins, but because raptors now bring a crit buff, Strength of the Pack, which makes them useful in more situations. The best way to describe these new raptors is just that they're classic WoW … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Hook Wasps

6 Comments
Hook wasps were originally slated to be in their own Exotic Pet family, but Blizzard later decided to just merge them with regular wasps. I can only hope the special ability they were going to have, Flutter, will make it into the rylak repertoire or some other pet family in the future. I've always … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Flying Rylaks

11 Comments
It's going to be hard to top last week's pet, but today we're taking a lot at another new pet from Warlords of Draenor. The Twinbreath Skystalker is part of the new rylak family, or at least it's supposed to be. For now it's just classified as a chimaera until they add … Continue Reading ››

How to tame Chimaeron at level 90 and 100

24 Comments
Taming Chimaeron is simple for a level 100 character, but if you want to tame him in patch 6.0 at level 90, it's a little trickier to do solo, but still perfectly doable. I'll start with level 100. It isn't quite as simple as walking in and taming. First you need to show Chimaeron who's … Continue Reading ››

The best new Hunter Glyph: Glyph of Play Dead

5 Comments
Out of the handful of new glyphs being added for hunters in Warlords, the Glyph of Play Dead is definitely my favorite. It only takes up a minor slot, so you don't have to worry about it clashing with anything important. The pet not only plays its death animation but also drops aggro. This … Continue Reading ››

New hunter pets in Shadowmoon Valley

4 Comments
Shadowmoon Valley had a wider variety of tameable pets than Frostfire Ridge did (a lot of the ones in Frostfire weren't yet flagged as tameable on the alpha). Some of the ones in Shadowmoon still can't be tamed, but that'll be fixed in time. Is your stable full? You might want to make room for some … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Echidnian Hydra

5 Comments
These lumbering beasts wander the shallows of the Nightmarsh in Shadowmoon Valley. Hydras are one of the 3 new hunter pet families being added in Warlords of Draenor, the others being Rylaks and Riverbeasts, which I'll feature shortly. Hydras bring the Keen Senses (mastery) buff. There's a little bit of a bug … Continue Reading ››
