Pet of the Week: Gurubashi Riding Raptor

1 Comment
Raptors are one of the many pets getting ability and buff changes in Warlords of Draenor. Currently, the Raptor special ability is Tear Armor (Weakened Armor debuff), but in Warlords this will be changed to Strength of the Pack (5% crit buff) because that particular debuff is being removed (across … Continue Reading ››

Ban'thalos is one of the many challenge tames added back in patch 4.2. This level 85 spirit beast can be found in Hyjal, circling high above the Sanctuary of Malorne (around 28,62). The challenge to this tame is the sheer height Ban'thalos spawns at. You need to be able to get aggro and … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Aotona

Leave a comment
This week's pet is one of my favorite birds, Aotona. You can find this Bird of Prey in Sholazar Basin, so if you're looking for King Krush or Loque'nahak, it's definitely worth flying by Aotona's spawn points as well. Aotona is still the only bird to use the "blue parrot" skin. Like many … Continue Reading ››

In a time with so little WoW news being released, little tidbits like this really get me excited. WoW Designer @Muffinus tweeted a pic of a Hydra standing beside a hunter, and confirmed it is indeed a tamed pet. Earlier this month, he asked hunters what they'd like to see … Continue Reading ››

Revamping the hunter stable in garrisons

7 Comments
Pets are, without a doubt, the primary reason I play a hunter. I think Blizzard has been pretty good to us over the years, putting a lot of development time and effort into something that serves only a single class. We have 45 pet families and, if you count all the different skins and color … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Gezzarak / Zormus

1 Comment
Warp Stalkers used to have a spell called Warp which is very similar to what Blink Strikes is today, only they had it many years earlier. You won't see many hunters using these pets since they don't provide a buff, but they do have their Time Warp ability. I'll admit to … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Duskfang

Duskfang is the only tamable cat to use the "Black Saber Cat" skin and can be found in Swamp of Sorrows. Since it's is a quest mob, it will always be up and available for taming. It's one of my more favorite cats and is usually what I run with if I need … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Bloodtooth

3 Comments
This week's pet is one of my favorite turtles, Bloodtooth (level 87). He is the only currently tamable turtle to use the "Black Spiked Dragon Turtle" model. He is a rare spawn in Krasarang Wilds, but it's almost a guarantee that he will be up when you go looking for him. Why? Because … Continue Reading ››
