How Blizzard could bring back Hunter pet loyalty

52 Comments
Hunter pets back in vanilla were convoluted by today's standards. You couldnt' simply tame a pet and use it. You had to worry about several things:
  1. Pets did not level up to your level. If you were level 60 and tamed a level 10 pet, you would have to manually level them up. Very slowly, since … Continue Reading ››

What new pets do you want to see?

76 Comments
I've written posts in the same vein as this before (like this Scattered Shots) and I try my best not to sound like a spoiled, entitled hunter. The reality is, we have a crapton of pets to choose from. There's not much reason to beg for more, but hey, Muffinus asked! The same designer responsible … Continue Reading ››

24 Comments
The highlight of this beta patch was a serious amount of new tameable hunter pets. We have two new pet families and a bunch of new pet skins to discover. Let's get the non-pet stuff out of the way first because there's not much of it in this build:

I recently spent some time outside Draenor to get my hands on a few exotic pets to test their new abilities. Today we'll be looking at the new Quilen, Rhino, Devilsaur, and Core Hound abilities.

Pet of the Week: Arcturis

8 Comments
Most people think that Loque'nahak is the most difficult spirit beast to tame, but I'd argue that honor goes to Arcturis. At least Loque has multiple spawn points, so you could always get lucky and find him at one of the spawns where no one is currently camping. Arcturis, on the other hand, … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Chromaggus

6 Comments
There's a lot of hunter art out there, but the above "Taming Chromaggus" piece is, without a doubt, my favorite. Taming raid bosses is a rite of passage for any hunter. It's all the more special if it's a boss you've faced in the past when it was relevant content. Next on the list of … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Hexapos

Hexapos is the only water strider to use the "white fen strider" skin and in found in the Dread Wastes. Chances are you've flown over this guy without even knowing because he's one of the handful of Mists of Pandaria pets which are invisible until revealed by a hunter's Flare. The … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Ban’thalos

12 Comments
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 ››

More fun hunter stuff from the Warlords of Draenor alpha has been datamined! First up, it looks like all buffs will be able to be provided by non-Exotic pets, including bloodlust/heroism.  It appears that some exotic pets will be getting new special abilities instead of having access to exclusive buffs. We currently know about 5 new … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: King Krush

9 Comments
Day 1: I just dinged level 80 and I heard about this new rare Devilsaur pet called King Krush. He's the only green devilsaur. I must tame this beast! Day 6: A fellow hunter who encountered this rare beast told me his initial attempts to tame the beast were unsuccessful because it would fear … Continue Reading ››
