Broken Tooth lives! Hunter pets can have different attack speeds once again

25 Comments
Before you read any more, let me TLDR this first: There is no appreciable damage difference between pet attack speeds because damage is normalized. For the most part, it simply adds flavor to different pets. First, a little history. Back in Vanilla WoW, several pets had different attack speeds (you can see the original list Continue Reading ››

I talked about some of these changes in my original alpha post, but now that people have seen the changes in-game, things have become a little more clear. Let's get the bad news out of the way first: You can no longer change pet specializations. Each pet family is locked to one … Continue Reading ››

How to tame Friender the Mechano Wolf

19 Comments
I think it's safe to say that Friender the mechano wolf is the first legitimate taming challenge discovered in Legion. We have Treble and Rush, which are found via track hunting, but Friender is something completely new. Shout out to Kyfus who was the first Hunter to discover this one.

Alright, I know some of you don't give a crap about class fantasy. That's fine, but this post probably doesn't concern you. This post concerns the Hunters like me who camp rare pets for days on end and agonize over the naming of their pets. I'm not going to be talking about mechanics or numbers here, … Continue Reading ››

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:

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(s) of the Week: Wolves that bark, growl, and howl

3 Comments
That there is my Oil-stained Wolf named Void. They are no longer tameable with their oily coat intact -- I thought I would get that out of the way first (sorry about that 😛 ). Aside from looking really cool, this wolf has a neat little feature of barking/growling when he is clicked. It turns out … Continue Reading ››
