Final beta video: B-roll footage of hunter pets at 60fps!

8 Comments
If you didn't know, YouTube recently introduced support for 60fps videos. You obviously need to upload the video in 60fps for this to work, and YouTube also seems very picky with the encode settings, but once it works it's pretty cool! It only works in the Google Chrome browser (or IE11 if you enable … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Druids in Travel Form

17 Comments
Blizzard finally gave into our demands and made druids tameable. The catch is you can only tame them in their travel form. So if you were hoping for a kitty or bear druid, you're out of luck (for now). A druid in travel form is part of the Stag family once tamed and brings the versatility … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Spirit of Atha

10 Comments
Hail Hydra! That seems to be the hunter mantra of the week. Everywhere I go, I see hunters sporting their newly tamed hydras. Arguably one of the coolest is Spirit of Atha, the ghost hydra. This isn't the first time I've tamed this elusive beast. I was one of those who tamed … Continue Reading ››

The 20 new pets I’m taming in Warlords of Draenor

Pet of the Week: Saddled Clefthooves

3 Comments
I delayed in posting about these pets because I honestly thought there was a possibility they'd get nerfed (made untameable). After all, I've been disappointed before when I find a pet I love in beta, only for it to be made untameable. For a while, the only saddled clefthoof which was tameable was Giantbane and I … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Teroclaws

4 Comments
Teroclaws are a new type of hunter pet found in Talador and I believe it's the first type of hunter pet that has both flying and grounded variants. They have been added to the Carrion Bird family, though many of us were hoping the grounded ones would have made it into the Raptor family. These are some … Continue Reading ››

WoD Beta 18927: Set Bonuses, Teroclaws, and the big taming pass

13 Comments
The most recent beta build is light on the class changes, but heavy on the pet changes! Ever since alpha/beta started, there have been a large number of pets that should have been tameable but were not. Most of those, but not all, have been fixed this build! Tier 17 Set Bonus Adjustments

Pet of the Week: Toucans! (aka Axebeaks)

4 Comments
Don't ask me how the physics work here or how those tiny wings can support such a front-heavy bodyweight which is apparently 90% beak, 10% feathers. Let's just hope your group or raid needs a versatility buff at some point so you have more excuses to use these adorable freaks of nature. Toucans (officially called Axebeaks, … Continue Reading ››

How to tame Gara the Spirit Beast

404 Comments
A couple of nights ago, a bunch of hunters banded together on Twitter and the Petopia forums to try to solve the Gara mystery on the beta. Those I recognized from the forums or Twitter were right beside me in game trying to figure out the same problems, coming up with … Continue Reading ››
