All pets had their attack speeds normalized awhile back. The days of seeking out a pet for its uber attack speed (Broken Tooth), magic resistances (Snarler), or added Shadow Damage (Lupos) are just a memory…

We can talent our pets to have an attack speed as fast as Broken Tooth’s, but there no longer is an advantage for choosing one particular rare pet over another.

Hello!
I have a doubt and I wish u could help me…
I started playing wow some weeks ago and now I heard about these rare pets!
As I searched, I found out that before, in previous patchs, some of them had special abilities and now they are all the same, just with unique cosmetics.
Reading ur topic, I saw that u mentioned the Deathmaw as a higher attack speed.
I wish to know if nowadays, with these new updated patches it is still truth or now they are all the same… Like, brokentooth is the best cat (pet) or now it is like all other cats??
There inst much information about this so I wish u could help me!!!
Ty in advance!

I have used “Old Cliff Jumper” since god knows when…It took me almost 20 hours of camping him. I died a few times from alli that were constantly running by. So I started to kill the mobs around his spot and would feign death inside the corpse. This worked for the most part saved alot of deaths. I named him Yahaw..which means “Wolf” in my language “Yvhv”

“hmm, could this other rare wolf possibly be the elusive Old Cliff Jumper?”

You got it Harvok! You’re today’s lucky winner.

I think I’ve only ever seen OCJ in-game maybe 3 times at most. One of them was when I tamed him on my Dwarf Hunter. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen any other Hunter with him. His is not the coolest looking skin, but how I love the one-of-a-kinds.

Pets sure didn’t level as quickly back then as they do now.

I remember running (literally, because he had no mount) a lower level Hunter from my guild into SFK for that exact pet. That was a fun adventure because it was my first trip into a Horde instance.

Little did I know back then that I’d be coming back there at least a hundred more times looking for Shadowfang for my 19 paladin. >.<

Good to know some hunters managed to get it.. I spend hours looting back dragon scales waiting for this one. I even went to shadowfang to tame a lvl 20+ wolf with the same attack speed but after getting it to lvl 40 I gave up. So i never had the chance of getting it.. My biggest regret with the ghost wolf.
Thanks for posting about these nice little odd fellows back in vanilla or BC, these memories are great!
