each patch, a new spirit beast & some changes to other families … so whats the point of keeping stable slots on 5 ? its really low … just assume someone with to tame all spirit beasts so just 1 slot will remain unfilled for a pve or pvp pet …

I want Arcturis to be my pet when he shows his face… well, all of us Beast Masters, that is.

Well don’t ask GC, any time a hunter even mentions anything might not be 100% perfect he has a tantrum.

@Qonaan

Even if we could pick the tree for out pets, we’d still need more slots. I have all 3 spirit beasts, my first pet I ever tamed and a wolf. I had to ditch my MC core hound for one of the spirit beasts and I still want Krush.

How hard can it be to give us three more slots? Every hunter I talk to in game says the same thing. How can we make sure Blizz knows we want/need this?

@Gar

Definitely. Perhaps three different types of Spirit Beast – we have three different skins presented in-game thus far, and they’re all in Ferocity families. Perhaps there will be Spirit Beasts that are Tenacity or Cunning pets.

That’d be nifty.

Wasn’t there some rumor that hunters would be able to select what pet talent tree their pet uses in some near-but-not-far patch?

Cunning Worms? Tenacity Cats? Ferocity Turtles?

@ Qonaan

Spirit Beasts either need a buff, or at the very least, Blizz needs to add more stable slots for Hunters. For many, myself included, Spirit Beasts are fun to stalk and then tame. Problem is, they’re inferior dps-wise and we only have room for so many pets. If they plan on implementing more of these special creatures then they should at least add additional “vanity pet stable slots”.

Personally, I’d like to see some variance between Spirit Beast abilities. If they keep adding new skins with the same generalized skills, then the novelty will most certainly wear off.

I was really pleased with the design of Skoll, and this new bear model looks really lovely, too.

I’ve never been too taken with the cats, bears, or wolves during my years of huntering, though, so I dedicated myself to getting ole King Krush, who I’ve been using to much success in my raiding for several months, now.

If they had a reptile spirit beast of some sort, I’d probably clear out a stable slot for ‘em, even if he wasn’t as cool for raiding.

I like the “format” of the Spirit Beast abilities – they’re generalized and can be applied to any number of pet models, but I agree – they could use a bit of a buff to make them more than a trophy catch when compared to the DPS of the Devilsaur and Wolf.

I, too, wish for the following:
1. That this bear is, indeed, a new spirit beast.
2. That Blizz decides to re-do the talents for the spirit beasts so that they become unique and competative with regular beasts. I REALLY wanna tank with this guy when I solo!
3. MORE STABLE SLOTS!!!!!

I shall tame this beast and name him Fred Bear! I mean really…is there a more appropriate name?!?!?!
