@ Goldenleaf

Pets are inheriting 40% resilience at the moment, so with me at 929, my pet’s getting 372 resilience and it makes a noticeable difference. In 190 arena matches this season he’s only been killed once. Part of that is due to my uber pet management skills of course. Anyway, imagine how sturdy he’ll be with 100% resil inheritance. I can’t wait.

He’s a cunning pet btw, same as a spider. Just stack that resilience and you shouldn’t have too much trouble keeping him up.

Well, finally… I’m gonna enjoy my (black and cool) spider when I return to WoW, waited too long for that.
It was usually dying pretty fast, so I didn’t use it as much as I wanted till my last days online, some months ago ;/
Argh, I just remembered my new hunter hasn’t good enough gear with resilience (yet) to truly help with that, but who cares, there’re more reasons I’d like to use.

@ Uchihoma – thx for making me even happier (cause I’m gonna help some peeps get over their arachnophobia by facing it… even if my spider’s not real :S); I like helping others so much ;D
Hope they’re gonna be loads of them (ok, ok, I admit it, I’m gonna enjoy some funny reactions too if I’m lucky enough ).
Thanks again for the good news guys

Spiders have the advantage of a lot of people don’t like spiders, I used to get asked all the time during my Naraxis weilding days to change pets just because people hate the spindly spider model. In PvP this is an added benefit, people freak, want to focus down the pet as they hate it, and you just sit back and pew pew them.

As long as you don’t mind spiders, it’s quite a bonus to have one in the stables. The Silithid might have the DoT, but it doesn’t freak people out as much as a Spider.

@ Vizzka

With pets getting 100% of the Hunter’s resilience come 3.3, cunning pets will be gaining a lot of survivability. Sure BotR is nice, but it won’t be as important in 3.3.

A spider can sit by your side the whole fight w/ Web on a keybind, snaring a target at range and not even getting hit. Then you just send it in for added finishing power once your target’s below 20%.

Spiders have Roar of Sacrifice too.

Intervene is about the only reason to get a Crab.

Crab is not the best PvP pet. One of the best, but not the best.

Yeah. Spiders are good. But –
- Crab take 40% more healing – You need your pet whole fight and if they kill it yoy have a problem

- Crab got the abiliy called Roar of Sacrifice – If you get rushed by a shaman or warlock they often crit, but you will survive because Roar of Sacrifice wont let you get crits.

- 1 of my favorite spell is Intervene,but i love all the crab spells, That will prevent the next attack/ranged abiliy/meele ability/ lik, stun, sap, and all spells like that. But the spell we be transfered to the pet but wtf.. you proberly got a healer :p

What i want with this = Spiders are you good, yes.. But a crab is better and there is nothing to discuss- You told everything that is good about a Spider – But nothing about the crap-
= fail, im sry.
Crab is the best pvp pet – I dont care if Pin sucks if you look at Web, but 2 sec on rogue is good enough – and 4 sec on every other class is nice –
And your pet is always melee on your target.. You dont need range.

@ Fawatam

Spec BM and grab a Silithid and Spirit Beast. It’s not for everyone, but I think BM’s actually really fun in BGs. It lacks the burst, but with higher end gear it becomes pretty formidable. With all S6 and S7 pcs and 950ish resilience, I don’t have much trouble bursting people down and I’m pretty hard to kill.

@ Nochezador

I’d be happy if they added an Exotic Pet Stable, mainly for the collection of Spirit Beasts. If we had our current stable of 5 that could house any type of pet, then another 3-5 specifically for Exotics, I think that would suffice. Hell, I’d even buy them like bank slots.

@ Bozanimal

Agreed. With the new 30 yd range on Venom Web Spray, Silithids are going to be fantastic in 3.3.

I hate the looks on spiders, but for BG’s it’s the only way I’ll go. Now if they ever grant me my wish and let all hunters not just BM tame spirit beasts…Well then I’m gonna drop it quicker than you can say “I hate rogues.”

Also more stable slots please!

Stables are full. I hate spiders. Always have and always will. I think the best looking ones are in Blades Edge though.

I don’t see replacing my ghost saber, shattered hand warhound, bear, core hound, or spirit beast with a spider.

Blizzard I need another stable slot please. Actually a total of 10 slots. 5 for MM and 5 for BM. Thank you. Let me know how soon(tm) you can patch that in. LOL
