More Updates

There’s nothing on it that hasn’t already been covered in pasts posts, but it’s a handy quick reference for the important details. Namely, where to find them. I’ve included maps for each of the rare spirit beasties, all in one [...]

Mammoth Meat

January 4, 2010

…is always a good thing to farm when leveling a new pet. By the time my Lava Dog hits 80, I should have enough in the freezer to last me through ’til Cataclysm.

Rather than try to speed level my pet via heroics, I always level them solo before I use them for any [...]

Time to bring the pain

January 2, 2010

Coincidentally, just after posting my thoughts on BM PvP pets, I’ve finally decided to try out a Core Hound for arena.
I’d been contemplating the idea for awhile now, ever since I’d first heard about pets getting the hunter’s full resilience, but I just couldn’t justify using one over a Chimaera. However, after hitting our proverbial [...]

Good luck

December 8, 2009

Best of luck to those of you hoping to tame Arcturis this week. I’ll miss my PTR buddy, but who knows… maybe we’ll join forces again one day when I have a spare stable to house him.
For additional info on this awesome new Spirit Beast and where to find him, check out this post.

Pet stat scaling in 3.3?

December 8, 2009

This is interesting… Here’s an excerpt from an official blue post in response to some Hunter related questions in the WoW Damage Dealing forums. In it Ghostcrawler answers the burning question that’s been on so many Hunters’ minds. Is patch 3.3 going to be when pets start inheriting other stats such as haste, crit and [...]

Arcturis

November 25, 2009

You Hunters that are into the nifty pets… you’re going to want this guy. Trust me.

I’ll be back tonight with a proper post, along with maybe a few more pics of this bad boy.
