Is a spirit beast really worth it? - Hunter Pet Discussion - Hunter Forums

I'm just curious as to if a spirit beast is really worth the time and effort to hunt down and tame. Is it just for bragging rights or are they really that useful? Let me know your opinions on this

thats pretty much what i figured that having a spirit beast was more of a status symbol lol. i really want loque' for nothing mor than the fact that she looks awesome lol its hard for me to seperate myself from lifelong companion that i tamed at lvl 20 which is a ghost cat named DethBringer he's always with me unless im in a tough spot that needs some extra muscle then ill bring out my bear lol and sometimes ill use my wolf but i love my cats lol

Rofl nicely put Tepoztlan

When Arcturis was first whispered about in Grizzly hills my husband, whos hunter was 74 at the time (mine was still in the 60's), said I HAVE to have one! He spent days and days camping that damn spot, and when he was at work he had WoW up on my PC in the living room with an addon that would scream holy hell at me if he spawned! Spent weeks like that, and guess what, he NEVER got it! someone else who always get the drop on him because he spawned so early in the morning on our server. He was pissssed, and eventually gave up.

So I get my hunter to 74 some time later. I'm running around NR doing random quests when it dawns on me I am 74! So I hop the FP over to the lodge just for the hell of it, hop on my mount, go around the corner and there he was… just sitting pretty, waiting for me!

My husband never fully forgave me for that, and I ended up never using the damn thing. He is pretty to look at for sure, and bragging rights are nice… but even when just hunting he is about uselss! I still use my flaming wolf cuz he is awesome sauce!

Spirit beasts dont add the hghest DPS because they dont have to  – they are the Gods of Pets and have no need to be concerned with petty things such as damage output. They exude "WOW" in some cases it is literally dripping from their mouths.

Hehe…yes indeed. Spirit Beasts are like the classic car you keep in your garage and take out for a Sunday drive – and in this case…a drive around Dalaran. I have all of the SB's except for Skoll – and only because of a lack of stable slots. Loque took me over a month to tame and I love him – but it's like bringing an old tiger with no teeth to a fight

Hope they correct this injustice with Cata – please please please

Grrrrr pretty irritated, i finally came across loque in the NW corner of sholazr near the savage thicket and was in the process of taming her(more than halfway done) when a orc warrior came along and killed her with a couple of hits and then stood there and laughed about it. Is there no such thing as honor anymore?

Of course – they'll always be asshats to come along and try to ruin your game play. But – be happy that a game like Darkfall exists – otherwise it WOULD be a lot worse if those players were let loose on Wow. /shudder
 

I played Darkfall for about 3 months and endured the worst kind of PVP possible. The game is actually really fun except for the full loot feature and the horde (forgive the pun) of complate jackasses from both factions. The final straw for me was when a member of my own faction put a debuff on me while I was in mid-fight (debuffs are not considered attacks btw) …waited for me to die and then stole everything…armor…underwear…you name it and laughed hysterically about it.

The kind of person that plays Darkfall that REALLY gets off on just ruining other players game play is just sick in my book. Add to the fact that it would probably take about 6 months of hardcore playing/skilling up to just barely compete in PVP makes it more unbearable.

Anyway – hope you find Loque again and maybe try to get him around 2am during the week like I did – not many peeps around then

Lol i cant even keep Deth stabled more than 10min before im calling him back out again, he's just been with me for what seems like forever lol he's saved me more times than i can count. I know its all just pixels but i feel like i have a bond with him rofl (i know sounds totally crazy)
