Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

March 17, 2013 By Garwulf 2 Comments

Gar Jr. wishes you all a safe and happy St. Patty’s Day

I just wanted to post a quick update letting you all know that I’m still around. I know things have been pretty quiet around here, but I do hope to eventually return to a more normal posting schedule – at least a couple of updates per month – as opposed to the one post every few months which has been the case lately. 😉

While it is safe to assume that I don’t find WoW as engaging as I used to, I still enjoy certain aspects of the game very much. Anyone who’s followed this blog over the years can probably guess what those things are.

That’s right…PvP and taming rare Hunter Pets. 😀

Pet stat scaling won’t lag after dismount in 5.0

October 27, 2011 By Garwulf 3 Comments

You know how vulnerable your pet can be after dismounting or leaving a vehicle, while its health is trying to scale to the proper level..? I’m sure most of us are well aware of this problem. It’s one of the most annoying things about being a hunter right now.

Well, good news… looks like Blizzard is well aware of it and is planning a fix…

The bad news… we’ll have to wait for Patch 5.0.

From the Blizzard Dev Q&A this evening:

We are fixing pets so stats won’t lag several seconds after logging in or dismounting in 5.0.

Hunter pets have lost all happiness

March 11, 2011 By Garwulf 52 Comments

…as a game mechanic that is.

One recent change that’s been implemented on the Patch 4.1 PTR is this:

  • The Happiness/Pet Loyalty System has been removed. Hunters will no longer have to manage Happiness for their pets, and the previous damage bonus for pets being happy will now be baseline for all tamed pets.

As a result, pet talents that used to provide happiness have been updated as well…

  • Bloodthirsty no longer generates Happiness.
  • Carrion Feeder no longer restores Happiness.
  • Guard Dog no longer causes Growl to generate additional Happiness.

And since we no longer have to worry about pet happiness… the Glyph of Mend Pet has become totally irrelevant, and instead changed into this:

  • Glyph of Mend Pet is now Glyph of Greater Proportion, which increases the size of the pet slightly.

Honestly, what in the hell is this good for..? Other than for vanity reasons, why on earth would anyone want a bigger pet? It’s bad for both PvE and PvP… Someone help me out here, because this just seems silly to me. I don’t get it. [Read more…] about Hunter pets have lost all happiness

Hunter PvP Basics: Pets

March 9, 2011 By Garwulf 38 Comments

PvP Hunter Pets: Cataclysm Edition (Accurate as of Patch 4.3)

PvP Hunter PetsThe care and feeding of PvP Hunter Pets

Keep ’em on a short leash

All three specs, not just Beast Masters, should exercise very careful control over their pets in PvP. If you’re serious about PvP, then you’re no doubt bringing a pet with you into battle that provides some sort of PvP utility. Obviously, should your pet die, you’d lose this ability, its talented pet family abilities, along with some added DPS. That’s no good.

In addition to the fundamental practice of keeping your pet alive, you also want to keep them relatively close. Don’t send your pet off willy nilly, chasing after some fleeing player, while you sit there blasting away at attackers, oblivious to where Fido’s headed. You absolutely need to have your pet nearby in the event you need Master’s Call. This is one of our greatest escape buttons, so be sure to keep your pet within a reasonable distance so that you can access it quickly when needed. [Read more…] about Hunter PvP Basics: Pets
