Filling In Missing Pet Abilities
Posted: Tue May 09, 2017 5:05 pm
I posted this on the official forums https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20754715295#1 I'm hoping for some feed back or suggestions.
This is a list of suggestions for Pets missing their Special Abilities (or ones who never had any):
Bats: Sonic Blast, same as Mortal Wounds effect, if Carrion Birds can do it so can Bats.
Bears: Thick Fur, same as Shell Shield, hoping for a more Druid Bear like spell effect though.
Birds of Prey: Swoop, same as Mortal Wounds effect, it's a hunting bird.
Boars: Gore, same as Mortal Wounds effect, I shouldn't have to explain this one.
Cats: Rake, same as Mortal Wounds effect, same as above.
Dogs: Baying Howl, same as Dust of Life, the Dog is sad your party member died (standing in fire) and their sad howling will bring them back to life.
Dragonhawks: Updraft, they never touch the ground, it just seems right.
Goats: Hard Headed, same as Shell Shield, it's a Goat they are known for this.
Gorillas: Primal Chest-Pound, same as Shell Shield, the Gorilla psyches themselves up for a battle.
Hydras: Too Many Heads, same as Primal Agility, with that many heads moving around it will be hard to even one.
Hyenas: Tendon Rip, same as it does now.
Mechanicals: Jumper Cables, same as Dust of Life, with a zappy animation.
Oxen: Ramming Speed, same as Nether Winds, it's just funny.
Porcupines: Quills, same as Mortal Wounds effect, I shouldn't have to explain this one.
Raptors: Savage Rend, same as Mortal Wounds effect, same as above.
Ravagers: Ravage, same as Mortal Wounds effect, same as above.
Scalehides: Scale Plates, same as Shell Shield, same as above.
Serpents: Be A Sneaky Snake, same as Primal Agility, I also thought this was funny.
Silithids: Venom Web Spray, same as Web Spray, why was this even changed?
Spiders: Web, same as Web Spray, again why was this even changed?
Spirit Beasts: Spirit Strike, same as Mortal Wounds effect, old animation please.
Sporebats: Best Pet!, everything, jk I'm not sure on this one I guess Spore Cloud as a slow maybe.
Stags: Either the same as Goats or the same as Oxen.
Tallstriders: Peck, same as Mortal Wounds effect, OR Dust Cloud with a slow effect.
Warp Stalkers: Warp Time, same as Time Warp...........
Wasps: Sting, same as Mortal Wounds effect, I shouldn't have to explain this one.
Waterstriders: Lithe Legs, same as Primal Agility.
Wind Serpents: Updraft, they also never touch the ground.
Wolves: Furious Howl, same as Nether Winds.
Worms: Acid Spit, same as Mortal Wounds effect.
Quite a few of these have names from abilities they used to have, as an old Hunter I would like to see them returned is one form or another. Others were rearranged because they made no sense.
I tried to make the abilities fit their old ones as best I could but with the limited amount of Pet Abilities we have now that wasn't too easy. I hope more people will add their suggestions and that one day soon all Pets will have abilities.
