Re: Spirit Mend

Well this just makes my day. I have 3 spirit beasts in my stables (I dislike Gondria so never farmed her) and I have been itching for a better reason to use them. I might actually raid in Cata as BM then:)

Re: Analysis of new Pet Abilities

It looks like cats also get the same buff with the spirit beasts (the +Str & Agi buff) http://db.mmo-champion.com/skill/209/pet-cat/ You know....in its own way, this makes sense. Cats and spirit beasts have been linked from the get-go since the first two spirit beasts were cats and both familie...

Re: Analysis of new Pet Abilities

It looks like cats also get the same buff with the spirit beasts (the +Str & Agi buff) http://db.mmo-champion.com/skill/209/pet-cat/ Also Boars get Rest like Bears do. So what we are missing is the special ability of the Shale Spider (all pets get a special ability and a basic attack, exotics ge...

Re: Analysis of new Pet Abilities

I am now wondering: http://db.mmo-champion.com/s/24450/prowl/ 10 sec cooldown to give +20% damage buff on next ability. This is a dps buff. You can leave it on autocast or even better macro it to Kill Command so it triggers with every second KC. Available to cats, foxes and spirit beasts. Could make...

The Insect Man wrote:SHale spider and beetle absent from the list, and carrion birds not updated.

Dubious about chimeras and worms getting a damaging ability, even as exotics. Doesn't that go against the whole plan?
Exactly why I have a questionmark next to them.

Re: Analysis of new Pet Abilities

It is unlikely that Spirit Beasts will just have Spirit Mend. All exotics have been given two abilities right? The pets are anything but ready anyhow. I'd expect them to get at least one raid debuff.

Re: Analysis of new Pet Abilities

I swear some of you act as though there is only DPS, Heals, And Tanking. Those are all great, but you can't do anything without Buffs, Debuffs, CC(well, maybe in WotLK you could), etc. There has got to be, and I believe there is, MORE than just THREE play styles. It's a lot like FF13 when I think a...

Re: Analysis of new Pet Abilities

Hmm, considering the awesome Major Misdirection glyph, pet threat should be better than ever at least on single targets (Resets the cooldown of MD when it is used on your pet, which means you can use it at will). We have yet to see all the changes and I would hope for some pet talent changes as well.

Re: Analysis of new Pet Abilities

I've check WoWhead and MMO-C's database and not all pets have lost their damage dealing abilities yet, including Spirit strike. Obviously this is an oversight that will be covered at a future pass. I'd guess spirit strike becomes a + spelldamage taken debuff.

Re: Analysis of new Pet Abilities

Of course a bigger question is, will people run 25mans? Still no word about how they are going to make them special. More gear sounds nice but it will have to be much more gear (or legendaries in 25mans only I guess). Anyway I am surprised to see one buff category missing. No +10% spellpower. Blizza...

Re: Analysis of new Pet Abilities

I think there is a lot of exaggeration on how forced hunters will be to bring a specific pet. Buffs have been spread a lot and in a 25man raid there will likely be no buff missing. Perhaps in 10man raids a hunter pet might be able to fill in for a certain buff but most buffs are available across mul...
