Re: Tank pets in WoW Classic compared
Hello Landael and Listopencil... I should have done this sooner but I'll go ahead and do it now before I forget again: Thank you for compiling the info in this thread. I appreciate the time and effort involved. I will (of course) keep digging for info and learning just by playing the game but it's ...

Re: Tank pets in WoW Classic compared
Can you confirm that Old Grizzlegut has a 1.3 Attack Speed? The list here on Petopia (https://www.wow-petopia.com/classic/attackspeed.php) has him listed as 2.0 and it will be a while before I attempt to tame him. My 2nd pet is going to be a bear and I was just going to be lazy and tame one at 60, b...

Re: Special Pets (functional)
So faster attack speed = more crits = more DPS. No, because lower attack speed = bigger base damage per attack = bigger crits = the same dps. What the faster attack speed gives you is more crits, which gives you more chances to proc Frenzy, which is increased attack speed without a damage penalty, ...

Re: Hunter Macro/Pet Ability Management
Something I was struggling with last night; I can't seem to write a good one button pet pull macro. I want a button that casts petattack on the first click and petfollow on the second click, and I'd like to be able to alternate between the two.

Re: Which pet for dungeons?
I went with a cat for almost all of my instance runs while leveling. I think it's more important to go with a pet that you feel comfortable using. Just keep Growl off of autocast and avoid using a tank-ish pet.

Re: Hunter Macro/Pet Ability Management
Easy peasy. Right click on Screech to take it off of autocast. To make a macro for a pet ability just use /cast followed by the exact name of the ability. I also like to make the macro button look like the normal ability button. To do this choose "?" As the icon and put #showtooltip as the...

Re: Ghostpaw Alpha attack speed confirmation needed
I was talking about retail and the fact that some pets have normalised speeds while other's don't, like Deth'tilac being 0.5 sec attack speed and Chimearon being 4 sec attack speed. You mentioned retail normalised speeds so I told you that no their not at least not all of them. I'm pretty sure I wa...

Re: Ghostpaw Alpha attack speed confirmation needed
I think the posts I was seeing were confusing retail and classic speeds. I'll find out for sure though in about 10 levels. :D I just got jumped by him twice while looking for a wolf to upgrade my Bite rank. Nasty bugger. He uses stealth and has a fast run speed. I wonder if his attack speed would b...

Re: Did Vanilla crabs always have the little mohawks?
Argh. I had to tame a crab to get the latest rank of Claw for my cat. The damn things are so charming, I feel guilty when I have to abandon them.

Re: Special Summon Effects Missing?
I wonder if it's something to do with the coding being based off the modern game, which no longer has those effects. I've noticed the pet AI is still the modern one which still feels slightly delayed compared to what it used to be (I think the delay started in Legion and was never really fixed back...

Re: Low Level Hunter pets.
Your pets get xp based on your xp from kills. So you need to kill mobs that give you xp. IDK for sure but I think you can put your new lowbie pet on passive (so it doesn't die) and burn down easy mobs to level your pet up.

Re: Narrowing down pet choice
I'm very fond of cats, specifically the Bengal Tiger look you can get from the Durotar Tiger in the Echo Isles that spawn as level 8 or 9 in Classic. You can get them from Stranglethorn Vale in their 20's in Retail. Durotar Tiger has a 1.3 attack speed standard in Classic. When trained it's a great ...

Re: Ghostpaw Alpha attack speed confirmation needed
I can't confirm the attack speed of that particular pet, but its attack speed in Classic should be the same as it was in the patch that Classic is built on. For instance I have a Durotar Tiger. It has a 1.3 Attack Speed for my Hunter when I play Classic. If I were to tame the same pet in Retail it ...

Re: The 2 main pet that you choose
I am currently 32 on my Dorf Hunter and currently have a Ghost Saber and one open slot. I plan on trading the Ghost Saber for Broken Tooth for the attack speed and I am torn between Uhk'loc or a Bear. Something to think about: Bears and Cats both use Bite and Claw. Having two focus dumps makes a di...

Right now at level 12-ish I'm keeping a cat and a bear because they share bite/claw.

Re: Learning Bite rank 5 and Claw rank 5
You have to tame the wild creature in question and then fight alongside it for a bit - sometimes you learn the ability instantly, other times it takes a while, it's sort of random. You'll know when you've learned it because it will show up in your text box as a yellow alert saying 'You have learned...
