So let's assume they add hydras

[Loffter]

Which I am dieing for just like the rest of you.

I think it's time for a new exotic. So what are the abilities and spec?

Honestly, I'm thinking Tenacity. They are big, thick skinned creatures. But we need a tenacity pet with some damage potential SO...

Regular ability-Heads in the way.. The target takes 50% less damage for 3 seconds. The pet takes 50% of all damage delt to the target during this time.
Exotic ability- Triple strike- The Hydra lashes with all three heads, attacking 3 times. Each attack deals 70% normal damage. 40 second cooldown.
Bonus- Nom Noms. The hydra finds meat on the ground and the heads fight over it.

1. We can't make sure they add anything
2. They are already ferocity
3. They are not exotic
4. There ability gives 5% crit (wolf/devilsaur)

O_o wha? How do we...know...right, Kurenio. He does kind of know...everything. Welp, I'll shut up now.

(They should have been exotic..)

[Vephriel]

Currently the pre-tamed hydras from Sholazar were given their own family and special ability. Though other hydras are not currently tamable, one could assume that if they were added in the future they would match what was added.

[Kurenio]

We know because they hydra family is already in-game for those lucky few hunters who got the ghost hydra pet.

[Loffter]

I must have missed that... I remember a while back there was the hydras that were tamable, but they were just bugged to be crocs.

*nodnod* Exactly that. They were considered a Crocolisk until a recent patch where they were given their own Hydra family, so it seems a likely candidate for them to be added at some point in the future, though nothing is concrete yet.

[cowmuflage]

I'd rather them be not exotic so every one can have one and no don't go "oh but duel spec" cos not every one enjoys BM.

[Lotusii]

While I enjoy my bm spec, it wouldn't be fair for people who tamed the ghost hydra to be unable to use it anymore because he/she doesn't play bm. They were fortunate enough to get one when they could and taking it away from them and telling them to "lol dual spec" just seems mean. So I think they look rather exotic, but in the interest of not being a jerkface, I could never get behind making them be exotic even if I could.

[Azunara]

Agreed. I don't think they should be exotic. BM has gotten lots of nifty little things. (Okay, fine. Not BM got 5 spiders. Whoop dee doo.) Let the other classes get a nifty pet as well.

They took worgen pets away from hunters who had legitimately figured out how to tame one. I understand why, but it was still a jerk move. They should have let the hunters who tamed them before it was fixed keep them. Now they just turned everyone who tamed a worgen's pet into a normal wolf. That is totally lame.

YES, I know worgen are playable races and Blizz doesn't want people to tame a playable race, but really, they SHOULD have let the few hunters who DID tame a worgen keep it. This is my opinion, of course. Others may disagree.

I dunno, the best thing in my opinion would have been to make the old hydras stay crocs with the strange skin, then just retool the hydra. I mean, I'm all for them being a dps pet, and I suppose I am ok with them being non-exotic, but just giving them the wolf ability... I dunno. I already have my big green devilsaur, now I have the pick between it and a hydra? >_< That is a very hard choice..

I had one and it really pissed me off. I had a group taking turns and It took me several tries and when I saw it turn into a normal wolf I was SO angry. They even made it de-level! I think that was a terrible thing to do, they could have done something else like make a cool replacement for it since it was a really clever find. When I found out they were making worgen a playable race I was okay with it, still angry, but I understood. However...when I saw how half assed and UGLY the worgen females were going to be it re-opened that anger all over again. So yeah, I was not a fan of that change. They took away the ghost hydra before I got one and also the grimtotem wolf before I could get it which is why I don't want them taking pets away from hunters who have them. Sure I didn't get one, and I am a little envious when I see someone with one, but considering how pissed the worgen pet change made me, I don't want it happening to anyone else.

This seems like it would be really tricky, would the ghost hydra always be a hydralisk then no matter who tamed it? Although that really seems like an odd thing, other hydras being hydras when hydra ghosts are something entirely different. But I'm not a programmer after all and I have no real idea. I think they should give hydras something more worthwhile as opposed to having a wolf/devilsaur buff and I think they're better off being ferocity.

[Evolet]

Oh, I do SO hope they stay un-exotic. I would really like one for my hunter and I don't prefer BM.

[Foru21dr]

I am BM, but I agree, don't make them exotic so that all can get the new family.

[Nightsights]

Ghidorah is my #1 pet, use him for pretty much everything. glyph md, and just md everything to him, dont really need a tenacity pet. i used to use Whitemist a lot for the agi buff, until they changed the ghost hydra from croc/tenacity to hydra/ferocity.

[Stallord]

I believe If they end up being Exotic this could be a perfect way to give BM better AoE Give a Ferocity pet with an Exotic AoE attack Like a thrash type of move or something along those lines that would be nice so we dont have to use worms for AoE We have chimera's but they don't always cut it since they are a cone aoe :/

I agree, they should've said "Sense those who have tamed the famous Transforming Worgen 'Garwal' he will become untameable but those who tamed him should keep him. However this is NOT a worgen it's a Feral Worgen therefor if it has enough mind to be tamed by a hunter then so be it." Personally saying this would clear up a lot of confusion like people asking "Why did hunters get to tame a race?" etc. I saw Garwal as a FERAL Worgen not a worgen. A Feral Worgen is a Beastly Worgen with enough sense to be tamed but not enough sense to have the smarts and resist it. A Worgen is a HUMANOID not a beast and with enough smarts to not be tamed. If blizz could read this and give us back our worgens I would be so happy but I know they're not, so I guess we will have to keep dreaming

One word.

SLAVERY!

[Huntsthehunted]

They already set everything up for Hydras, Hunters are just waiting for the release now. Hopefully they'll release them in 4.3, I am soo getting a black one from the Island near Theramore.
