I found some new pet abilities on WoWhead, didn't see them here so I thought Ill post them

Burrow Attack (Worm Exotic Ability)
The Worm burrows into the earth, shaking the ground above dealing (?) Nature damage over 8 sec.
30 focus cost, 30sec cooldown, instant, 30 yards range

Froststorm Breath (Chimaera)
The Chimera channels a frozen breath attack, causing 2645 Spellstorm damage over 10 sec to to all enemies within the area.
20 focus cost, Channeled, 35 yards range

The Rhino punts the enemy with its mighty horn, knocking them back a great distance.
30 Focus, 1.5 min cooldown, Instant, Melee Range

Roar of Courage (Cats & Spirit Beasts)
The beast lets out a roar of courage, increasing the Strength and Agility of all party and raid members by 1395 within 100 yards.
45 sec cooldown, Instant

Trick (Birds of Prey Bonus Ability)
You command your Bird of Prey to do a trick. Larger birds may not be interested.

Why do the Worm and Chimera abilities do damage!? Those will be the best pets in a raid that already has all the buffs cowered! D:

I dont think so, there channeled abilities over 10 seconds. Sounds like big DPS loss too me.

[Redith]

what the hell is a trick?

[Raydex-of-the-dawn]

What puppies do when you tell them to sit?

I JUST TAMED ARCCY AND LOOK NOW HE'S VIABLEISH.

[The Insect Man]

Raydex - who or what is "Arccy"?

I assume chimera and worm abilities will be DPS loss against single target, but DPS gain against AoE packs, which is a good idea.

[Vephriel]

I'm assuming Arcturis. :3

[The Insect Man]

Aha. GRats then

I thought that too at first, but then again they're Cunning and Tenacity pets, so they will do lower damage than Ferocity pets in the first place. But still, that could make them ahead in damage of other pets in their respective tree.

Also, did anyone else notice that some pets had their tree changed? I see foxes and wolves with the Hunter Pet Cunning Marker icon on the wowhead list

Tested this out on my Seagull earlier - it does a loop de loop in the air

[Valashe]

Have these abilities been confirmed on the PTR yet?

Where's that? I've had a look at Wowhead cataclysm, and they're both listed in their ferocity tree here

http://cata.wowhead.com/pets=1

(EDIT) - no, I see you're right! They're on the ferocity list but they have the cunning marker (the bat icon rather than the devilsaur).

No sign of beetles or shale spiders in that list either. Presumably they've not been flagged up as pet families by Wowhead yet.

Still not what it used to be, it used to be an AOE knockback.

But, if you like knockbacks, you have an option now.. Will still be very good for BGs with cliffs.

heh

The channelled damage spells do raise eyebrows, but I agree that the dps loss while the pet is standing will probably be too great, unless they over power the abilities to the point where the pet is breaking even during the effect.

[Shinryu Masaki]

Burrow Attack seems bugged right now. There's no animations of the worm going underground, and the 30 seconds cooldown doesn't activate. It doesn't scale with levels either. At 80 my worm was doing 1, 2 or 3 points of damages to the mobs. I think the 3s where actually crits...

I know it may be a little childish, but I did lol...

As for

Burrow Attack (Worm Exotic Ability)

30 focus cost, 30sec cooldown, instant, 30 yards range

Froststorm Breath (Chimaera)
The Chimera channels a frozen breath attack, causing 2645 Spellstorm damage over 10 sec to to all enemies within the area.
20 focus cost, Channeled, 35 yards range

Is this something the Bliz is giveing to BM hunters to help in with aoe capabilties?

SV - Serpent Spread
MM - Rapid Killing + Bombardment
BM - AOE Extioc PETS?

[Undra]

That is a very interesting idea.

[Kalliope]

Good thinking, Spiritbinder. Wasn't something I'd even considered.

Oh god, are they going to give worms earthquake???? AWESOME!
