Feedback Wanted: Petopia Pet Ability Page
Feedback Wanted: Petopia Pet Ability Page
I'd like your feedback on the layout of the new ability page. Basically I list each family and its 1-4 skills: special ability, exotic ability, bonus ability and basic attack. And you can click on any skill to get all the details.
Is it easy enough to figure out? Is there other info you need or want on this page? Would a different organization be more helpful? Any other feedback?

Re: Feedback Wanted: Petopia Pet Ability Page
I don't have any qualms with it. I suppose maybe one suggestion I could think of might be to add a visual representation of the Pet Species under their names? I know they're organized alphabetically and by talent tree, but being a visual person I have a much easier time quickly scanning and recognizing either a picture of a pet or their species icon. Again, that's just a minor thing I could think to suggest, definitely not required. (a thumbnail of an actual pet model would probably work best since some of the ability icons match the species ones and may look too repetitive)

Re: Feedback Wanted: Petopia Pet Ability Page
In Using the Stable, regarding the stables being unlocked "as soon as you enter the game," it might also be a good idea to mention that hunters can't actually tame pets until level 10 and until then, they only have one pet, period.
Beyond those additions, I think you've covered everything. My questions would certainly be answered.

Re: Feedback Wanted: Petopia Pet Ability Page
The other night I joined a small pug raid and was immediately asked by the raid leader if I had a core hound. He was trying to down some boss in record time and wanted the 'heroism' buff from a core hound. I didn't at the time, but I tamed The Beast right after. My stable had nearly 20 tamed animals, but the whole experience made me wonder what other unique pet buffs I had been missing in my stable. Until then I had tamed animals purely based on looks.
I soon figured that it might be better overall to tame 1 animal for each unique skill, instead of having (for example) 3 cool looking wolfs, 4 cats, etc. This way, I would never again be in a situation where I was missing that one desirable pet skill. There are 37 different pet families, but only 25 available stable slots (at level 85), so it's impossible to tame 1 of each family. After examining each family and unique skill I figured out that there are exactly 17 unique skills and 7 different kinds of exotic families. I concluded that it would be possible to tame 24 pets total and have access to every unique skill, regardless of spec, with one stable slot empty at level 85!
The gist of my post is this: it might be beneficial to list pets according to unique skill, instead of cunning/ferocity/tenacity...or have an option to sort both ways.
Here is a screenshot of the list I compiled:

red = ferocity, green = cunning, blue = tenacity, "--" = infinite uptime
I considered web = pin, for this exorcise. "•" on the left, was the family I chose to tame.
