Suggestions for our Lurker.. ;)

[Saturo]

I'd like to see a pet family other than Ravagers that brings the physical damage debuff. I really don't like ravagers...I'll run with one if the group needs it, but I'll be happier when I don't have to. And although I like the hyenas, might as well stump for an additional family that brings the bleed debuff while I'm at it.

Worms bring the same debuff as ravagers, though they require deep BM.

Boars and rhinos have the same debuff as hyenas, though rhinos are exotic.

Don't raptors also bring the Ravager buff? Or is that wolves?

[Magnakilro]

@ Sat: Raptors have Sunder Armor, qwhich is shared with Serpents XD.

[Magli]

Maybe I should have said more non-Tenacity pets that can bring the desired debuff. :S

[Gentlemanne]

As my fellow compatriots have said; Hydras are the flavour everyone is craving. I would also like to add my two pence, and go out on a limb and ask for perhaps some more undead pets. They are rather uncouth but have an unusual visual appeal to them.

[Kalliope]

@Sat: And wolves have the crit buff. ^_^

[Aquillian]

Hi Lurker. First of all. I love you. ;-;

A few little suggestions. And honestly I feel bad saying anything because homg, I am so darn excited about Cata's pet changes/added skins/models that I'm on the verge of exploding. But, just, you know... because? ^_^;;

-Please request devs to fix the Northrend condor's animations? They are gorgeous but never leaving the hover animation kills them ;.;
-Maybe a white raptor skin? Old world or BC model, they are both awesome
-Let warpies warp to their targets again? I have to admit (feebly and selfishly) that my warpy just breaks my heart now. My night elf's favorite companion was her warpstalker -- seeing it flash into battle or after fleeing foes always gave me a surge of pride. With it gone, my warpstalker just feels... listless now :< Maybe it could be their 'bonus', like how birds of prey have trick? It could work work charge/dash...? I dunno, eepsies... totally cool if not though, there are soooo many new pets to play with and get attached to!
-And finally, just because I've been OMGWISHing for it since I first started playing and saw my friend riding hers around Nagrand... tameable Talbuks/other ungulates? The blue talbuk model is one of my favorites in the game, I'd kick myself if I left here without at least asking ^^;

That's it...! Ty again Lurker/Wain, you both warm my hunter-y heart n-n

EDIT: Ahhh one more! I'm terrible...! Could you maybe, maybe make the undead hawks in Northrend tameable? Like http://www.wowhead.com/npc=31263 those dudes! It would be soo insanely cool, especially with undead hunters...! Maybe not the most plausible but if we have plagued/undead bears and plagued/undead wolves... !?

[Saturo]

Oh. Well, me apologizes then. Haven't been playing hunters much lately.

[Hesantia]

^This! It would totally rock to have a white raptor with the Outlands model! Especially since I love black and white pets

[Congafury]

I would love to see Araga's tail stripes back
not a new model, but the tail stripes...

[Imriel]

First post and all that after being a lurker myself for a long time.
To the proper lurker, thank you ever so much for all your efforts. Hugely appreciated. I've gone from thinking "damn I'm never going to fill up all my stable slots" to "uh oh, not enough room". So thank you for that issue, a nice issue to have You've made me really look forward to Cata.

I've not got a suggestion re pets etc as my cup runneth over with choice, but one suggestion I'd love to see taken forward (if you can /w in the right ear) is for Mania to be recognised in game. Make Mania a stable master somewhere in thanks for all her hard work she does to support the hunter community

Thanks again, can't wait for cata

[Cozzene]

Any chance we can see the return of the blue ghost wolf... NOT in the form of a spirit beast? I don't need more spirit beasts, but that skin is highly sought after by many hunters. Don't get me wrong, I deeply appreciate that it's back at all, but perhaps non-rare, non-BM-only versions can be tossed back in?

That would be really cool actually

[Mania]

No thanks! I'm fat enough as it is - I don't need people keeping thousands of pets in me.

[Kalliope]

Mania is already a brainbug! How much more of a tribute does she need than being our Hive Queen? <3

(That's a rhetorical question. There should be a petting zoo someplace with Mania as zoo keeper. A pink flamingo, ghost saber, and half a dozen crabs would be among the represented animals.)

((I'm completely kidding, by the way; I really love Ainamiss being a hidden reference. <3))

Mind. Blown.

[Umbriel of Halaa]

Tamable basilisks, hydras, pterrordax, and diemetradons.

More cats with the "riding tiger" model.

More wolf and chimaera skins.

While I'm liking the fact that there are now more than two (well, three, at the peak) warp stalker skins? The more, the merrier.

More dogs and foxes wouldn't be amiss, either.

[Keleri]

I'd like to see a tameable undead windserpent. Possible (currently undead) serpents to make tameable:

[zedxrgal]

The undead raptors are one of things that are cool and would be neat but doubt Blizz would make them a tamable mob especially since that would mean the bone raptors would have to be tamable.

Confused the heck out of me when I went to Wowhead to take a look, and the picture was of the windstorms. Looks as if they've just replaced the old model (Living Storm) with the new one.

[Kyonarai]

Honestly, I love all the new changes to pieces, but there are a few more things I'd like to ask for, but they're pretty easy. First off, I wish that there were wild, tameable versions of the storm and mist sabers, without armor of course. I just find it strange that there are so many of them used as mounts, but there arn't any in the wild. The same could be said of the dawn saber. Being that they are said to be only the strongest cats, I am perfectly fine with them being old world rares if that's the easiest way to put them in. I vote for them being rares in winterspring or Teldrassil, since those are the homelands of the saber cats.

Now then, on to winterspring. Specifically, frostsaber rock. I have a very strong attachment to that place in game, as I was always fascinated by the idea of haveing a war-cat as a companion. I remember my baby days on my first hunter, staring longingly at the sleeping sabers in Darnassus, dreaming of the day when I would ride one. And I was a dwarf, there was no reason for me to be in darnassus, other than to stare at those cats. And then I leveled. I spent so much time and effort farming rune cloth and doing the Nelf starting quests to get one of those beautiful cats, and when I was finally exalted, it was one of the happiest days I've had in wow. And then I set my sights on an even higher prize; the winterspring frostsaber. I had gotten all the way to honored before the first rep change, and I was just at the end of revered when the second happened. I have my saber.

Now then, that said, the whole reason for this, is that I'd like to see frostsaber rock revamped with some of the existing saber models, since it's supposed to be the home of the frostsabers. This is how I would go about doing it.
I would like the normal frostsabers to be changed to:



I would like to see the frost saber stalkers changed to the riding ice model.

.

I would like to see the frostsaber huntresses changed to:


I would like to see Sian'rotam return as a permanent fixture like his mate, and be changed to:



This would both give shy a proper mate again and provide a source of the white striped skin that isn't a rare spawn. It would also free up rak'shiri for other rare skins or her old minty skin, either way. I was thinking also that maybe the mint could be made the rare and shy changed into a storm saber instead of adding another rare, but either way, whatever is easiest for you.


That would leave the forstsaber cubs for people who like the smaller white skin, and the smaller white tiger skin is readily available on the non rare spawn King Bangalesh.


I would like to see an unarmored version of the storm saber and the mist saber as rare spawns

TL;DR version:

I would like to see frostsaber rock updated in the following ways:

Frostsabers = small ice skin
Frostsaber stalkers = riding ice skin
frostsaber huntresses = riding white skin
frostsaber cubs = stay same
frostsaber pridewatchers = stay same
Rak'shiri = mint skin/stormsaber skin
Shy'rotam = stormsaber with no armor or stay same
Sian'rotam - come back and be a permanent fixture like Shy'rotam = riding white striped skin

Personally, I'd like to see the ice skins the most, as the white tigers don't fit as well in the zone as the ice skin does to me. And they are available at a lower level.
