So it starts.. What 4 pets are you bringing?..

[Felidire]

I'd definately bring Loque, he'll be out the majority of the time with me as I level; then it would be a choice between Chromaggus and the Silithid for #2.

I'll most likely leave slot #4 empty, just incase a super-duper-shiny-purple-rare pet that only spawns for 20 seconds once every 4 years appears right infront of me..

I'll leave slot #3 empty as well, just incase I run into TWO of them! >:3

[Kathrane]

Planning to bring 3 pets (dream team) in with me:

Barnaby (regular Prowler model wolf): I started the game years ago with this pet and I'll be damned if I will explore this shattered world without him.

Boaz (Ghamoo-Ra): While my fave tanking pets are bears, with last patch came some changes. My tanking buddy Boogie shifted from a polar bear to a grayed bear with bluish face. Looks to have really aged him. Meanwhile I decided to tame a turtle given that I liked how the new skin looked. Then I became really attached. The shell dude has grown on me immensely. So I decided to retire Boogie (thank you my friend for saving my behind more times then I can count) and enter the new era with a new tank. The only constants are changes...

Barend (Arcturis): Another pet that has grown on me immensely in wrath. As a dwarf I feel very naked without a bear and as I am retiring my bear tank I decided to at least have one bear with with me if only in spirit. Ha! See what I did there. Hahaha..ah..yea. ::cough cough:: moving on now...

My 4th slot will remain empty for the time being in the event I find a beast that I think will mesh well with the family. Once I the 5th slot, mostly likely I'll bring a pet who still needs to be leveled, that remains to be seen. I have also "retired" my normal land mount, the Stormpike Charger, and opted to ride out on my White Polar Bear though my flyer will remain to be the Turbo-Charged Flying Machine. Looks like in Cata, some things will be shaken up a bit.

[Icharia]

Chromaggus
Bagu (Arcturis)
Koldir (Skoll)
and possibly Sol (Warp stalker)

[Phoronid]

Flaming Boar, Pink Tallstrider, Oil-Stained Wolf, and one blank spot for "OMG" tames...

[Rhyela]

It'll be hard to decide because I like all the pets I have (and some I love!), but it'll probably be 1) Ysuran (green carrion bird); 2) Sheldon (turtle) or Nago (flaming boar) for tanking situations; 3) Nemaeus (black panther), and the fourth will probably be kept blank or rotated among my stabled pets depending on the situation.

Edit: And at 82 when we get our last active slot, I'll almost definitely bring Apollyon (King Krush). Gonna give him some rest to start so I can level up some of my others. But my best bud won't be kept in there for long.

2) Sheldon (turtle)

Hey, who let him out of my stables?!
I'm hoping my Sheldon (Ghamoo-ra) will develop a serious attitude in Cataclysm, so when he gets angry he turns into Heldon (Terrorpene)... Not looking forward to the camping however. >.<

[Astratia]

I don't have a 100% set team, but will more then likely switch pets depending on the situation or who I feel like showing off

Rak'shiri will be hanging out with me. We have gone through all the adventures, even killing the Lich King. I see no reason why he won't be tagging along.

Loque will be my heals and a handy partner when traveling and leveling. I may switch him out with Skoll or Gondria from time to time.

Atha my Hydra may tag along as well a lot when I have to do quest that require killing a lot of mobs or an elite. He's made a handy tankm and proved his worth pet tanking heroics, AQ and other random things.

My Final forth spot will remain open in-case I come across a rare to tame. When I get the fifth spot that will be open, and I think Ashtail may join me

[Victorelle]

Oceanstar (Ashtail)
Ketsueki (Daggertail lizard)
Bob (blue brainbug)
Umi (Blue Dragonhawk)

:3

[grafx]

IM bring Gondira... for the heal, the passive 155Agi, and being ferocity..

leaving my other 3 open for tames

[Rhyela]

2) Sheldon (turtle)

Hey, who let him out of my stables?!
I'm hoping my Sheldon (Ghamoo-ra) will develop a serious attitude in Cataclysm, so when he gets angry he turns into Heldon (Terrorpene)... Not looking forward to the camping however. >.<

AMG! I was initially going to get Terrorpene and name him Heldon, too!!! Dead serious!!! Weird.....

Buuuut, I'm very fond of Sheldon as he is, so I won't be getting Terrorpene unless I have extra stable slots. I'll admire him from afar.

[Neith]

I'll be bringing Arcturis (Haven't named him yet) because he's beautiful or Loque (Mairon) (I'm 4/4 but I like those two the most) and a turtle (also not named yet), then likely one of my foxes. Either Ashtail (Duilin) or Cynegrim the silver one. Saving a spot for anything else I might run across that I will want. I plan on replacing my turtle with a scarab beetle as quick as I can, because they are so darn pretty.

[Moonlost]

I'm thinking for Durana;
1)Zephiel (Loque'nahak)
2)Umbra (Black Warp Stalker)
3)Balaur (Green Devilsaur)
4)Blank, up until she hits 82, then most likely Khopesh (Orange Brain Bug)
5)Blank for sudden tames

[Cialbi]

Umbra - what a perfect name! Would work great for an oil-stained pet.

[Elhessar]

I'll have a leveling MMS spec and a secondary dps BM spec, and in my four beast tactical team there will be:
Reventon, my old oily WOLF, with a pure dps spec to nuke mobs while questing and doing instances.
Shelly, my trusty ancient TURTLE with a pure survivability spec, for elite mobs, big packs aoe nuke and WTF moments in instances.
Mojito, my green CAT, with a selfhealing and resistance spec, to quest againts thougher mobs at lvl 83.
Zed, my lvl 77 undead Bird of Prey: even if I love him, he will be abandoned just in case I come across Terrorpene...

The 5th spot will be covered by my glowy BEAR Grylls with an hybrid spec, or by my MC Corehound, for more support on Terrorpene.

Good luck everyone!
