Unread post by Soulhoarder »

I was wondering which is better for pvp a spider or cat?
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.

it would really help if you told us your toon/style of play/etc like that because it really, really depends on how you play. Spiders, when played well are remarkable for stopping the EFC. But I've seen poorly managed spiders fail and easily kited off and away by myself or my pet.

Cats on the other hand are good but they really shine with night elves- from the dual stealth/surprise attack combo.

If you don't like micromanagement, go for the cat.

If you like management of pets, go for the spider.

Mmm I agree with Ryai here. Oh, if only we had more than one stable slot and could try out different pets! Oh wait... :roll:

Cats are not PvP pets. All I'm gonna say.

Your sig is kind of ironic, tbqh.

I forgot to mention that I'm a night elf. I've been trying out all kinds of races and classes.

I personally liked hyenas a lot. They are ferocity so good damage, plus you can't beat a quick-cooldown hamstring-like ability (Tendon Rip I think it's called?). If you have to choose I'd say go hyena. There are some very pretty ones out there, I personally liked the red one the best but that's in Scarlet Monastary, so not quite your level yet. The purple ones are also attractive. :)

The immobilize effect is infinitely more useful in PvP over prowl/rake in my opinion.

Lol, good point. I think maybe I assumed he was under level 30. Not sure why. Maybe my lack of sleep the past few days, hehe..... :?
