Can we talk about how amazing the snake jump animation is?
A fun place to chat about hunter pets in the World of Warcraft.

I had fun doing that with snake pets, I’m going to troll people with this when prepatch goes live, where I can gank low levels with EOTBClayford13 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 4:46 pm Can we talk about how amazing the snake jump animation is?
Isn't this because they unpruned Tranquilizing Shot? Would be weird to have 2 different dispells on different cooldowns.abellemorte wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2020 7:43 pm None of my rays have Nether Shock, and my Spirit Beasts don’t have Spirit Shock either.
this is exactly it, we get tranq shot baseline so all those pets that had a purge as a special ability now have nothingAaralyn wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 2:39 amIsn't this because they unpruned Tranquilizing Shot?

Spirit Beasts still have heal, though! ^^Tonnes wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 2:45 amthis is exactly it, we get tranq shot baseline so all those pets that had a purge as a special ability now have nothingAaralyn wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 2:39 amIsn't this because they unpruned Tranquilizing Shot?

the movement speed is kind of helpful, but not as good defensively as leech or health. add in avoidance and it would complete the "getting out of danger fast and safe" idea.WerebearGuy wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 1:37 pm Yeah, cunning is way overdue for a fix/overhaul. They're literally the wrong choice, and have been ever since the forced pet spec was implemented. Really, it should just be removed. Put Master's Call into all hunter specs as a baseline ability, and convert all cunning pets to either Ferocity or Tenacity. Mechanicals for example should be tenacity while serpents should be ferocity, for example. Cunning sacrifices all benefits for a snare removal, which is exceedingly lackluster. It's like bringing a Windwalker Monk to any content (poor WW Monks, BfA did you wrong).
Unrelated, but I'm (not) proud to report that Bloodbeak is still doing the tame bug on PTR. Buggy bird.
Personally think it'd be a good idea. Where'd they fit, though? Spiders? Maybe Aqiri?The Insect Man wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 3:26 pm OK, so it's a stretch but would someone be so kind as to drop a suggestion in the beta to suggest that the Nerubian Fliers and Skitterers might be made tameable as undead beasts?
I think the giant beetle nerubian me should be aqiri, and the flyers and skitterers should be spidersQraljar wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 3:28 pmPersonally think it'd be a good idea.

Understandable, but is still want those nerubian skitterers and flyers, the flyer would pair well with my blood tick, I kinda want anima ticks tooWerebearGuy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 3:54 pm Giant beetles? If you mean the ones that have a silithid colossus rig, those are people. They're huge, but they're people. Kind of like how the giant gorilla trolls are still trolls.
Crypt Lords are sadly far more sentient than Aqir Goliaths, Kunchong and Silithid Colossi.worgpower wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 3:51 pmI think the giant beetle nerubian me should be aqiri, and the flyers and skitterers should be spidersQraljar wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 3:28 pmPersonally think it'd be a good idea.
