Here I've been coating all hydras I see in salt... I see now... I gotcha...

=p

Looks rather likely though, based on what they've done. Not much to add to that.

Did the Hydras shrivel up?

If they did, then we know who to blame if they don't show up!

That said, I do hope they show up sooner rather than later. :3

I dont see why a GM would confirm hydras comming out unless he/she knew... otherwise i would think they would give you the i dont know/not at this time/wait and see kind of thing.

GMs have given answers before that have had opposite results happen. They are not always in the know of what the devs are doing.

For all we know, they get asked about hydras hundreds of times a day so they just say yes (or no) to try and keep people from asking them about it.

Only the devs know for sure what's going on with hydras.

We can be a needy bunch, that's true.

Meh, it'll be awhile before it hits live anyway. Hydras are the main pet i have always want, ever since i was a nub lowbie who had just started playing. BTW the other pet from the daily, the ooze... that did not get a new move set/move. I think blizz wouldn't go to all this trouble just to make 1 pet better (And not even the other glitched one). (And yeah labeling it a hydra and giving it a new move name some people will say is not much) But i think the fact the ooze got nothing new boosts the odds by ALOT.

Nobody here is denying that they're working to make hydras tamable.
I've seen a couple people make posts that feel as if someone's said they're not being tamable. I apologize if I'm reading the posts wrong, but it just seems worth clarifying that those of us exorcising caution don't believe that hydras won't be tamable ever.

So that's how this guy got that way!

Yeah like others have said. You cannot trust what a GM says regarding these things and I'll believe it when there is legitimate proof.

I still believe they will be tameable next patch if not after a certain maintenance / hotfix. If not that soon then oh well... some time within cata they should be here. Like i said blizz would not go to all the trouble to help the maybe 100 people with the hydra. Besides the ooze has nothing new

I still wish they were making them an AOE pet.. we need more AOE options...

yeah. the 5% crit is well covered by devilsaurs (for BM) and wolves (for mm/surv) and have lots of skins/models to choose from. i would say that the buff is well covered and as far as raids go there is usuly more then one hunter with a devilsaur/wolf out anyway. It would be nice to see the hydra cover somthing elce.

fear would be nice
aoe
perhaps somthing like what cats have? it would help balance things out.
a knock back would be great since rhinos are the only other pet that have it, and they are BM.
somthing new or not as well covered?

But honestly if all the hydra could do was blow soap bubbels i would still go get one I will just be happy if i can tame the darn thing! hydra with a 5% crit buff is better then no hydra at all.

Yeah... If I get one, it will likely take place of my Devilsaur. Siply because I LOVE hydras

well think about it, from blizzards point of view only 3 classes CAN do the 5% crit buff and it benefits everyone, i think its sub rogues (correct that please) fury warriors (again not sure on talent) and a hunter if he has said pet, look at pets they picked too, wolves (though one reason for their popularity was the AP buff) devilsaurs (which are AWESOME) and hydras (new pet a lot of people wanted...) i think they like the 5% crit buff a lot and they want to encourage more hunters to use it.

Personally i read a couple of things i loved in a similar thread

Hydras:Exotic ferocity or cunning
Thrash: Your hydra ferociously slams the target increasing all physical damage they recieve by 4%
Exotic ability: Wild thrashing: Your hydra starts wildly thrashing about, causing (some formula) damage over X seconds, channeled

You are correct in stating that Subtlety Rogues (Honor Among Thieves), Fury Warriors (Rampage), and Hunter pets (Wolves, Devilsaurs, and now Hydra's) provide the crit buff. I would however like to point out that Elemental Shaman also have Elemental Oath for a crit buff as well. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Feral druids bring 5% crit as well.

Hunters don't need three pets that bring a 5% crit buff. It feels silly and rather like a waste to me.

Are you sure? I know Druids bring Strength/Agility buff but I don't recall a Crit buff.

Nope sorry Jess, Warriors/DK's bring Str/Agi, Feral druids bring crit by the buff leader of the pack.
