Other than the obvious flame to blizzard for making Wind Serpents Cunning instead of Ferocity, this is awesome! Good work.

*Looks for cookies.*
ok, I can't find any cookies. Still good work!

I'm just SO tempted to write a 3 paragraph mock rant. But I won't.

yay! the spec that you showed for Spirit Beast REALLY helped when it comes to specing my pets i'm always trapped in ideas

Thank you for the in-depth and full color with pics information! This was very helpful!

Great guide and Info. As I am a fairly new player and poster here this has helped me greatly

I was just about to ask a question that this answered! Thanks!

Thanks so much for updating this! It'll come in handy when I get around to speccing a dozen pets tomorrow :b

Man, that was a lot of work.

Very nice Chris, thanks for all the work!

The wolf image should probably be changed; the Blighthound is a dog in Cata, if I remember right.

I love this post. So much info!

Edit: Froststorm Breath input...it's usuable, but it's glitchy (for me, at least - my chimera stops channeling to use attacks), it's a cone, and it's not autocastable. Very klunky.

Ah, is that what was happening? I was wondering about that on live. I kept trying to get my chimera to use it and... well... it wouldn't. I wasn't sure if the channel was being interrupted by attacks (unlike the worm's channel which goes to full) or if it was just only hitting one target. Hopefully they fix that.

I don't mind, my own self, that the AOE isn't autocastable. I'd probably use it manually anyhow. Gathering a bunch of enemies, making sure I had some damage on them so they'd not die without me being able to loot, and then AOE'ing the heck out of them.

Thanks for the input guys. I'll advise people to use chimeraes at their own risk then.

Hmm, the cone may be better for dungeons and raids. The fact that it isn't an auto cast is helpful for attack management and keeps newb hunters from leaving it on.


The worm's ability is incredibly useful. When Chrizesu is in her bm spec I have her with Scotch the worm. This morning I'm going to go try and get the purple chimerea. If he isn't up I'll just take one from Blade's Edge for testing.

Thx for the great thread, just wondering why it isn't worth a sticky?

Back to topic: i may be wrong, but for me the links don't work

For example:

Surv/Marks Ferocity PVP (N/A) http://www.wowhead.com/?petcalc#0M0zbf0zzhko

Could you check that?

Actually it is, but since we have such a large amount of resourceful threads that could use stickies, we've gathered them up in Resource Posts that are stickied at the top of each forum for easy access. This thread is included in that post. Otherwise the top of each sub-forum becomes too cluttered with sticky threads.

It's wowhead trying to spite me. Well, not really, but the calculator on wowhead is broken at the moment.

Tomorrow while you guys are off taming I'll be fixing this list for the new pet families. (not to mention the wolf picture is now a dog *grumble*)

Great guide!
Although it hasn't helped me decide what pets i should tame
But it has helped me decide what 23/36 pets i should tame

Links for talent trees are still broken. Any chance you could redo them?

This is a problem on Wowhead's side. Their pet talent calculator has run into issues recently.

It is possible to alter the specs of you pets via battle.net. However, there is no option to make a custom link to a talent build that you make in this manner. I'm hoping that we get a pet talent calculator once the new Armory is up and running on battle.net, since I don't know when Wowhead will be able to fix their pet talent calculator.

So, in the meantime, I'm afraid there's little that Chrizesu can do
