Bloodlust / Heroism
Ancient Hysteria (Core Hound - E) - Increases melee, ranged, and spell casting speed by 30% for all party and raid members. Lasts 40 sec. Allies receiving this effect will become Sated and be unable to benefit from Bloodlust or Time Warp again for 10 min. / Instant, 6 min cooldown

Might want to fix that xD Also, else unhappy with Time Warp? If my pet slows time, then golly I want to use him to get that stupid arena trinket! Make him...AoE everyone out of combat and stunned until he stops channeling! 8D Not OP AT ALL...heck, I want normal Warp back :/ I love Kael, my teleporting lizard, not my time-affecting lizard. Not that I don't love him either way. He's my Kael 8D They should give them mage ports (not portals) because it would be awesome.

The list is originally from MMO (credit where credit's due), but it's VERY helpful having it reposted here.

Expect one of these abilities to be renamed at some point - to avoid confusion!

Tooltip should prolly be changed to Not-Toxic Webs xD And how does cracking someone's ankle open not do damage? And how does a freezing storm of lightning not do damage? And why am I asking so many dumb questions? Does Lightning Breath/Fire Breath do damage? They sound painful.

Don't want to seem unhappy, though. I love most of the changes (especially Spirit Beast, sounds like I might be doing a camping trip :/ Arcturis ofc, he's easiest with his single spawn point). Deadlock might see the light of day. Hey, does Explosive Shot DoT count as Magic damage or Physical damage for pet debuffs? I really want an excuse to use her soloing. xD Maybe I'll bring her along (for the mage's sake, of course). Loki might see more day, too, with him having his awesome new Ancient Hysteria. The only pet I'm a bit worried about is Kael, as I can't do as much with him if he doesn't have his survivability warp :/ as much as I love him, I can't put him against elites without it. It's almost as good as a turtle. And Hunger will be making his triumphant return.

And so I say wolves will be the prevalent pet for solo play because devilsaurs are BM only.

Pets will be dictated by the raid leader according to the buffs that are missing. Only if you happen to be in a perfectly composed raid with no missing buffs will you be able to use the pet you like the most.

And for solo play, you're right that the buffs you get from your pet are minimal, so some people will choose not to use the most optimum pet, but I believe most people will. The crit from wolves and devilsaurs is definitely the most ideal in a solo situation (questing, grinding, farming etc), with the armor reduction from raptors and serpents coming in second only because there really is no such thing as sustained dps on low HP mobs.
