I used to love my sporebat pre-4.0 when it was one of the few remaining AOE dmg pet spells; nowadays... eh. I don't PVP, and instances are so easy you don't need any special tactics for them. Might be handy for raids, can't say as I haven't done one in a while?

So, my sporebat has remained in the stables for the time being.

But, from what I've heard cata 5 mans should be harder, presumably requiring some degree of strategerizing*, possibly(?) even bringing back a CC element, so you never know - sporebats might become popular again...**

EDIT: From the RP'ing side... I also loved Zangarmarsh. Pretty much any zone with giant mushrooms is okay with me (reminds me of Nausicaa / Valley of the Winds) :mrgreen: - and speaking of which, I don't see a major problem with adding sporebats to any such zone, seeing as how they are fungus based life forms. Yeah I know technically they are an "Outland species", but then so was the giant firefly... until it wasn't. :P

*At least until all the 85s are several tiers into the new end gear, and it all reverts to EZ mode

**When I say "CC" I'm speaking very generically here, since obviously in this case we're talking about slowing enemies down not paralyzing them, but same general idea...

I wouldn't mind seeing some new colours for them, but I'm afraid I can't really...uh...take them seriously anymore. What has been seen cannot be unseen. :lol:

LOL! Sporebats were ruined in a much more graphic way than Veph's. You tend to find some wow sites that are not so kid friendly....XD

Anzu is also ruined for me too....XD

Should I be worried that I wasn't phased at all by that, like it was perfectly normal? :?

I have a soft spot for sporebat, used it in raids prior the abilities changes. My Draenei hunter has the blue one while my orc uses the yellow one :).

Used to tamed the green ones from the dungeon when pet still had the 'elite' tag.

Don't worry, I knew. It would've been kinda disturbing if I actually hadn't realized this.

I wonder if part of the reason why sporebats get so little love is because we tend to get so sidetracked whenever that pet family gets brought up. I guess the sporebat is cursed to come in only three varieties :|

If it's any consolation, upon seeing them while Tailcoy was hauling my Undead Priest around Coilfang, we both declared we wanted a bluje one when our Hunters got high enough. They're just neat.

Wierdly brain hasn't defaulted to anything wierd on the tail, just a tail to me. Maybe it's graphic glitches that get me more.
My main's a Druid so I of course love critters. That counts for something right? Right?

Rest in Peace Yasindra/Ryai
