Suggestions for our Lurker.. ;)

[Slivers]

Well, I've suggested this on the forums many times in the past and will do it here now in hopes and prayers of implementation.

PLEASE let US choose the pet tree for a pet upon successfully taming it!

The irony of being Beast Mastery and having less choice in which pet to use while raiding versus MM and SV is just wrong. Basically, what it boils down to for BM and raids is "Which ferocity pet must I use?"; severely limiting and bastardizing the whole BM talent concept in the first place. The difference of losing >500DPS for using a cunning pet or >1000DPS for a Tenacity pet forces 90% of all Raid usage to the ferocity tree pets. As MM and SV the difference in ferocity and cunning is negligible and therefore, contrary to design principles, offers more true pet choice during raids than BM.

There's nothing I'd like more than to choose a Pet based on my play style, my story, and my BM heritage ... and actually know I'd be able to USE it on raid ... One ferocity chimera, please!

[malikith]

I agree with Slivers..as Ive mentioned before elsewhere.

[Sherbe]

First, thank yous. Thank you Noah for making Karoma a tamable mob, I was one who though I don't need a spectral wolf but when I got him he captured my heart. And THANK YOU for making a common mob with the Madexx skin. I have a red and as of yesterday, blue Madexx, but I also love green and bronze skins, and I'm just relieved to know I can get the bronze anytime, no fuss no muss. My baby scorpie Yay is one of my great joys!

Now, suggestions....I wish there were tamable hydras too, I love the sounds they make and Zangarmars was such a torture, hydras everywhere but not for me.
Also, I wish there were realistic lynxes. I love the druid-model cats, but I still wish we could bump into a smaller cat with very round body, stump tail and fuzz in the end of its ears. I figure the face could be modelled after Loque'nahaks face. It'd be so cute and vicious!
Also, tameable Dawnsaber. I love the colouring so much! Please!
Tameable Hawkstriders! They are obvioysly related to tallstriders and the colour options would be endless! Put them into Skettis is you want a "suitable place"!
And finally, tameable (probably rare) gemcat! I love the aqua turquoise skin but any colour would be great!

Thank you for listening!

[Ijomi]

Definitely want to add to the props for you, Noah. I'm loving my stables.

Shorter respawn timers, please. Especially for high-population servers, camping rarespawns is not by any stretch of the word "fun".

Despite their new label as Elementals, I'm still gunning for Gyreworms. We already got pet rocks with Shale Spiders, please give us one more! I will give you Goblin hugs.

Updated lion models in general, I'm sure this has been brought up before. I love Pitch/Humar and Echeeyakee, but the thick, pixelated whiskers and manes are pretty distracting....and to get a lion without that, you have to pull a Sambas camp, see above. I absolutely love that you made the new Horde Scorpid model available outside of Madexx....yes, even though my Bronze is the "rare". Please consider doing the same for the lion. Just updating Humar or Echeeyakee would do the trick, spare any complaints like the ones "Common Brown Horde Scorpid" brought. Or just take those sugar-dipped whiskers off the old models.

Make Pterrordax and thunder lizards tameable! There is no reason why pterrordax can't at least be placed in the bat family, since bats have so few skins. Thunder lizards (along with clefthooves) are a no brainer shoe-in for the rhino family, too! Give me this and I can die a happy hunter!

[winny]

suggestions:

1. Pterrordax
2. Dog like-perky pug?
3. exotic things like slimes back plz, they are cute

[Loki]

Just a collection of ideas for new families/abilities and pets that could be shoehorned into old ones (with a bit of renaming):

Basilisk - New family, exotic, stun, maybe armor buff ?
Hydra - New family, exotic, acid spit magic vunerability, maybe AP buff ?
Stags/Talbuks/Shoveltusks/Zehvra/Rams/Giraffes - New family, AOE stomp 1 sec stun attack or AOE damage attack
Hippogryphs/Gryphons/Wind Riders/Wyverns - New family, exotic, disarm, haste buff ?
Thunder Lizards - New family, exotic, lightning breath armor debuff ? Stun ? Spell power buff ?
Mana wyrms - New family, exotic, spell power buff, wind serpent lightning special debuff

Pterrodax - Into bats (rename into screechers ?)
Kodo/Clefthooves/Elekks/Mammoths - Into rhinos (rename to something else)
Dimetrodons - Into crocolisks
Gyreworms - Into shale spiders (rename web into acid spit, rename into shale beasts)
Hawkstriders - Into tallstriders (rename to striders)
Marshwalkers - Into spore bats (rename into spore beasts)
Gem cats - Into cats
Phoenix - Into spirit beasts/birds of prey

[Cblaze12]

Make blazewing the new spirit beast
That is all

PLEASE let US choose the pet tree for a pet upon successfully taming it!

I second this.
a Ferocity turtle for pvp would be a wild dream come true


Also a big callout from me:

Please make Lobsters Tameble beasts. crab tree or whatever.
They should be, and I, and many with me, would love to have one.

Now now, we cant have that, otherwise everyone would pick Sporebat for everything.

I think it far more likely to say that's not possible because if we could make a Chimera or a Worm Ferocity, we'd be required to use them to the exclusion of any other pet family simply because they have family abilities that actually do damage. That, combined with the damage-increasing talents in the Ferocity pet tree, would make it "Bring a Ferocity Chimera or Worm or GTFO." Which is precisely what the pet ability redesign was intended to avoid.

I disagree, both abilities have drawbacks which make the abilities not really affect DPS, using it or not... At least for single target. Also, ferocity isn't ahead of Cunning, so the point is a bit moot, as if the ability was that good, Chimaera would be a must have anyways, which they aren't.

[Vephriel]

Thank you again Noah for the wonderful additions in 4.1!

[Lupis]

*Adores Noah right now*
You are my favorite person ever!
New cats! AMG!

The only cats left that I want would be the Riding Tiger yellow/tan skins!

[Kalliope]

I....do not have words, Noah. For all that I wrote before, nothing seems to convey just how much Chitter means to me. And to Orpheus.

Dear mr awesome lurker

Please change Rhino's normal ability and its exotic skill, as both next to useless for bm and because of the focus cost is too high.

Here is a suggestion

Stampede Special Ability
5 yd range
Instant 8 sec cooldown
Slams at an enemy, breaking their armor, reducing it by 4%. Stacks up to 3 times. Lasts 30 sec.


Horn Toss Exotic Skill
Instant 1 minute Cooldown
Melee range
25 Focus
The Rhino punts the enemy with its mighty horn, knocking them back a great distance


and maybe we bm hunters can have a pet that can fear? cough*devilsaur

the problem with horn toss is the focus cost. Would be awesome if Hydra is an exotic pet can be given that ":)

[Holgarr]

Blizz really needs to make sure that all skins/models for a mob share animations... While regular corehounds and Kurken can swim, Chromaggus still stomps around everywhere, even underwater.

[Zangor]

i was hoping for gyreworms but now i think that the rare one should be tameable if any of them become tameable....that way it will feel special
also im hoping we get a raptor spirit beast this patch if the trend continues which it probably will.

[Vetiver]

re casting votes for tameable blazewing and beauty's puppies!!

on the puppy note, everyone likes cuddly little almost-ferocious babies. like the pug!

[TygerDarkstorm]

Dear mr awesome lurker

Here is a suggestion

Normal Skill
Stampede
5 yard range
0.5 sec cast 1 min cooldown
The rhino slams itself to the target, disorienting them for 4 sec.

Exotic Skill
Protector of the herd
Level 85
Instant
Gives 4075 additional armor to party and raid members within 40 yards.

While I agree that the rhino's bleed ability is useless, the knockback was something they gave back to the rhino. I'm glad to have it back as it has its uses in PvP (which seems to be a popular move amongst many of the tenacity pets) and is currently the only pet with such an ability. I'd personally like to keep the knockback and change the unneeded bleed increase.
