I wouldn't say they were useless, in fact as a BM enthusiast yourself, if you have BM talents you can get a 2 second interrupt with pummel, below 20 secs cooldown, and it's set and forget as you can put it on autocast. I know for raiding it would not be optimal in most situations due to it's family group, but then some times it's not about dps, but more so control.Jessibelle wrote:Yeah.

Seems that Gorillas/Monkeys are overall disliked. Interesting!
There was also that time where the scourge invasion started just b4 wrath, and we got our new talents and specs b4 the expansion. OMG they were the absolute fo shizzle! Their Thunderstop used to do Sooooo much damage and cause Sooooo much threat you could gather up literally 10+ mobs of your lvl and just volley them all into the ground. All this with NO aggro issues (this b4 the MD Glyph), They were So OP back then. But yeah, in the end all tenacity got TS (I remember GC trying to explain how a worm could Thunerstomp with it's little feelers ) and it's damage and aggro barely kept the mend pet aggro off you. (not that it didn't need the nerf, but it was fun while it lasted.)
I too however, find the model a little on the off side (and as some one mentioned b4, the pink face one creeps me out too) but I would rank there usefulness rather high up there in certain scenarios, which is more than a lot of others we have imo.
