MoP pets better than Cata rares?
For example, would you get the Dragon turtles over Terrorpene?
Or the new Tigers over Sambas?

Re: MoP pets better than Cata rares?
I'm certainly evolving my Terrorpene into a Dragon Turtle, for instance. The rare aspect doesn't hold as much weight for me as the appearance of the pet itself. If I love the model I'll tame it whether it's rare or common. I'm completely in love with the dragon turtle models, so I'll be changing my Iggy into one.
I vastly prefer the new tigers to Sambas, but that's just because I'm not fond of his large mane. I've never had Sambas tamed since he doesn't appeal to me, but the new black tiger is on my pickup list.

Re: MoP pets better than Cata rares?
Sambas never appealed to me cause he got the "jacking hairgell" syndrom. I dont mind him at all just..not my fav.
For dragon turtles vs terror. i was never a big fan of turtles so i wont get anny, but if id have to chose i think id go with Terrorpene.
sadly Cata had alot of reskins of older rare models (spirit cats im looking at you guys, and you spiders) but it also gave us ALOT of unused skins and some new ones too boot! Like all the wonderfull warpstalkers and cats!

Re: MoP pets better than Cata rares?
As for the turtles... I never really used them. I had Terrorpene for a good while and he just took up space, burning a hole in my stables, so I tossed him awhile ago. I prefer shale spiders as tanks in live (and in beta I am loving my spirit beast Ban'thalos tank in beta just because I love running with my sb and a tank specced one keeps me from pulling off him so much). Though I will likely get one of the dragon turtles, as I am loving the design and animation in beta.

Re: MoP pets better than Cata rares?
I am grabbing one of the new black tigers. I couldnt click with Sambas and I cant use my guild mount either. I just dont like the way he looks. The new tigers are going to cause a conflict in my though because I love them, but I love my current lion as well lol.

Yep!Vephriel wrote:I think it'll all come down to individual preference.
I never care whether a pet is rare or not, just whether I like it. Thus far, I've only been attracted to the completely new families (porcupines, quilen, fen striders, basilisks, goats, cranes), but after I swore up and down for the majority of Cataclysm that I couldn't stand the look of Sambas and have now realized that I love the fluffball, I can't guarantee anything. All I can say for certain is that I'm not changing any pets to new skins based on MoP. Yet.

Since a Pandaren Hunter is on my To-do, she can just have the dragon turtle.

As for cats, I love the model, but I'll have to see whether I actually *bond* with one. I'm not a cat person for the most part. Sambas won me over because he kept showing up for me. Andstill does, more often than expected. My Evangelion and I are grinding-partners, and I love him for that reason.

On a side note, I'm probably gonna like having a pet Marsh Walker... and maybe I'll pay the Outland Basilisks a visit too.

Re: MoP pets better than Cata rares?
Karoma is one of a kind thats openly available to players for her skin and with no new wolves being put out in mists, she doesnt have any competition, not that id ever get rid of her anyways xD
Ive never really liked sambas because of his mane (though i do believe i still have him on my ally hunter) but with no new lions coming out, he doesnt really have competition either.
I def gotta say that Shango will not be replaced for the new tiger model though on my blood elf. Creamsicle (shango's tamed name) matched my blood elf perfectly and her old RP dress she got back in TBC is a perfect match. The new tigers lack the right hue of colors and are far too refined for what i want outta my pretty orange kitty <3 but the black tigers and the pure white tiger (if we'll ever bloody see it.. i don think we've encountered the pure white model yet but rather the greyish one) are absolutely hands down getting tamed asap on my main hunter when she hits their lvls
