Dear esteemed lurker

It has been brought to my attention that a lot of people feel 'forced' to bring certain pets because of the skills provided but like all of us, there are just some pets that we hold so dear to our heart.

So why not let hunters or even warlocks to transmorg their pets as long as the pets that they use to mog as are either active or in the stable? And for people who don't like this idea, well like normal mogging, if this option is available, you don't have to mog your pet.

In terms of pvp, o hey you gave rogues the ability to disguise themselves as other humanoids :P but seriously though I want to bring bres, or free widow venom or maybe water walking when I pve but I love my Armored wolf so much.

So pls kty

Sorry to sound harsh... but this will never happen. Pets are pets, not tools or weapons. What with people wanting to have a pet-journal-like stable, and now transmogging pets... why would you want to throw away the only class that has a legitimate friendly bond with its pets?

If you really like your armored wolf, use him whenever you can. Alternate between the pets you love, and only use "utility" pets when you ABSOLUTELY have to. Pet families with different abilities are the only thing that sets them apart besides looks.
Plus, it would screw up PvP.

Forced? Darlin, most 10-man raids have all buffs covered so no hunter is forced to do anything.

sooo much agree

I want to have a bond with my Müsli.. she will always be a cat, and if i dont want to bring Marandor (my quillen) then i dont.. If ppl want to yell at me for not having brez.. let them.. then i just ignore them. I run with what I like since its Me which im playing to make happy.. not other ppl :P

just a wishful thinking :( I know but yeah .. I wish as a BM my wolf would have an extra skill compared to MM's and Surv's wolves.

Pretty horrendous idea. This will eventually be a competitive mini-game. Hiding your, let's say, Dragonkin, behind a Critter, is quite unfair. I can't even see it being applied to pets of the same class because there are hundreds of pets in game as is.

I'm confused by this. What do you mean extra skill? You mean Furious Howl?

He wants non-exotic pets to have exotic abilities when being used by BM hunters.

Even the right 5-man setup can come close to hitting all 8 raid buffs (as for debuffs, not sure).

I think mogging your pet to look like another is out of question...

...BUT, if you could mog things into them (Like the Fez monkey), ex. armor into cats/wolves/raptors or other cosmetics effects... maybe it could work

Just run using your wolf. There is nothing that says you cannot.

Just keep your four other pets with a utility that you may need in your on call and summon dismiss as needed.

I have a quilen that I run with, but my active pet is usually my crane. If I know the heals if having trouble or it is a big boss, I'll switch them out, otherwise I deal with the trash mobs with my crane or whatever pet I feel like playing with at the moment.

There is nothing that says you have to use the same pet the entire instance/raid/fight.
