Dire Beast Customisation

[The Insect Man]

With Dire Beast as a possible Big Investment in the new talent trees, what beasts does it actually summon and are there glyphs and things to customise what gets called up? I recall there used to be glyphs to make them all from your stable, or all spiders, or the like?

(Also, any good sources for hunter talent builds?)

Glyph of Arachnophobia: summons spiders more often.
Glyph of Dire Bees: summons dire bees. DIRE BEES!
Glyph of Nesingwary's Nemeses: summons beasts that Hemet Nessingwary had us hunt over the years. According to wowhead, this one can spawn a proto-drake.
Glyph of the Dire Stable: summons a random stabled pet.

For talent builds, there's four locations you can use. In order of reliability;
Wowhead, as the guide writers take EXTENSIVE looks at everything, though you may have to wait for the cookie cutter builds to be updated.
Icy Veins, which is a significantly more simple version of the Wowhead class guides.
Maxroll.gg, a relatively reliable site that's not as extensively used but has good data.
Trueshot Lodge, a discord specifically created to discuss hunter things. I never go here because I see no purpose, but I know it's fairly populated and you can get answers quickly if you somehow have trouble with the class.

Keep in mind; class builds won't be optimal until maybe a week into the first raid of Dragonflight. Guides won't be wrong, per se, but they'll be getting optimized continuously until we're used to the raid.

Maxroll doesn't seem to have Warcraft as an option?

Dire Beast currently summons the generic old ones.

It also still fails to respect Feign Death, a problem for many expansions, so it can get you killed. This sucks for a talent with such a high prominence in the new tree.

Ah, you're right.Guess I got mixed up earlier.

Dire stable is the best glyph since it summons pets you tamed and wanted, nessingwary’s looked promising, but it only summoned the elekk, windroc, and the talbuk, I tried going for a proto drake and a fog beast but none of those spawned

With the glyph if you have Teroclaws in your stable they come out gigantic when summoned:

Anyone know of others that come out like that? Raigonn the green Kunchong comes out huge too so i am guessing all Kunchongs also <_<

Big Red Raygun + Glyph of Dire Stable = silly shenanigans. I couldn't get a good view of this at all lol

I’m confused on what that is, but it’s humongous

[WerebearGuy]

It's a kunchong. A very, very big kunchong. Or, more accurately, a kunCHONK.
