I'm sure you've all read the patch notes. It seems bad manner now breaks on damage, which seems appropriate. However I liked the fact that is was essentially a kidney shot. I suppose all this debate over monkeys being viable will die soon. Oh well, It'll still be fun to fling fecal matter at people right?

Also, the new shale spider ability. I'm hoping web wrap is something like the channeled coccoon thing nerubians do and not just another clone of the 4 sec snare ability...

What are your thoughts on the 4.0.6 pet changes?

(oh yeah and tailspin/dustcloud is now balanced clutchmother lovers)

Web Wrab was already confirmed to be a stun on Wowhead's PTR spells.

I'm glad it got nerfed, as it was OP and clearly a bug. If you DO want a Cunning pet with a (real) stun, get a Bat :)

First thing I thought of with this post were the pre-bc days doing a run in ZG and begging the guild to let me start taming one of the bats before the tank pulled so that he could peel the rest off of me.

:shock: That's gutsy! I remember how hard those packs hit the tanks! I tamed mine only after the bat riders were killed and I could justify "doing nothing useful" for long enough to pull aggro on one of the remaining bats and tame it. Definitely one of my most exciting tames, right up there with The Beast!

While I have to admit that normalized attack speed is a good idea, it was fun to have a caster-chewing bat back then...
