I am VERY disappointed with the pet nerf. Do you know what it's like trying to tame a level 60 bat with 1.0 attack speed that you have no hope of escaping if it goes bad? It's not like you find them all by their lonesome. I was in so many ZG groups that broke up before doing the bats; and when I did get a chance, I died so many times taming that bat. Toss in the fact that it is MUCH more likely to run away than other pets. It GODDAMNED better be a boatload better than your normal pet. But now - It's not. No pet will even be able to keep up with me when Im mounted. Normal characters - not even epic mounts will leave my pet in the dust. And if they're going to make everything dependant on training points - how about giving us more training points to work with.

Rrrrgg. Just what hunters needed - a nerf.

I don't really like the idea of this.... I don't want to fear losing half my WSG team just because the AB que came up. They are trying to stop people from ditching games early with the 15 min penalty (which I think should be 30 min), but yet they do something like this.... What does everyone else think.

Death Coil/fear thing? Are you referring to the fact that the Horror effect from Death Coil, which lasts for a few seconds and has a decent cooldown, cannot be countered by the tons of trinkets and abilities that negate Fear?

Warlocks have one defensive ability that you can't counter. Everybody and his brother has some way to negate fear, why shouldn't a lock still be able to defend themselves?



I'm not. I agree that there shouldn't be a pet that is considered "the best" due to its stats, like Broken Tooth is. Why are Broken Tooth and the ZG bat considered so good? Because they're the only two pets with 1.0 attack speed. If there were more pets with 1.0, it wouldn't be nearly an issue. If they made it so that no pets had 1.0 attack speed, it also wouldn't be an issue.

The ZG bat and AV Frostwolf were the only two pets capable of outrunning epic mounts. The correct fix for this is "no pets able to outrun epic mounts." Unfortunately, Blizz took it too far and decided "no pets able to outrun players with any form of speed enhancement."

If it gets to the point where taming a pet is only about looks, why not just buy skins from your hunter trainer? Why even bother taming a pet? You could just pick your pet at the trainer and they hand you one. That would fit what you want, right? Even the newbies getting their first pets can be different -- they're not constricted by the available pet skins at their level!

Going out to tame a pet and getting one exactly the same as every other pet is a waste of time. There should not be pets that are so far above the rest you have to get them... but they certainly do not need to become blank slates.
