Just a question.
I played an NE Hunter to lvl 20 during OB. However, I was unable to answer my own question before it ended.
Anyways. My question is this. Does the specific type of pet matter?
For example:
lvl 20 Young Thistle Bear vs. lvl 20 Mangleclaw Bear
or
lvl 20 Nightsabre vs. lvl 20 Moonstalker Shire
In both examples above, the first pet is one that can be tamed from a low level. Young Thistle Bear and Nightsabres are about lvl 7-9. The second pet's starting level is relatively higher; at around lvl 17 or 18.
So basically, in both examples, once the pets are tamed, they become their respective genre. For example, both Young Thistle Bear and Mangleclaw Bear become just "Bear". Nightsabre and Moonstalker become just "Cat". So theoretically, if both were equal level, they would have the same stats right? Or does the specific type (name of the type of bear/cat) matter?
Please Note: I am merely talking about BASE STATS - not the skills they possess or can learn (that i know ;])

They'll be about the same at the same level. There might be *slight* differences, but that's just because mob stats are set in a range (I think...I could be wrong though).
if you tame a bear. no matter if it's elit, diffrent name, diffrent color the stats will be the same.
bear is a bear
cat is a cat...
there is no one kick *** pet...
bear is good tank that eat every thing
turtle is very very good tank and nice danage... but picky eater
raptor looks cool... eat meat only... i like bear better but... i'm all for the look

Same thing. Doesn't matter. Not in the grand scheme of things anyway. Some monsters have a special attack that proc's when they fight but it's not enough to be drooling over or anything. Find which one you like graphically and stick with it.

Hmm...
ABOUT the same?
Hehe, so that would mean...a lvl 20 Moonstalker would be better (stat-wise) than the lvl 20 Nightsabre simply because the monster itself is tougher (since its found at lvl 18 as opposed to lvl 7)?
Hehe - just trying to find out so i can capitalize on my pet. I always thought the stats were based on genre. For example, all "Cat"-types got the same stats (faster attack speed, medium health, medium armor) while all "Bear"-types got their own specific stats (slower attack speed, high health, high armor).

Hehe, you guys posted while I was replying to 1st reply.
Thanks - I got it now =)

There's no way to say for certain if all pets are similar. Blizzard has not put in all the pet abilities yet but it can be inferred from the Hunter quest that Ice Bears will have their Ice Claw attack, but it is unknown if you can teach it to other pets, or even other bears.
Also I have read that Spiders are pretty good pets because they attack very fast, which makes them ideal against casters.

By about the same I mean if you tame one Moonstalker it's stats might be slightly different than another Moonstalker of the same level...although it wouldn't be a big enough difference to make any difference, like maybe 1-2 points different is all I'm talking. Cats are cats, bears are bears, there's no difference on what kind they are, all that determines is what they look like (color, size, whatever). It doesn't affect their stats. =)
can the slimes in the wetlands be tamed?
either way i love the idea of being able to have allmost any monster from the game as a life time companion for your hunter, it would probaly mean i wouldent bother getting a pet till i had found the perfect one for me.
even if that did make leveling harder in the long run till i found one.

The stats between animals is just like stats between Gnomes and Orc's. In the end game... IT DOES NOT MATTER. When you're looking two lvl 60 pets in the mouth you're really not too concerned about the 60 extra hitpoints that a bear has and the 12 extra points of agility that a nightsabre has. Seriously... don't worry about it. Just find what you think is cool and stick with it.
i never even seem 1-2 pt of diffrence between diffrent pets (cat vs cat) or (bear vs bear)
when you make it your pet... it's just a bear... no name, just a bear
when you make it your pet... it's just a bear... no name, just a bear
And I dunno about the slimes. I don't think you can. I think they're humanoids or elementals or something. I never really paid attention to that. Good question though. Bear in mind even if they are beasts there are some beasts out there that you can't tame.
I have noticed, though, that cat vs bear really makes no difference either. Their defense is close to the same, their dps is close to the same...everything is close ot the same. There *are* differences, but it's all balanced very well. So, as was already stated, just pick what beast you think is koolest, and stick with that.

On the contrary...
Hehe, my Cat had just about the same armor/hp as my equal level bear, however, he attacked much faster - thus he had a higher dps =D
Don't know about you but I relied pretty heavily on my pet. So the harder he hit and the more he can take, the better for me! =D

Like I said, although the stats *will* be different, they will be *balanced*. So, either go out and grab something that you think is kool, or pick a pet that is better at certain things that you like...whichever the case, all pets are good, and none is better than another.
If pet Spiders get a web ability similar to the one that real Spiders get... yeah, I'm sure that'll affect pet choice quite a bit. ;)
I actually compared some notes on pets, and luckily still have them:
21st lvl Bear and Raptor:
Bear:
563 HP
18-25 Damage
991 Armor
Raptor:
495 HP
21-31 Damage
972 Armor
I also had a cat pet, but dumped it as it's stats were lower than either the Bear or Raptor.
One think you have to remember, not all pets can use all attack abilities.
Wolves cannot use Claw
Crabs cannot use Bite
Birds cannot use Claw or Bite that I have seen.
I prefer Bear as it can use all abilities, and is a better meat sheild of the pets I have found that can use all abilities.
Cats can use all abilities also, and though they attack faster, don't hit as hard over all, so I think the damage probably comes out to about the same. Though as cats had lower Armor and HitPoints, I did not use them much as pets.

I had thought about this too and decided to tame a suncale screecher raptor then my bloodtalon taillasher which i started with. At lvl 18 their stats were exactly the same. Both were at lvl 6 on the happiness scale and both had the exact same stats. The only difference in pets that I can think of is minor as far *** what everyone else has shown you. Higher armor/ hp vs higher dps. Possibly at higher lvls they might have a special attack come into play but if it replaces growl then i know i won't utilize it very much because the growl is the staple attack vs mobs. But PvP I would utilize any special attack they get due to the uselessness of growl. But yea find a pet that works for you and that fits with how you want your char percieved and have fun.
I’m looking forward to playing a hunter. In face I expect I’ll play both a dwarf and a tauren hunter before all is said and done. However, I’ve yet to play one past level ten. I do hope that Blizzard, or perhaps the hunter community, will post the differences between different types of animals. The coolness factor will have a major role in the type of pet I choose, but it would also be nice to know which pets are really good at different roles.
A friend played a hunter all during open beta. He’d been using a bear pet but a couple of days before the end of beta he tamed a crocodile. He told me he noticed a significant increase in damage the croc dealt during combat over what his bear did. So it seems there are some differences between animal types.

bear = eat every thing good tank
cat = more dps, hit faster, fish and meat
tutle = tank!!!! only fruit and mushroom... (no fish?)
raptor = nice dps, so so tank... meat
croc = nice damage better tank then raptor
crabs = have high armor but....
ever pet stats are blanced! if it has higer dps then lower armor and hp. higher armor and hp but lower dps.
so it even out. the most impotiont thing about a pet for me was
1) what it eats, i want to have a happy pet thank you.
2) how it looks.
-------
was not high level but i want to get gorlia :D they seem cool
but when i did a scan on them they only eat fruit and shroom... hard to find that kind of food... (compared to other)
over all i found that bats' and birds usless... looks cool but... will pick a bear...

As not having made a Hunter, do you mean that you can heal your pet with the food items that you loot in battle? And what of this happiness factor? Would someone kindly clue me in on this :)
