Hey all, I just started a Hunter yesterday, and I really wish I would have rolled one a long time ago now. Anyways, I have read through the stickies and been to Petopia, and the WoW board, and still have a few questions even after sifting through several posts here. Maybe I missed it or it is so obvious to hunters that it never comes up (Main is a warrior). Here are a few:
- To train and learn new skills, do I have to tame an animal at each level of each skill? That is, do I have to tame a low level bat or something to learn Screech 1, and then a different, higher level bat to learn Screech 2, and so on? Or when I learn Screech at any rank, will I know all ranks from there on out as long as I (my pet actually I suppose), am at the appropriate level and the pet is the right family to learn the skill? Screech is just an example also, this would go for any of these abilities.
- How many pets max can I have stabled? Is it 2 or 3, or as many stable masters as I want to visit in each town? I imagine the stables are linked like banks and mailboxes, but I haven't tried it out yet and won't be able to until I get home from work.
- Are there any 'better' pets anymore, i.e. rare spawns, etc? All the pet information I have been able to pull up seems to show that there is no difference in any family of pets now except for looks. Like Humar or Broken Tooth would be the same (ability and DPS, atk speed-wise) as having the low level cat I tamed on Sunstrider Isle. All the info on the stickies is over a year old now, so I'm sure this has changed with the expansion. I do understand that different pet types have different abilities they can learn and not learn.
Hopefully these questions aren't too standard, but from sifting through all the posts here, I haven't seen them specifically addressed. Thanks.
