Ohhh yeah, I did hear about the growl mechanic being broken right now. I thought you meant they were adding some sort of growl effect to the Tallstrider ability

The thing is, it is just their next attack that will be missed, which isn’t a whole lot of damage mitigated, depending on what I’m fighting. If it’s a tallstrider vs. a rogue, one missed hit isn’t going to make a super huge difference for survivability.

I’ll be sure to let you know if I decide to go hunting for a Kurken!

Oh, in beta now growl is kind of broken, it doesn’t work very well. (I missed a word in there, it was supposed to say ‘Once they get the growl mechanic fixed’) As for survivability, if a mob isn’t hitting your pet, your pet isn’t getting hurt! Maybe I’m just way attached to my pretty pink Ella

I’m also quite fond of the Kurken. If you go for one of those invite me with would ya? I’m all for an expedition deep into Draeni territory.

Tigerfeet: I don’t know what you’re talking about… what growl mechanic? And how will it help with survivability?

And yeah, the slow down effect is nice and makes for a decent PvP pet… but remember, I’m not really a big PvPer! I only have 4 stable slots!

The ancient core hounds are cool too, don’t get me wrong… but a three headed dog? Heck yes!

A note on your tallstriders. Once they get the growl mechanic that dust cloud is going to be rather helpful with the pet’s survivability. Grinding with a ferocity pet? absolutely!

For PvP… oooh melee is going to HATE tallstriders

Same with hyenas. Think of WSG and EOTS, it’s one more slow-down effect.
