@Ego: 2)It took me a while to get used to the look of the warp stalker when I first tamed Willy. But I get so attached to all of my pets – I have come to love his quirkiness!

3) I decided the core hound isn’t really the DPS for me because it’s just too big and bulky, and the casting time debuff isn’t super useful all the time.

5) I’m going to try to get some tries in this weekend with the bear & gorilla test. I’ll get back to you.

6) More mounts! More mounts! Gonna have to see if anyone has figured out a way to do a userandom macro with the new mounting system…

@Rilgon: I installed the PTR on Sunday, but every time I logged in it was just too much for me to handle. It was taking 15 seconds for each talent point to register! I have also been super duper busy, as my lack of posting can attest to! I didn’t play too much today, and I was mostly focussed on watching the pet DPS rather than my hunter’s DPS, and I haven’t really fought anything I could notice it on, so I didn’t really notice a huge DPS nerf. Is it really that significant?

@Brajana: Did you just get on TODAY? How are you reacting to the soul-crushing DPS nerfs?

1) First off, I heard cats were getting a new ability, because the devs realized that the number 1 pet in BC becoming nearly useless in WotLK is just silly. I think the new ability was called Rake, but I haven’t researched it thoroughly.

2) Good to know on the warp stalker. I LOVE the way they look, and their bored animations, but to be honest, I hate they way the look when they RUN. Unfortunately, my pets spend 95% of their time running, so that was a big turnoff for me.

3) What made you decide (specifically) that the core hound was not the dps pet for you? I have a feeling the Kurken will be camped constantly, and although he’s adorable (you know, in that drooly, evil core-hound kinda way) I’m still not sure I will like him, and I’d like to know your thoughts on one.

4) Another vote of love for the moths! That settles it, I’ll definitely have to tame one and see if it works. My hunter’s not really the soft, frilly moth kinda gal, but if it works it works!

5) Definitely update me on gorilla vs bear. (though the bear is technically still a multi-tanker, they just have to be standing in front of him for it to count). I hear the gorilla’s cooldown makes him less viable as a tanking pet than the bear in some cases. Same for the gator’s cooldown (the other aoe tanking pet)

6) I am now even more excited about the achievements stuff! Did you see you can actually get special MOUNTS for certain achievements? I am -so- there.
