I just wanted to let you know the demon dog (aka BlightHound) from ZulDrak is considered a wolf. And hes much more aesthetically pleasing…..and altho it wont matter to you and I, hes not exotic, so says the Class Leading Survival Hunter of my guild.

Thanks for the great hunter posts!! I love that Im not the only BM left.

Testing with a wolf last night and so far, I’m not seeing the #2 type performance.

However, I am seeing a boost to My DPS that does compensate for the ‘lack’ of damage that the wolf puts out. The bonus AP for 20 of 28 seconds is quite nice… It just doesn’t feel the same.

But I have missed having my wolf. I just need to level him out to 80 again.

Random comment here and I’m a new BM hunter but my wolf was the first pet I tamed and immediately fell in love with it (one of the mangy scrubs outside Stormwind). Everyone was telling me I should get a cat and I kept trying but I just couldn’t get attached to it (didn’t even bother to name it sadly). So this makes me very happy knowing I won’t get laughed at showing up with my fuzzy puppy anywhere.

Damn, convinced myself the other day that I was going to remain faithful to my dear old kitty. Might have to bag myself a puppy as well now and test him out on some dummies or a quick Naxx run…

I got my little wolf Séthi out of the stable this week. He was still 78 (hadn’t have the time to level him and the cat before beginning raiding with the cat…) but he was sooo happy to come in Naxx with me that he was just running mad and jumping at everyone during loot-time and asking for cookies and sneaking some fish from the dish etc… But he did behave very well in every fight, and didn’t die, not even on Heigan ! (we had a great tank !) \o/ Well done mon Titi ! Here’s your mamouth cutters !

And now, he’s 80, and I’m sooo happy to be BM again… Intimidation for the love of my healers !… And second spec is very handy to switch to survival went you just need better traps for kitting Gluth’s adds… Oh yes, I’m a Happy hunter !

And guess what ? Noé, my cat, is just as happy. He’s old… A little rest will do him some good…

I’m trying your 51/15/5 spec at the moment. I didn’t have many fights to test it though, tried it in wipes on Thaddius : no good examples… but on the longer fight, I got the cobra 9 times in a 6minute fight (1/3 point in the talent) and frenzy was up 88% of the time (with 3/5 points). If that helps you… I will finish the week with this spec, and maybe try another one next week. If you want feedback, just ask.

Byebye,
Nef

I always loved the Curator fight. I went on my feral dr00d, so I was on spark duty, and DPS during evocates. Got some nasty shred crits then. ^_^

….and please don’t shoot me for bringing a non-hunter toon into this. <.<

Oh that brings back memories of bad pugs trying to kill Curator.

Also I went out and tamed a little white wolf from Dun Morogh, named him Bigby (which is my favorite character from the comic series Fables) and leveled him to bring along to raids. I remember back on the PTR for 3.0 when the exotics were first introduced I so wanted to tame the Kurken and name it Bigby. But then they shrank corehounds and made them look weird and I didn’t end up taming him when 3.0 went live. This is a nice compromise, though, as I still get to name a pet Bigby and he reminds me of Dun Morogh which is possibly my most favorite starting area ever. (Second place would probably be Mulgore)

@ Rilgon – Haha, you are free to do so =P

@ Kate – Different people have different results. If I recall correctly cats do better when there are other bleed effects on the target as well as their own. And even raptor devotees admit that raptor DPS is somewhat “streaky” since it is dependent on Savage Rend critting, which it doesn’t always do. Do what works for you! *nods*

As for the wolf, that will come soon in a story!
