Your Favorite PetsFollow

I had a windserpent from 46 to 64, he always did a good job delaying a caster's cast time, but he did seems a little too fragile. Lightning breath is cool though, cuz it's fun to watch a scared player try to ride away with yer serpent casting lightning at them. I tamed a raveger the other day, I'm still waiting to see how he does in a BG though.

My great white bat from SFK wins all prizes(in my eyes), and gets attention!

I ran to dreani starting area when i dinged lvl.10 (im a BE and it was a walk) and im currently level 33, and i have to say the ravager iis prob my favorite pet PvE and PvP, great dmg looks badass and im the only one my level ive seen to have one. lowest level ive seen people with ravagers was at like mid 50's. So sweet looking, and also my gf loves her snow lepeord from khranos (she BE aswell). Pets from the opposite faction are nice to have in low levels cuz everyone always comments on em and ask how u got it.

My black & white 2 headed carrion bird ofcourse.
I've had it from lvl 66 and its still the most awesome pet ever.

My two favorite pet families would have to be boars and warpstalkers. Both of these pets are capable of getting to their target very quickly, more so than a pet with dash. And I’ve found I really like that in a pet, more so than I expected. They both have instant attacks which allow them to do more DPS, as my hunters buy skills to regenerate pet focus more quickly. And they both hold up well as tank pets, though I believe the numbers favor the boar more in this area. Thus I have boars and warpstalkers on more than one hunter.

If we just want to talk aesthetics I would have to add some more pets into the mix. I love the combination of my pink tallstrider with my female dwarf. Sweetpea is the reason I’m playing that character. But she doesn’t hold agro as well as Cashara’s green warpstalker. This will be a bit better when Sweetpea gains her last three levels. But I expect that Growf will still be the better choice when holding agro is a major issue, such as soloing the escort quest after the bombing run.

I also really like my albino crocalisk and my black widow spider. But they too suffer from a lack of abilities that make their skill as tanks a bit less effective than some of the other current pets. I hope this will one day change, but after three years I’ve decided to stop holding my breath.

i have a frostsaber for a pet love it cause of the colors and i'm a lvl 68 dwarf hunter its a lvl62 and it pwns lvls 62-66 hardley have to ress it holds agro good,but i just got a battle worg lvl67 and its awesome it is rebelious now and hit points are 207-234 armor is 9150 wait till it gets to be best friend i used it on the orcs and it holds agro like a champ, love the howl, :) wont let it go a freind helped me get it cause i wanted something at my lvl...lilmntn. Aeri Peak

I like turtles...

Seriously though, post above me is my exact sentiments...



Lets not forget Boar is very nice up till 29, but past that Owl is going to get Dive (equivilent of Dash) which I actually prefer, and his base stats IMO are the best out there for general grinding/questing.

You could simply take the time to level a lower boar. The ones in the Blasted Lands look good enough.

If you want a black, not-undead looking one though.. good luck.

As an update to my search for Grunter. I camped out in the Blasted Lands all day yesterday and today, only leaving when I had to sleep. This afternoon I was in my usual spot, using general chat to let the other alliance know not to kill Grunter. I went afk for 5 minutes to grab food, only to come back and find out Grunter had spawned while I was gone and was killed by a Horde player. Needless to say I was mad :S

I may have to just go with the plain old yellow boar, trying to be there to catch a 32-40 hour respawn just might not be possible :(

As someone else said: Ravager = Raiding/5-man

I will disagree on the second part though.

Boar = Farming/Solo No other pet in the game generates as much initial threat as a boar with charge and gore. I didn't care for the undead boar from EPL so I sucked it up and got a brown armored boar from SFK. As I am 65 and it was 25, this will be quite a hike to get it level with me, but I love the look. I named him Cerebus.

Tip: For those of you in your 60s that are dumb enough to tame a low level animal because you like the look (like me), go to Veil Skith just south of Shattrath and farm Skithian Dreadhawks. I suggest the Dreadhawks because they will always fight you from range so you can use your most effective attacks. Since your pet is basically useless and you are very handicapped in melee, staying at range is a must.
