Has there ever been any discussion on spider pets?
i mean they have some really cool skins and the ones from Bloodmyst are just awsome. but they have no abilities at all save Bite. which seems a little lazy on Blizz's part. i can think of a dozen other things they could add to spiders.
every other class of pet gets several abilities and a class ability thats pretty unique.
they could easily add things like a Jump ability to close the gap. although it would be better as an attack not just a speed buff. as im pretty sure that any spiders that actually do jump. only do it to attack. but what do i know. i dont study spiders, >.<
or poison like a scorpid or serpent. i mean whats the point of the black widow spider if you dont have a poison?
or what about a web spit or some thing of the like. thats the default spider ability in every single game that have spiders. pvp would be changed indeed if spiders had a immobilize, and it would make them the pet of choice for MM hunters who have pet agro problems. a web slow or even a -haste web attack would also be with in reason for spiders.
hell i even see spiders in some settings be pretty damn stealthy. . . but cats already have that.
or maybe an ability that involve spiders being so damn creepy that they debuff the target with spookyness . . whatever.
i dont know. it just seems like a waste to even have them as a pet, and to consider pets standardized when spiders cant even DO anything.
comments? ideas? flames? if there is already a post on this ill be happy to take the discussion there, but im pretty infrequent as my hunter is my alt. and i didnt see any posts about spiders.
