I Hate Boars...Follow

Are you a hunter? I take it from your post that you are on the recieving end of the Boar train. The reason we "suggest" boars is for the fact that pre-30 (give or take) they are the only pet with a movement speed increase, they have awesome threat on single targets, and they are quite tough.

So for a low level hunter grinding exp one thing at a time, they are the obvious choice. For a lower level hunter looking for some PvP action they are very attractive for what they bring to the table. Charge.

I do agree though, I PvP with a twink level 29 druid and lock, and I HATE seeing a hunter sending his boar at me. I do feel your pain, but at the same time it makes me proud when I get my *** handed to me by a well played hunter.

i don't really like boars either there not that strong there ugly the only thing i think there good for is meat (no offense to anyone who has a boar pet)

Not to nitpick, but....



What exactly do you mean by "not that strong"? It is a general fact that the boar is the best single target tank pet there is, period. If you are talking about DPS, then you may have a point. They do have a reduced damage output, but with gore and bite you will hardly notice it.

Yes that is also the curse of using boars in 5man content. They are notorious for breaking CC. Next time you are soloing let something hit you then freeze it close to where you are shooting from and your pig will ,at some point, leave the target he is on and charge what you froze, then head back to the original. You can see where this can get dangerous.

Just disable Charge in instances, and it's fine. You don't need to level a separate pet for instances. At seventy, though, a boar will be lackluster in the DPS department in instances.

When I see boars, I think of the whole roasted boar I ate this summer. Me and a few friends got ahold of one, and spent 29 hours in total cooking it. Six liters of Wine went into the marinade/baste, and we had to use a syringe to inject it into the meaty parts of it. All kinds of lovely spices and herbs in the marinade also helps.

The real trick though, is to roast it slowly. Start early, and keep the roller high above the coals. Keep turning it once every ten minutes, and over the course of 12-14 hours, you drop it lower and lower towards the fire. Always baste the thing when you turn it.

When it is done, you will be in heaven. Boar has an absolutely fabulous taste, which pigs just don't get close to.

So, every time I see that butt wiggle, I start drooling. Keep those pets away from me, or me and Humar will have a campfire going before you can say "boarchops".

Boars are made for eating . . . and thats just what i'll do!

what are you talkin about...lol
i love my boar..esp. in arena's..
that 1 sec stun is annoying for casters..
and you can kite a bit better wit your boar chargin ur enemy..
but i dont see hunter usin them in arenas..its mostly that ugly scorpid.. :p

You missed me :)

Don't worry, I'm feral. I won't run away from you like a scared kitten. On the contrary, I'll eat your kneecaps :D

I like Boars, when it charges and starts with 4k threat. The cat I can barely just auto-shoot and stay under pet's threat.
