Just tamed a hyena in Tanaris last night. I think I've finally found the best physically proportioned pet for my Dwarf. Cats were too slim and Ravagers just gave me the willies.
However, since Blizzard, in their infinite wisdom, decided not to add hyenas higher than level 48 or so in the game, I'm now forced to level up this cute little dog. Something I wouldn't mind, if I didn't have to fight mobs that were green to me to give the little bugger experience.
Kiting around level 62's is horribly mana inefficient and being a Beast Master doesn't exactly help since the pet hits for 2-3 damage and has a 90% miss rate. And every kill only moves the experience bar ever so slightly. It's painful to watch.
Not to mention he's still only loyalty level 1 since he needs experience equal to 50% of a level to gain a loyalty level.
And no, I can't just run a dozen instances with my guild. I don't have one and PUGs don't exactly like it when you enter the group with the phrase "Hey, by the way, I'm leveling up my pet..."
Need advice on how to best level it up without suffering from a stroke.
