So I've finally made a 2nd character (first being a demo lock, which is now level 70). I've read/skimmed through the FAQ sticky and looked at some of it's resource sites, but wanted to ask a few questions.
The FAQ doesn't exactly say the max number of pets, but I think it's 3. One with you and 2 spots buyable at the stable master.
I also read that it's recommended to have 1 pet for DPS and 1 for tanking. The 3rd I'm assuming could be anything else you want. Looks, different DPS or tank pet or laughs.
Reading through the Petopia site, I've wanted to ask about some pets and opinions on them. Yes, I know pets are really a preference thing, but since my hunter just hit level 10, I'm interested to know which pets I've thought about getting would be worth having.
Spiders - Petopia says they don't have anything special, as far as skills. Personally I'd think they would be able to poison, since mob spiders seem to poison my lock and/or his summoned pet, when hit. However, I don't see it listed as skill they can get, on Petopia. Even if they can't get any poison skill, how are spiders for a pet?
Turtles - Do these make good tanks? I'd imagine they'd have the highest defense of just about any pet, but correct me if I'm wrong. Worth getting?
Other pets I've thought of getting are Gorillas and Warp Stalkers. How good are they for a pet?
I'm sorry to ask these, as I'm sure people ask these types of questions all the time. The hunters on the server I play on all seem to use cats or wolves. Occasionally I see a Warp Stalker or Gorilla. I've never seen a spider, turtle or almost anything else used as pets.
