To date I've run mostly with a cat and more recently with a dragonhawk, but now that I'm leveling again I think it is time for a tenacity pet. I've read a lot about how awesome gorillas are as a tanking pet and was wondering if anyone has any thoughts about rhinos, as I just tamed one.
IMO, rhinos stack up like this:
PROS
- excellent tank - I was able to take on 6+ mobs in the 68-70 range as a lvl 70 hunter with a lvl 68 rhino, something I wasn't able to do with my other pets but this may be normal for a tenacity pet
- has an AoE attack (Stampede)
- not everyone has one
- I just happen to love rhinos IRL
CONS
- I don't think Stampede affects aggro like Thunderstomp
- is an exotic, requiring 51 points in BM talents
- is HUGE compared to the size of my toon - I actually dismissed my pet when I was in an inn or a bank because it took up too much screen space
Does anyone else have any thoughts or experiences?
