I've been trying to avoid going for an all-out DPS pet for my ferocity pet, mostly because I want to find something just a little more useful. You can always do more damage, but messing with enemies is fun. I generally solo, if thats any consideration.
Anyway, I've been torn on what to aim for. So far I have a carrion bird which I love, very much. I seem to be able to use mend pet without pulling agro, at least for the moment, while it's using screech. Not to mention it drops the enemies dps a lot more than I thought it would, so...bonus.
I have been wondering though, if anybody has tried the new wolves out. Wolves are my favorite animal in real life, so I wanted to use them. But I never liked them pre-WoTLK so I was wondering how the new howl works out. It definately looks a lot stronger, but how much DPS boost does it really do?
The other one I was considering was, at higher level, picking up a wasp. The thought of it dropping 1000+ armor off the enemy seemed pretty appealing also.
And of course, despite all that, I was looking at Devilsaur for it's stacking self-dps buff. You know, just to see the Ferocity pet with the (seemingly) best ability to do more and more damage.
Any opinions on this? I do hope this is different enough from your standard "wat pet iz bestest" threads for your tastes.
