No they arent.
I was surprised myself. A simple buff to the extra damage to the lone wolf talent was what I wanted to make soloing without a pet optional. As of now it is too weak for anything then reassurance for instance playing where others dislike hunter pets. Now I am confused. I need extra range and more effective crowd control abilities to avoid markmanship becoming a melee range spec.
let me guess you keep on getting reported for your pets names.
I like the changes but Iâm afraid the constant flapping noises from the birds are gonna drive some people quite mad.
MAD, I tell you!
No? My pet names have never been reported.
I donât think weâll hear any flapping, the eagle sounds like itâs going to be a spell effect so youâll probably hear âgeneric red tail hawk noiseâ before an eagle descends and swoops in.
As long as they allow changing the Eagle to other creatures, thatâs all I care about. Which they said would be an option in the Hunter Feedback thread.
Granted, I 99% of the time play BM because I love my big, chunky exotic pets, but the few times I run MM in a dungeon or raid Iâm ALWAYS running Lone Wolf because trying to micro-manage a weaker pet that canât survive anything is annoying.
they should be
Okay, well have fun reporting my pet named Lytfang the Lost.
you know that isnât the pet names that are the issue
Well, thatâs the only pet I use right now so I donât get what youâre trying to imply here.
I can see your stable in your armory - you have barely played a year and have spent no time collecting anything.
Maybe because I created this account back in October after coming back to the game from a 10 year hiatus? I really donât understand your agenda here other than generic contrarian Death Knight player.
Dunno. One would hope theyâd realize in advance that repetitive wing flapping noises would be iritating, but then I remember the Pantsogeddon (aka The Snufflepocalypse) when Worgen were released.
Yeah, but in any case the way itâs worded the bird isnât going to be following you around.
Maybe itâll sit on your head like Pepe.
Birb has now become fashion accessory.
I think it will be kinda like current petless Intimidation. When something done by the bird happens, he appears, swoops in, and disappears. There will probably be more variety in how itâs done, though. I imagine it flying in circles when you cast Heroism/Bloodlust, or following your target during Roar of Sacrifice.
Outside such moments, itâs just out of sight.
Luckily the new Intimidation wonât require pet LoS :3
