“Dear BRK, when my pet gets to level 70, will it still accumulate points? I ask this because I have noticed that every time my pet levels he get a few points. But if my pet is 70 I’m thinking he will stop getting points. So I have stop teaching him talents all together till I get to level 70.

“I want my pet to know the following at level 70:

Bite: Rank 9, 29 Points
Claw: Rank 9, 29 Points
Dash: Rank 3, 25 Points
Cobra Reflexes: Rank 1, 15 Points
Natural Armor: Rank 11, 175 Points
Great Stamina: Rank 11, 215 Points

“So that is 488 points. I don’t think that at the rate my pet is getting points I will have 488 points at level 70. Honu.”

Sorry Honu, but you’re way overbudget on your pet points.

Your pet will continue to accumulate points until he reaches level 70 and loyalty rank 6. At this milestone, your pet will have 350 points. That is all he can have and you have to decide what spells your pet can learn and what spells you’re going to have to omit.

A tremendous resource for testing pet-builds is the Visual Pet Training Calculator at Petopia. Hie thee to Mania and her hunter-pet compendium.

And don’t forget that a pet-respec costs but 10 silver for the first redo, 50 silver for the second, and one gold for a third. And this cycle resets every 24 or 48 hours, something like that. Pet respecing is no big deal. The hardest part is remembering to do it.

Last night was Gruul’s Lair and we had to take a few undergeared and inexperienced people. Gruul did not go down but Maulgar did.

And we made a movie. Well, making a movie; it’s still not done. We’re trying to get it done as soon as dwarvenly possible. Please, stand by.
