We’d Like 1045 Points, Really

BRK » 16 October 2007 » In Pets »

“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.

    @Honu: As BRK said, it’s pretty inexpensive re-talenting pets. I wish our own talents would “reset” in cost to the first 1g every day or two!

    @BRK:
    1) You’re a liar! But since you’re a dwarf, I came and checked your blog anyway so I caught you posting! :)

    2) Do you happen to know what happened to the Rep Calculator? Seems to be down for a few days, is it gone or just some temporary issue? (Maybe you can know that from your connections network!)

    Hey, you better post that video on Google so that I can watch it here at work!

    The few most commonly heard phrases in Gruuls:

    1) Get out of the cave in!
    2) I just popped last stand!
    3) Get out of the middle!
    4) Heal yourself!
    5) OT is dead. Rogues, get ready to die.

    @Honu
    u found BRK’s blog so now just look at the “BRK”s Hunter Training List - If You Read Nothing Else, Read These” links on the right.
    Start going through those cause ur pet training points r going be wasted relearning what u could have learned here.

    2ndworst… Yes, I forgot about that one! Nothing worse than avoiding a ground slam only to have some other player get all up in your space.

    Can I get some Caution Tape or something? ‘Cause this is MY area.

    Ah… yes, my BRK fix of the day!

    This is the non-flash one, and this is it with my style sheet instead of petopia’s. ~Brandstone

    Not at all related - and I just left the same comment on the “What BRK is excited about in the Patch” but sometime (relatively) soon we’re gonna be a whole new beast (pun intended) in PvP……ENJOY THE GOOD NEWS!!!!

    Well I’m sure most of you have heard by now but they are doing away with the hunter’s dead zone. So it’ll now be a direct transition from ranged to melee.

    NOW:

    |–M-|—DZ—|——Range——–|

    After Elimination of the dead zone:

    |–M-|———–Range————|

    Pretty damn sweet for hunters in arena and for some close quarter fighting or near stairs/corners/etc.

    Hey BRK,

    Can you link to a bigger picture of the Holy Grail icon? It’s too small to reafd and I bet it’s funny!

    thx
