ok we all know now the patch has been out for a while so heres what an expierenced hunter has to say. i agree with u mostly but lets get rid of the tossup colum. bears are definete winners, there werent many bears before and now they are running all over, swipe is great, chimera-no slowing affect now=loser, nether ray- as u said dont really need anti warlock and with no other affect its a loser, rhino-fun to have, like the bowling vid but no real uses other than fun so its a loser, scorpid-i did some math and if it has all 5 stacks active it will be the second most top dps pet in wotlk, based soley on family skill only in 1min time (this info is from wonderful petopia) this guy is a clear cut winner, tallstrider-it barely made it im still on the edge, but this is very helpful when u have a struggling tank so i think it just squekes into the winner colum not the greatest pet by far but i think the win colum isent for best, its for best improved with wotlk, warp stalker-really is it that hard to chase down a mage if our pet cant handle it we can always pull out a few instant shots and put it into the ground, and it doesent tank that great compared to other pets, sorry but this guy is a loser, windserpent-decent pet but it doesent dps like it used to so u can throw him out hes a loser, wolf-it pulls some good dps numbers i would say in dps terms it ranks around 6 or 7 but the buff has made it more useful than i thought it would be so put this guy in the winner colum, worm-god i love this guy, the armor is great because it stacks and so does the damage, if i remember right the same study i mentioned with the scorpid, based on family skill only damage over 1 min i belive this guy is now king. and now that thats over i have a few changes, 1st the crab-the 4second stun is great in pvp for getting rid of melee classes and combined with a short cooldown this guy should be in the win colum, 2nd is cats, now the cat is definately not the king of the win colum like the worm but prowl is useful in alot of pve soling situations as well as in pvp, cat was the king in bc so u cant expect him to have a big increase in stats with wotlk so cat should be moved into the win colum, if it required 5 of 10 points to get in the win colum cat would get 6 and stay in their, rake is good enough to let them get over the hump, ok and now for changes to win colum, i tried the crocolisk and found that its not that great, it could be vary debateable but i think it should be in loser, second is the sporebat it is very improved but with the worms much better armor reduction it renders it almost useless again, sad i was hoping it could be a little better, this was a great post brk im surprised u were able to predict what u could with all the fill in numbers blizz had just placed for pet abilities and such but its now clear to me, hopeu like this it took me a while to type, btw my real name isent blank

Personally I enjoy Wolves, the furious howl extends out far enough that it covers ranged dps as well as melee. It buffs you,the pet, and everyone else and their pets. Plus there are many wolf skins to choose from so your not running around with the same Tardosaur that everyother noob has.

I know this info in this article is old but i wonder: Lets say that you have 80 boar whit higtest rank of Gore, what makes 122 to 164 dmg and causes double damage if used within 6 sec of a Charge. So if we get lucky:
164 x 2 = 328 + 25 % AP from Charge and it will make.. 1312 damage?! Oh dear that is.. Heavy. Hmm.. what u say? Is my calculation right? o__O

I hope that you will make Boar movie someday if you arent too busy of course. :3

Peace (and hug)

What about MC core hounds? I haven’t heard anything about them and I know you can tame them in expansion.
