    He looks a bit smaller. Is he smaller?

    Most righteous ability. I tip my hat to the devs that came up with that one.

    Pretty impractical for the most part I would think with add potential, but probably enough off target threat if you had a bunch to be able to toss a mend pet (and in my case a GotNwtfbbq) without getting beat on by mobs the rhino hadn’t gotten to yet.

    Mostly the ability is just amusing to watch and I can’t imagine how much that would piss off an arena team.

    I say again, most righteous.

    what we want to see is that being used with disengage. do you get 30 feet between you and the target?

    Yeah, Stampede + Disengage sounds like a pretty nice combination there. I was hoping that Rhinos would have an AOE stun or an AOE knockback — seems like some sort of trampling/stampeding move would be best for them — so it’s great to see Stampede as the ability! It will be interesting to see if they tweak it after the latest batch of hunter testing happens.

    Just watched the video again and noticed that it says enemies within 10 yards… did you try this on a group?

    Can’t wait to hang out at Lumber Mill now :-)

    wow, in pvp this is going to OP. If a hunter has a rhino now, there is basically no way for a melee class to hurt us. I’m thinking hunter +rhino = rogues are cake.

    @Jester
    I compared the two Rhino movies and it does NOT look like it got shrunk at all so we’re safe.

    I was getting a bit depressed with the various news about my warlock but when I come here I’m all cheery again. YAY!!! for getting at least one toon that will be fun.

    How could you NOT try this onna army of mobs? Screw the now infamous Bad Attitude SM video… Rhino knocking a score of scarlet wussies into the air?

    YouTube gold, baby… Youtube gold…

    Seriously, I lollered out loud when I saw that clefthoof take to the air like that. Absolutely hilarious… Only thing that’d been better is if the rhino would have had charge talented on it (if blizzard actually gave tenacity pets charge like they said they would). Like, CHAAAARGE! *BOINK* (50 tonne clefthoof goes flying…)

    Freaking, bloody awesome!

  11. Sarai on August 30th, 2008 9:41 am

    I think I love my rhino even more now, can’t wait to try this out.
    BRK, your rhino needs a name :(

  12. aaranay on August 30th, 2008 9:50 am

    mmm arena….

    i see melee dps being knocked oor of heals….

    i see healers being knocked behind pillars for los issues…

    i wonder if this works on totems, too. would be interesting to see some carefully planned totems sent scattered haha

    BRK, your rhino needs a name

    Not gonna happen. When the beta goes away, he goes away. I won’t make such an emotional attachment as regards to naming him.

    He is “Rhino”.

    I second (third?) the call for a Disengage-Stampede combo. I can’t wait to try a Disengage-Stampede-midair concussive shot combo on rogues and warriors.

  15. Sid on August 30th, 2008 10:27 pm

    Wow, loving the rhino more and more. I request a video of the stampede on multiple mobs, if possible.

  16. Aylfric on August 31st, 2008 2:59 pm

    Have you thought of getting several monsters attacking the rhino at once and then hitting “Stampede”? I’d kind of expect them to go flying in different directions!

  17. Kemonojin on September 1st, 2008 12:11 pm

    The rhinos do seem to be smaller now… a friend of mine is in the beta and I saw his last night… only slightly taller than his troll.

    Aylfric: Heh! “Strike!”

    @Chesko.

    ..Shadow Step? You knock me back, I Shadow Step to you in the air. Sprint, Vanish, etc, this is basically a scatter shot effects to rogues who can use any number of cooldowns to counter it.

    It just means the rogue has to play slightly smarter, but with the long cooldown you better hope you use it at a good time. :X
