The WoW Hunter Pet Guide Part 2

In your quest to find the best WoW Hunter pet you will want to avoid using Caster pets. Caster pet are bad because their stat growth is inferior. Instead of having a pets essential Strength and Stamina stats, Caster pets use the unnecessary High Spirit and Intellect stats. There are a couple of ways to identify a Caster pet. If they have any magical abilities or they have a "Mana Bar" prior to taming them, it is most likely a Caster pet.

Now that you have had a brief overview of the pets available to the WoW Hunter class, let us study the two standard and most popular types of pets, the tank pets or the DPS Pets. In case you want or need your pet to do various things, perhaps the strongest selection for you is to go for the well-rounded pets, which are more generalized in their abilities and functions. Bears and boars are by far the strongest choice for Tanking. As boars and bears are easier to feed, they appear to be mere common Hunter's pets. For Tanking, if you are looking for a pet with great endurance, then choosing a turtle sounds like a good idea.

Cats are thought to be the best overall selection when selecting a Hunters pet for DPS or fighting ability. The reasons why cats make the most powerful and best WoW Hunter's pet is because they can master several powers rather quickly, they are easier to feed and can damage enemies in various and innovative ways. In addition to cats, you could also pick out ravagers, owls, wind serpents and spiders for fighting abilities, although my own personal favorite killing machines are raptors. Raptors will rip the face right off your enemy, chew it up and spit it out. So, if you're feeling especially gory, raptors are the way to go.

Now, talk briefly about a very important subject regarding your World of Warcraft Hunter's pets. What I want to talk about is the maintenance of your pets. Let me start by saying "Pets require a lot of maintenance." It's your job to keep your pet happy and to keep your pet happy you are going to need to keep it well fed, continuously level them up and teach them new skills. Not only will this plan of attack keep your pet happy, but it will also benefit you as well with a well trained and more powerful pet.

WoW Hunter Pet Guide - WoW Hunter's Pets 3 Levels Of Happiness

Unhappy - This is the lowest level of happiness that your pet can be. Unhappy is also how you begin your relationship with your pet after you tame them. While in this state of unhappiness, your pet will only do about 75% of its regular damage as well as lose loyalty. If left in this state for too long, your pet may run away. I know I would! You can tell if your pet is unhappy by the frowning red face next to your pets portrait.

Content - When your pet is content, it will dish out damage at 100% as well as gain loyalty at a slow rate. You can tell if your pet is content by the yellow smiley face next to your pets portrait.

Happy - A happy pet will gladly slaughter your enemy by inflicting 125% damage upon them. Your pet also gains loyalty very quickly while in this happy state. You can tell if your pet is happy by the green smiley face next to your pets portrait. Obviously, this is where we want to keep our pet.

WoW Hunter Pet Guide - WoW Hunter's Pets 6 Levels Of Loyalty

Your pet's Loyalty is a very important stat that affects a couple of other key areas dealing with your World of Warcraft pet. Here are the six levels of loyalty: Rebellious, Unruly, Submissive, Dependable, Faithful and Man's Best Friend. There is no hidden secret here. The longer you keep your pets happy, the more loyal it will become towards your WoW Hunter class character.

The higher your pet is on the loyalty ladder, the less food will be needed to keep your pet happy. This next bit of information is important so please pay attention. Each and every new loyalty level increase made by your pets results in points being given to you so you can train your WoW Hunter pets. Conversely, it all works in reverse too. For instance, if you fail to keep your pet happy, it will lose loyalty. If you are constantly getting your pet killed or failing to feed it properly, there is a chance your pet may run away.

WoW Hunter Pet Guide - About Feeding Your WoW Hunter's Pets

In order to increase your pets happiness, it will take more than just feeding it. You will need to feed it something it enjoys eating. To see what your pet prefers to eat, click on your profile to open it up then click on your pet tab and locate the green smiley icon with your mouse pointer. Now that you know what your WoW Hunter's pet likes to eat, make sure you feed it enough to keep it happy and loyal. Each time your pet levels, his preferred diet will increase, and if you continue to feed him the amount he was eating prior to leveling up, he will gain happiness at a much slower rate, while feeding your pet the correct amount will allow it to acquire a great amount of happiness. So, make it a habit to click on your pet's tab often.

WoW Hunter Pet Guide - How To Feed Your WoW Hunter's Pets

1. Click on the "Feed Pet" Icon.
2. Click on the food you wish to feed your pet.
3. Allow your pet enough time to eat the food (about 10 seconds).

If you do not allow your pet ample time to finish its food prior to clicking on the "Feed Pet" icon again will only waste the food you previously fed it. All of the happiness left on the previous piece of food will be lost.

WoW Hunter Pet Guide - Training Your WoW Hunter's Pets

In the World of Warcraft there are a couple of ways available for you to feed your pet. One way is by taking your pet over to a "Pet Trainer". You can find the Pet Trainer over by your Hunter's Class Trainer. The name Pet Trainer is somewhat of a misnomer. The Pet Trainer will teach you new skills and abilities on how to buff up your WoW Hunter's pet with Health, Armor and/or Attack skills. These skills and abilities are put into your spell book, not on the pet. If you ever change pets, you won't have to locate the Pet Trainer when your new pet is able to use the skills and abilities.

The other way for you to learn additional pet skills and abilities is by taming wild animals. For your Hunter to learn the pet abilities "Prowl" and "Claw", he would have to tame a wild cat. By taming a wild bear, your Wow Hunter would be able to learn the pet ability "Claw". Not every cat will know the Prowl skill and not every bear will know the Claw skill. There are different types of cats like there are different kinds of bears. Specific wild animals will know specific skills and abilities as well as higher levels of the different skills and abilities.

A good rule of thumb to follow here is: The tougher the wild animal, the tougher the skills or abilities you can learn from it. If you do tame a wild animal with a skill or ability that you want to learn, it will not come to you automatically. For you to learn the Prowl skill from a cat you just tamed, you will first need to ascertain if the cat has the skill and if it does, you must use the cat and his Prowl skill as often as possible in battle. When you have finally learned the skill or ability, a message will pop-up on the screen stating "You have learned the Prowl skill". Now that you have learned the Prowl ability, you no longer need of that particular cat to use it. You can now use it on any tamed Hunter's pet you want.

WoW Hunter Pet Guide - Training Your WoW Hunter's Pet

Now that you have learned some skills and abilities from taming wild animals or the Pet Trainer it's time to teach them to your favorite pet. If you don't already have him out, take the pet you want to train out of your stable of pets. Now open up your spell book and click on the general tab where you will open up your Beast Training ability. There you will find out how many training points you have available along with all of the WoW Hunter pet abilities and skills you have learned. The training points are used for purchasing new abilities and skills. These are the training points you get as bonuses when your loyalty goes up. So, make sure your pets are very happy so your loyalty goes up and you get training points to use. Easy, isn't it?

Next, you'll want to choose a skill or ability you want your pet to learn along with the rank of that skill or ability. Remember, not all pets can learn every skill or ability. For instance, while all bears can learn Claw, boars can't. Also, higher rank skills and abilities cost more points and if you teach your pet a skill or ability with a high rank, you won't be able to teach it any of the lower ranks of the same skill or ability. Sometimes, a lower ranked skill will be all your Hunter's pet needs to get the job done. That's all there is to it. For many Hunter's, the fun part is planning on what skills and abilities will be needed to make the ultimate super pet, then going out and taming the beasties who have the skills and abilities on my list, then putting my super-pet together and see how it performs.

People often ask me which World of Warcraft Hunter's pet is my favorite. As for myself, I like the wolf for both its brilliant looks as well as its blood-curdling song. The assortment of attack speeds this awesome pet has will come in handy as well. With the many options available to you, it certainly makes your research a whole lot easier when you consider the two aspects of how easy is it to maintain and feed your pets. Here are some of the questions you should get answers to prior to beginning your career as a World of Warcraft Hunter. How expensive are the pets foods, how easy is it to procure your pets foods and what sort of food habits do these pets have or do they live on special diet regimens. For basic level huntsmen, spending too much cash on pet food fails to make any sense. The other things to think about are what sort of work you have to put in to increase the pet's performance and to bring it even with your own level advancements. This can play a key role in your decision to choose a particular kind of pet.

What do you think of this deck recipe Natsuo Tanaka gave me in Yu-Gi-Oh: Spirit Caller?

He said its a N.I.N.J.A deck...wow. And its got 5% next to its name, not sure what that means, but whatever. Probably means it sucks. But I was wondering on what your opinion of it is.

Cards: 40

Monsters:
Gazelle The King Of Mythical Beasts x2
Killer Needle
Silver Fang x2
Typhone
Wolf x2
Armed Ninja x3
Crimson Ninja x3
Nimble Momonga x2
Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke x2
Strike Ninja x2

Spells:
A Feather Of The Phoenix
Enchanted Arrow
Fairy Meteor Crush x2
Fengsheng Mirror (this is Spirit Caller were talking about, thats why this is here)
Flash Of The Forbidden Spell
Fuhma Shuriken x2
Goblin Thief
Ground Collapse
Heart Of Clear Water
Necklace Of Command
Reload
Soal Reversal

Traps:
Appropriate
Ninjitsu Art Of Decoy x2
Ninjitsu Art Of Transformation x2
Rope Of Life

...and that's it. What do you think of the deck? If you're not sure what some cards are, just type it in to Google Image or whatever.

Thanks in advance!

Most of the monsters in that deck that someone recommended are out of place. Killer needle? Its a Non-effect monster (Normal monster) what good would it do in a deck when its obviously poorly placed (An insect monster with 1200 ATK/1000 DEF won't even stand a chance in Attack or defense. Get rid of it.) Gazelle, king of mythical beasts? Must go. Silver Fang and Wolf are about as useful as the Killer needle. By the way, 5% next to somebodies name isn't the best answer, but its better than 0%

Perhaps try this one out? (Another Ninja Deck, but more... themed and effective)

Monsters

* Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke
* Strike Ninja
* Lady Ninja Yae
* Goe Goe the Gallant Ninja
* White Ninja
* Marauding Captain
* Command Knight
* A Cat of Ill Omen
* Mask of Darkness
* Brain Crusher
* Storm Shooter
* Grasschopper
* Saber Beetle
* Ultimate Insect LV7 (effect won't activate, good for attack strength. May make a good combo to get Ultimate Insect LV5 out during opponent's turn first with Ninjitsu Art of Transformation)
* Roc from the Valley of Haze(Works very well with Lady Ninja Yae)
* Any DARK or WIND monsters.
* Any Insects, Winged Beasts, or Beasts equal to or less than Level 7.

Spells

* Fuhma Shuriken X2
* Reinforcement of the Army
* The Warrior Returning Alive
* Fusion Sword Murasame Blade X2

Traps

* Ninjitsu Art of Decoy X2
* Ninjitsu Art of Transformation X2
* Spirit Barrier X2 (In combo with Ninja Art of Decoy)
* Return from the Different Dimension(Only if high level monsters are exclusively DARK)

I personally prefer DM's, although, DM's do struggle against Meta decks... Sigh.

WoW Cataclysm - Karoma the spirit wolf

Level Shaman

Leveling a shaman is a great experience. Early on shamans don't kill that well but you will quickly find yourself gaining many abilities that more than make up for this. Ancestrall Recall gives you an additional hearthstone to get around quickly. If you happen to die you will get reincarnation which allows you to revive without running back to your corpse. Besides that you can also rely on your Ghost Wolf Form to allow you to move around quickly.

This isn't all as at the higher tiers you will get a couple other skills which make you incredibly strong in solo play. One of these is heroism/bloodlust (depending on your faction) which gives you a massive melee and casting speed buff for 45 seconds. On top of this you get a fire and earth elemental which you can summon through the respective totems to wreck havoc on your enemies.

If you're more interested in finding some top-notch guides for increasing your Shaman's productivity in game I suggest you have a look at my Best WoW Guide Page. On that page you will find all you need in regards to guides to World of Warcraft from gold to leveling and professions to PvP.

Anyway let's get into the talent trees. First of all the restoration tree should be avoided at all costs as it provides no bonuses to damage which is key for leveling. For dungeon crawlers you may wish to go restoration as it helps your healing, but you could easily queue up for instances as DPS and enjoy leveling fast solo while dealing damage in groups. Right, now to get into both enhancement and elemental. I highly recommend staying away from elemental till at least level 60. Unfortunately Blizzard didn't make items for non clother-wearers very plentiful if you're a caster making it hard to have good enough gear to not make your leveling a drag as elemental.

And this brings us to my specialization of choice for shaman leveling: Enhancement.

Enhancement shamans are melee/caster hybrids with a higher tendancy to melee damage, especially until the higher levels. This is a good build to go for:

Click here for the shaman talent build

One thing to mention is that your melee damage is pretty poor at the lower levels. Because of this I recommend you specialize in the elemental tree first until around level 20. Fortunately these levels will fly by after which you can respect to enhancement to get Shamanistic Focus, which allows you to use your shock spells more freely without burning mana.

If you peak through the enhancement tree above you will see that after level 20 is where you start getting the good stuff. This already starts in the next talent row as you can pick up flurry to deal even more melee damage. At level 30, once you get windfury weapon, you will really start appreciating flurry. The next 2 tiers provide 4 more excellent talents to increasing your leveling be it by reducing incoming damage by parries or increasing your own damage.

But then you hit level 40, and this is where enhancement COMES TOGETHER. You will finally be able to dual wield and pick up storm strike at 41. This is where you will find your damage improving by ridiculous amounts and you will really get a feel of how your enhancement shaman is supposed to be played.

Deeper down you will find more great talents. Such as improved stormstrike to keep your mana up and lava lash to give you yet another attack. Then you can pick up shamanistic rage to temporarily reduce damage taken, while having your melee attacks restore mana.

Now you finally approach the wonderful Maelstrom Weapon talent which will truly turn you into a melee-caster specialization. It allows you to cast lightning bolts without losing any auto attack damage. Not only will this increase your leveling speed it also makes your shaman a lot more dynamic in regards to playstyle. Lastly you will get your feral spirits. Besides having abilities such as stuns and taunts they deal a good amount of damage which is converted into a heal for yourself. These little wolves allow you to solo nearly any group quest. Especially once combined with heroism and you elemental totems gained at the higher levels.

After you get all this you can move back to the elemental tree and pick up some nifty goodies there, such as increased spell damage or the always lovely Elemental Devastation which increases your melee crit by a whopping 9% whenever one of your spells crits.

Shamans may not start out as great levelers but later on they are arguably the best. Thanks to the bursty effects like windfury weapon, earth shock and lightning bolt you will not only burn through monsters, you will also play one of the more interesting classes, as you always have to pay attention to maelstrom weapon to use up the charges as soon as possible.

If you're totally entranced by this guide in regards to leveling your shaman, as I was when I leveled my shaman, you may want to have a look at my Dugi's Guide Review. This review will give you an idea of what to expect from this leveling guide.
