Thanks. And I wish I was actually in right now. All night has been a torture with the Beta having log in problems and no servers and unexpected errors. :'(

Edit: Scratch that, Im in.

Various information I've found for now:
-as BM, it seems all pet abilities(minus bite/smack/claw) are reduced by the Beast Mastery passive. Don't know if this is true on live or not, but for instance, Cower is a 31.5 second CD, Dash is a 21.4 second CD(with 16 second duration!), Growl is a 5.6 second CD, etc
-seems some basic pet skills/passives are in

Cunning:
Bullheaded
Dash
Roar of Sacrifice
Boar's Speed
Cornered

Ferocity:
Dash
Heart of the Phoenix
Rabid
Spiked Collar

Tenacity:
Charge
Last Stand
Thunderstomp
Great Stamina
Blood of the Rhino

I just got into beta! So I will be able to do a ton of testing, taking notes, leveling, and such. Hopefully will see a lot more in-depth information coming once I'm all set up.

Also, I know its been said a lot in here, but ask any and all questions you have. I will try my best to answer them.

Hey, can you tell me if it's possible to respec a spirit beast to cunning, and have both the heal and roar of sacrifice?

Atm, you can't respec pets. The pet stuff is still pretty early in development.

I had pet skills already last week, basics and specials like roar of sacrifice or bullheaded, but after some time these abilities were gone. They just disappeared, don't know what caused that... maybe pet death, or relog or dismiss, I don't know.

Taming a new monkey brought roar of sac back, but it disappeared again after some time...
Just test it if they changed anything and it's persistent now...

Hm, seems my Heart of the Phoenix disappeared sometime. Guess not much new then!

I just hit 87 myself, and yeah, it's terrible in its current state. It's just Call Beast x4, although it seemed like the pets do a Claw attack at the start. I'll check it again in 10 minutes.

You can cast it while moving by default though.

Could you please make a video on the dummies without the hunter attacking so we can see the relative damage of the pets? And also could you try kill command during stampede?

Wow I pretty much expected this fail from Blizzard, 10 second CD but the pets spawn where the hunter is (even behind the hunter looking at the video) and they spend most of the 10 seconds running to the target. We got Camouflage for lvl85 ability, and we get this shit for our lvl87, seriously disappointed in its current state. Obviously all the lore and pet taming hunters are happy with anything I guess. But for raiders, this ability in its current state is total and absolute shite.

welcome to the beta?

Stampede is a skill very recently in the beta, of course if buggy atm.

Yea and I'm referring to the current beta ability's state. Thanks Mr.Obvious

Here's what I got for now (super tired =X). Log starts from pets spawning and goes till first melee/special attack.



Some things to note:
- They all have and use (separately) their normal pet abilities like Dash, Rabid, and Growl.
- Each one of them gives Spirit Bond and the heals do stack. 23k+ healing every two seconds @ 157k HP.
- Two second melee swing timer and three second cooldown on Claw.
- NOT affected by Bestial Wrath, nor do they use Kill Command.
- Takes the pets about two seconds to reach the target from 15 yards away. Having prowl turned on for any of your cats will waste a lot of time. Took five seconds (!!!) for the pets to reach the dummy during one use.

Could any test how exotic pets works with stampede when in non-BM spec?

[Puerto]

Just got into beta on my hunter.. Woot!

Only got to do a little testing this morning as survival. Did have the T13 2 piece equipped so these results are probably skewed for what our rotation may feel like in Panda at 90. But I like it so far. The only suggestion I would make would be to add the giving of focus to Black Arrow like what cobra shot does instead of it costing mana. This would make sense in our rotation.

Kripparrian's MoP video going over the spells & changes. Worth a look perhaps.

GC just said this about Black Arrow-

We agree with you that the redesigned Black Arrow hasn't worked out well yet, and even overlaps a little with the new Powershot talent. We are likely to revert Black Arrow to the 4.3 design.

I read GC's post and started singing Hallelujah in my head.

That's what we're talking about!
