Cataclysm Exotic Pets

[BM-Hunter]

Ello all.

as some of you may know, there had been a few new pet families in cataclysm, but only one new exotic family (Shale Spider), and with its BoK buff...its Tenacity. I'm just wondering if they'll release some new exotic Cunning and Ferocity pets...here's an idea.

Diemetradon- Ferocity Exotic
Goring Bite- The diemetradon gores the enemy with its teeth, increasing physical damage done to the target by 4%
Jurassic Fury- The diemetradon roars, increasing Strength, Agility, Intellect, and Stamina by 5%

Pterrodax- Cunning Exotic
Aerial Strike- The pterrodax claws the enemy from above, reducing all healing done to the target by 10%
Furious Shriek- The pterrodax emits an ear-splitting shriek, reducing the physical damage caused by all enemies within 8 yards by 10% for 10 sec.

What do you guys think?

Edited: Gave up on finding pet abilities that aren't implemented with other families.

I don't think they should give BM the marks and survival buffs tbh.

If dragons could be exotic pet I would so roll an Hunter and and zerg the world of azeroth..muhahaha

i'd then tame Deathwing and own you and your dragon. mwahahahaha

OP: We already have access to two dinosaur pets (raptor/devilsaur) so I would prefer something a bit more unique... Zevras(sp?), giraffes, hippogryphs, talbuks, basilisks.. There are a ton of unused family types already in the game that would make nice additions to the stable ^^

I think the problem they are facing now is that all of the buffs/debuffs are pretty much covered at this point by 1-3 pets already, so adding more would mean either additional redundancies or creating new pet-only buffs/debuffs which kinda goes against the whole feeling I'm getting from them on their balance philosophy.

They should let us tame Deathwing temporarily if only to make up for that time when Warlocks could enslave Brutallus and slaughter everyone.

Those were good times.

the number of families are fine for me what we need are some more unique skin, like armored pet; the boar from razorfen or the wolf from the hellfire dungeons are good exemple they give me a real war like feeling.

have you noticed how many damn insect, bird and canine families there are?

i like the diemetradon idea, but i would replace its physical damage buff for something else, seems a bit OP.

Fury Warriors and Assassination rogues also have this debuff.

Gryphons for Cunning, and Wyverns for Ferocity, and let us mount them at 150% speed!

That way Hunters would finally get their own mount which they deserve as the masters of beasts, and the two cool beasts as pets.

Won't happen. Hunters are the only class that can tame their desired pets... they won't ever give a class mount to us. Paladins were Knights... that's why they got the horse - Warlocks could summon demons, that's why their mount is demon related.

Hunters can move and shoot their bow at the same time, we have a run speed increase buff, AND we get a pet that does damage and buffs... there's no way we'd EVER get mount like that at a run speed that's faster than everyone else's.

another probable candidate for exotic ferocity pet are hydras...have you seen how many different skins they have? they'd make an excellent addition to the roster.

and a possible substitution for the pterrodax could be a family composed of hippogryphs, gryphons, and wyverns....perhaps called like Aerial Beasts or something.

HELL YES! hydras would be so kickass to have as pets!

that ability is also already on a pet in the form of a Ravager:
Ravage

but combining that with the kings buff from another exotic pet is a bit of overkill.

I like the idea of a basilisk giving the Arcane Intellect +Mana buff perhaps. How about one out of left field, change the phoenix npcs found in Magister's Terrace and The Eye to beasts and give them +8% Spell Damage and Battle Rez. Blizz have already allowed another extremely powerful ability be given to a pet in the form of Houndlust so why not? It would share a raid wide cooldown with druid's battle rez like normal but would allow a druidless raid to still have access to the ability.

Gryphons, Hypogryphs and the like could be lumped together with say +6% spellpower and Innervate?

c'mon blizz push the boundaries!

a good pet idea:
Hydra:
Triple Thrash- The hydra thrashes the target with all its heads, increasing physical damage done to the target by 4% for 25 secs.
-or-
Tears at the enemy's armor with all three heads, reducing it by 4%. Stacks up to 3 times. Lasts 30 sec.

Primordial Rage- Induces a friendly unit into a killing frenzy for 30 sec. The target is Enraged, which increases their melee and ranged haste by 20%, but causes them to lose health equal to 2% of their maximum health every 3 sec.

[Kalti]

at a run speed that's faster than everyone else's.

Pretty sure he was talking about flight speed.

[BM-Hunter]

Alright: Final revamp of the two new exotics.

Hydra
Bite- Bite the enemy, causing [186 + (RAP * 0.40) *0.20] damage.
Triple Thrash- The hydra strikes the target with all three heads, increasing physical damage taken by 4%
Primordial Rage- Induces a friendly unit into a killing frenzy for 30 sec. The target is Enraged, which increases their melee and ranged haste by 20%, but causes them to lose health equal to 2% of their maximum health every 3 sec.

Aerial Beast
Claw- Claw the enemy, causing [186 + (RAP * 0.40) *0.20] damage.
Demoralizing Shriek- The aerial beast emits an ear-splitting shriek, reducing the physical damage caused by all enemies within 8 yards by 10% for 10 sec
Aerial Slash- The aerial beast claws at an enemy from above, increasing the critical strike chance of all attacks made against that target by 3%
