I found a blue Portent

I was farming for Skyshards today ,when I saw footprints on the ground. I followed them for a couple of minutes and I found the rare beast. It was a blue version of Portent. I already have the red version of him ,that's why I didn't tame this one.
I don't use quilen for a pet and I've tamed Portent just for my collection. Here is a pictures of him:

How to use Stampede in PVP ?

Stampede is one of the most powerful spells for us hunters in Mists of Pandaria. The problem is the the CD of the spell is 5 minutes ,so we must be very careful when to use it. There are many uses of the spell - some hunters combine pets with high DPS and use Stampede for greater burst of damage, others use Spirit beast to heal themselves with the spell.

I personally use five different pets with specific abilities and I would like to share them with you. I think that with this combination of pets you can get very good burst of damage as well as nice CC on the target.

The combination in not oriented on direct damage , the goal is to get the right debuffs on the target.

So my pets are Bird of prey,Boar,Raptor,Spider and Devilsaur.

From the Bird of prey I get the Snatch ability which is 8 second disarm.

The Boar gives me Gore - "Your boar gores the enemy, causing it to take 4% increased physical damage for 30 sec."

The Raptor - Tear Armor -Tears at the enemy's armor with the raptor's talons, causing Weakened Armor.

 Weakened Armor -Weakens the armor of the target by 4% for 30 sec.  Stacks up to 3 times.

From the Spider I get - Web- 5 second root on the target.

And from the Devilsaur I get Monstrous Bite and Terrifying Roar.

Monstrous Bite- Your devilsaur ferociously bites the enemy, reducing the effectiveness of any healing received for 10 sec.

Terrifying Roar-The devilsaur lets out a terrifying roar, increasing the critical strike chance of all party and raid members by 5%.

So in total I get :
-8 seconds Disarm
-30 seconds increased physical damage by 4%
-30 seconds reduced armor by 12 %
-5 seconds root
-5% Crit chance increased
- reduced healing on the target

So this is my tactic for Stampede and I hope that you will find it useful. Tell me how you use the spell and keep hunting !

Portent is in the stable

After many days of playing and completing daily quests today I saw some footsteps in the Valley of Eternal blossoms.It took me nearly 20 minutes to follow them and finally I found Portent in the middle of the valley ( near the two giant statues ). I putted a hunter's mark on him and tamed him .I tamed the red version of Portent and I can say that I like it a lot . For me the blue and the red versions are the most attractive.For now I use BM only for PVP ...so my Portent won't be very useful to me ,but maybe in future I will make some raid with my guild and if they tell me that they need me as a BM hunter...there will be much work for my Portern qilen pet.My hunt for the exotic pets of Pandaria will continue and I hope that soon I will have the luck to tame another interesting pet.

I wish you all good luck with the pet hunting ;)

Stable change for hunters

There is more information about patch 5.3 with each day ,but as you all know the most interesting info for me is the one about hunters. So today i woke up and I saw another very important and interesting change- a "stable"change.

As you all know to this moment all hunters were able to stable 20 of their pets in the stable master and take the 5 most favorite with them. But now with patch 5.3 Blizzard are increasing the amount of stable pets from 20 up to 50.

This is very good news because now we will be able to gather much more rare and interesting pets , because of the larger space that we are going to get in the stable.

Until now I was collecting only useful pets and very few of my pets were in my stable because of their looks. If you are a BM hunter now you can gather all of the spirit beasts ,rare Pandaria pets and still have more room for other interesting pets. And you wouldn't be forced to get rid of a pet because now need other pet more.

So on the end of this post I would just like to say Great job Blizzard !

Stompy,Stompy,Stompy !!!!

Today I went to Kun-Lai Summit to make some archaeology. The dig site was near Shado-Pan Monastery and when I landed I saw something strange...Something little and brown....It was a track.

And few seconds after ..another track appeared next to it. I used my flat immediately and I saw Stompy.After few seconds he was my friend forever :)

Stompy is my first rare Pandaria pet and I am very,very happy ! I wish you all the same luck !

I found Stompy here

Some pictures of us...:D

Direhorn- The new hunter pet

There is going to be a new tameable beast with the new Patch 5.2 -Direhorns.  So far those pets are not exotic and if this stays like that the Direhorns will be available for all hunter specialisations.

There are going to be five different kinds of Direhorns on the island-white,green,red,orange and blue. Below you can see a map with the locations of the different Direhorns on the island.

The important thing here is that you will need to get Ancient Tome of Dinomancy . This tome will allow you to tame Direhorns and without it you can do nothing. For now I don't know where you can get the Tome ,but it binds on a pick up so you won't be able to get it from the AH or other players.

For now the only known ability of the Direhorn pets is called Reflective Armor Plating. This ability will  Deflects all spells cast in front of the Direhorn for 6 sec. It will be a channeling spell and it has 30 sec. cooldown.

White Direhorn

Green Direhorn

Red Direhorn

Blue Direhorn

Orange Direhorn

So this is the information that I have for the new pet for now. As soon as I find video with tamed Direhorns I will share it with you. I hope the post was useful. Keep hunting !

The new Devilsaur pets in Patch 5.2

Maybe most of you have noticed that some of  the dinosaurs in the new Isle of Giants are devilsaurs. So I hope that we will be able to tame them. If this happens we will be able to get red,blue and yellow devilsaurs. Now I have white one and I love him ,but I will be very happy if I get some of the new ones. Here are the pictures and lets hope that will will be able to tame them ;) Keep Hunting !

What is your choice from the new hunter pets ?

I think that all hunters know which are the new tipes of pets that MoP will add. More interesting for me will be which of the new pets is goind to be the most popular and the most often used.

It's not only my opinion that in MoP the BM hunters are the best choice for PVP and maybe even for PVE.But the two new BM pets (Quilen and Water Strider) are not very useful in PVP , I wonder what will be the most common pet from the other new...

Here is a brief info about all of them again. I hope that you will tell me what will be your choice in the comments below :)


Basilisk

Tenacity Pet
Many colors and Azeroth tames, in addition to Pandaria ones.
Special Ability:  Petrifying Gaze. Petrifies the target, reducing movement, attack and casting speed by 10%. The target will be petrified at 5 stacks, stunning them for 5 sec.

Crane

Cunning Pet
7 colors
Special Ability:  Lullaby. Puts the target to sleep for 4 sec.
Bonus Ability:  Trick. You command your Crane to do a trick.

Goat

Ferocity Pet
5 colors
Special Ability:  Trample. Your goat tramples the enemy, kicking up an obscuring cloud of dust, causing all enemies within 10 yards to have their spell cast speed increased by 50% (25% on player targets) for 30 sec.

 Porcupine

Tenacity Pet
6 colors
Special Ability:  Paralyzing Quill. Fires paralyzing quills around the porcupine, incapacitating all enemies for 2 sec.
Bonus Ability:  Rest. You command your pet Porcupine to take a rest.

Quilen

Exotic Pet, Tenacity
6 colors
Exotic Ability:  Eternal Guardian. Returns the spirit to the body, restoring a dead target to life with 60% health and 20% mana.
Special Ability:  Fearless Roar. The quilen lets out a fearless roar, increasing the critical strike chance of all party and raid members by 5% for 2 min.

 Water Strider

Exotic Pet, Cunning
4 colors
Exotic Ability:  Still Water. Infuses all party and raid members within vision with still water, increasing their spell power by 10% and their critical strike chance by 5%.
Exotic Ability:  Surface Trot. Allows the Hunter and the Water Strider to walk across water for 10 min. Any damage will cancel the effect.

I here is my choice for now..:)

Mists of Pandaria New pet Families-Water Striders

The Water Strider family is the last of the six new for MoP.They as the Quilen are exotic pets ,so they are available only for BM hunters. In the information from the beta servers show two tipes of Water Striders. I'm not still sure which one of them is the right one so I'll show them both and let you decide.

The Water Strider are Cunning pets and their main use is going to be in PVP. But if you look at their passive ability you can see that those pets can be useful in PVE.The passive ability is called Still Water-Infuses all party and raid members within vision with still water, increasing their spell power by 10% and their critical strike chance by 5%. As you can see this spell can be use for big boost in the DPS of any raid. The other unique ability is called Surface Trot-Allows the Hunter and the Water Strider to walk across water for 10 min. Any damage will cancel the effect. For me Surface Trot can be very effective in outdoor PVP.

Water Strider eat fruit and fungus.

I think that with those new pet families Blizzard are trying to make the imagination of the players the key factor about using the pets in PVP or PVE.

So this was my last post about the new pet families in Mists of Pandaria. I hope that you fish them useful and I hope that soon there will be more information.

For final some Water Strider pictures:

Mists of Pandaria New pet Families-Quilen

As you my know there is already a Quilen moutn in MoP ,so this is the second time that we meet this asian lion(as I call it ).

Quilen are going to be exotic mounts-this means that you have to be at least 69 lvl and you also have to be a BM hunter.

Quilen are Ferocity pets and as exotic they have two abilities-Fearless Roar and Eternal Guardian .

Fearless Roar-The quilen lets out a fearless roar, increasing the critical strike chance of all party and raid members by 5% for 2 min.

Eternal Guardian-Returns the spirit to the body, restoring a dead target to life with 20% health and 0% mana.

As you can see those two abilities make the Quilen very useful pet in raids and dungeons.For me Eternal Guardian is more important spell because if you use it in the right time you can resurrect dead tank or healer and save the whole raid.

The Quilens diet includes fish and meat.

Mists of Pandaria New pet Families-Porcupines

Number four are the Porcupines! They are cute ,aren't they ? At first I saw that Porcupines are going to be Tenacity pets and I thought that they are going to be just another leveling and soloing pets. But then I saw their very interesting special ability-Paralyzing Quill.

Paralyzing Quill will fire paralyzing quills around the porcupine, incapacitating all enemies for 2 sec.My opinion is that this is AWESOME!!! This pet can be useful for both PVP and PVE.The cooldown is 60 sec ,but if you use it wise in the most important...this ability can be very important.

The four families that I talked about (Basilisks,Cranes,Goat and Porcupines) can be used from any hunter. The next two families (Quilen and Water Striders) are exotic pets and they can be tamed only by Best Mastery hunters.

Here are some Porcupine pictures:

Mists of Pandaria New pet Families-Cranes

The second new family is -Cranes. There isn't much information about them ...They are going to be cunning pets and they eat bread and fish.Their special ability is Lullaby(Puts the target to sleep for 4 sec.). As you can see those pets are going to be very,very useful in PVP. The Lullaby ability has 20yards range and this makes the Cranes very effective against both melee and ranged enemies.

Mists of Pandaria New pet Families- Basilisks

In MoP beta there are six new pet families that can be tamed. This information is about the beta servers and it can be changed by Blizzard in every moment !

So the six new families are :
-Basilisks
-Cranes
-Goats
-Porcupines
-Quilen
-Water Striders



Basilisks- The first thing I'm going to say is....FINALLY!!! I've wanted to tame basilisk from the moment I saw one in Stranglethorn. In MoP they are going to be Tenacity pets. Basilisks will eat meat and fish. Their special ability will be Petrifying Gaze(Turns the target into stone for 3 sec, causing them to be invulnerable.).

Rare hunter pets-Birds of Prey

I am MM hunter but my seconadry spec is BM so I will start to make posts about the most rare and interesting pets. The first kind of pets are going to be the Birds of pray (you don't need to be BM hunter to tame them).


"Birds of prey are a family of Cunning pets in World of Warcraft. They are tamable by a  Hunter starting at level 10.

Birds of prey, through use of their  Snatch ability, can disarm a target for 10 seconds. This ability is very nice for PVP and can also disarm any mobs which are regularly able to be disarmed (which can include dungeon bosses). Some may also know a unique "bonus" ability,  Trick, which causes your pet to flip up and do a turn in the air. This ability has no actual purpose and is just for show, and it is also not available to all birds of prey.

There are a whopping twenty-eight different skins available for bird of prey pets. Birds are prey are unique because the pet class features a variety of different species, including eagles, owls, parrots, hawks and even a seagull! As such, there are a number of exotic and rare skins available for players to tame. The best-known rare birds of prey are Aotona and Olm the Wise."

Aotona is a big rate blue parrot. It's located in Sholazar Basin. The lelev of the beast is 75 and it drops Aotona's Collar and Abandoned Adventurer's Satchel.

Aotona

 Aotona location

Olm the Wise is a big owl located in Felwood. He is level 48 and he has unique white skin. He may drom 80 green items and Giant egg. 

Olm the wise

 Olm the wise locations

I personally like Olm more because for me big blue parrot is not nasty enough. But thats only my opinion. So good luck with the rares and soon I will give you information about more interesting pets.
