rats rats we're the rats we stalk at night we prey at night we're the rats i'm the giant rat who makes the rules lets see what kind of trouble we get ourselves into

[erapanzondeerapanzonis]

Reflective Armor Plating was incredibly useful for the Feltotem's Fall Mage Tower Challenge in Legion, allowing you to deflect the Fel Burst nuke the boss casted at your pet

[cytoid]

I'm glad you covered monkeys and their blind being bugged, but what you didn't cover was the Hunters in arena coming in with 4-5 monkeys, using the blind-stun, abandoning pet mid-fight and summoning another monkey to do it all over again, it was chaos lol.

[Verdis_deMosays]

I fondly remember the hunter in wrath who camped the horde flightpath in Booty Bay with a rhino. As soon as someone landed, they'd get punted onto the docks to their death. Evil, and truly hilarious

[blindfire]

I can't remember if it was Monkeys, Crabs, or Spiders, but I remember them being so broken in Cataclysm PVP lol. You could have multiple pets and they all had their own individual cd, so you could root with spider/blind with monkey/I think stun with crab and then quickly switch out your pets for another and do it again. I remember people having like 5 monkeys in rated arenas, it was a crazy time to be alive.

I don't recall how it was in Cata, but in Wrath, Chimera Shot when used on a target afflicted with Scorpid Sting was also a 10sec disarm, which was great against double DPS comps in arena since a Hunter could disarm both simultaneously, then one of them for another few seconds as well.

Thanks for making a video from a request I made time ago!

[Alicia]

No mention of the ability that made me and a lot of others fall in love with spirit beasts!? Spirit strike felt so special even though it was just a moonfire cast by a pet lol

[Rohan_Trishan]

I like how much depth they tried to give the hunter pets with its unique talent tree aspects or abilities. It really opened up the hunter toolkit to get an ability that they found useful for damage or utility.

[TammyTwilightRose]

I've mained hunter since I started but only used moths and spiders. Seeing dust of life make it on the list makes me miss it so much.

[thewinnerme]

I am once again asking for a "history of executes" video.
Talking about the original execute ability, major changes to it, passives and talents for other classes that gave them executes, trinkets that had or gave execute effects, that sort of thing.

[pentifexmonolith]

You were able to have Heart of the Phoenix on your cast bars

[Perry]

here the thing so Counter Shot did not come out until Siege of Orgrimar patch up to that point we did not have a class wide interput MM has silence shot and BM had intimidation

[goast_cuard]

iirc the quillen b-rez was added in MoP, so it was the only one hunter had for a little while. Kind of makes more sense if that powerful of an ability (which funnily enough I never saw anybody use besides myself) was only attached to one specific family to reduce its influence. Weird that they threw it onto a couple more families.

[Wowzombie]

Hunter pets used to be very fun to use, every family used to have something that made them special, now it’s all cunning, ferocity, and tenacity with only a few basic abilities. The downside is we couldn’t switch specs meaning most pet looks were forgotten and useless. The only hunter pet family right now with an ability unique to that family is lesser dragonkin, but the ability only reduces magic damage taken which is not that gr8. I hope they’ll add hunter pet spec switching again

[jeffreyarnold]

a wasp sting used to dot. very useful on rogues. the quillen rez saved more than a few dungeon groups. rez the healer, use pet to tank while healer rez' the real tank. I did that occasionally to great effect.

[bit_outcast]

All of your channels make my day. Great work as always!

[CitizenCold]

I miss the original version of Serenity Dust for moths, it gave a attack power buff while also healing over time which made it overpowered imo during wrath. I wish it stayed the same instead of changing to because blizzard hates uniqueness in the game and only want uniformity.

[Verdis_deMosays]

In ToC during wrath, the bird pets were quite useful, since if you disarmed Gormok before he put his bleed up, it wouldn't apply. Pretty well nullified the mechanic

[bobsalami]

Thank god they removed Jerma from the game, otherwise i would be scared for my life
