6:50 "No longer viable to abandon monkeys mid-battle" I just love this phrase for no specific reason
This is an entire list that proves that attempting to Balance a PVE based game around PVP, ruins PVE abilities.
Stfu pve Noob
No, it's a Blizzard issue they were just stupid about it, they could have given the abilities different values against players as they did with some abilities later on but didn't.
And their way to go about it also didn't benefit PvPers either, PvP has been much more impacted by PvE design/gear than the other way around, it's not even close.
This is why in ff14 all abilities have their own pvp versions, although that wouldn't work in wow due to world pvp.
@@jdog969 Can't really call other people noob when you play WoW pvp lol
And vice versa. I h8 PvE
I miss the old Birds of Prey ability that allowed your pet to disarm a target. I used to smack every melee class player I'd come across. Also the old web ability spiders had. "Oh, what's that little rogue? You want to sprint away?" *spider web* "NOPE!" Those were good times.
I miss the unique abilities.
@@TuberoseKisser Yeah in general, I miss them too. Different types of pets having unique abilities actually made me go out and tame all different types of animals. Now I mostly just have cats, because tigers.
they still have a web ability I think...... XD
I like the hearthstone-ish templates, neato burrito
Glad you like it! I was originally against the idea, but my editorial manager FelPlague worked hard to convince me of it.
Neato burrito indeed
4:25 It's so useful u can even use spirit mend on the dragon boss u have to heal in Icecrown for some extra loot and it only takes like 3-4 uses to heal her fully
When I first started in vanilla, I LOVED the gorilla. I had one before I saw anyone else use them. I didn't care if they weren't as good in vanilla/bc, I still thought they were awesome. Still have it on my hunter to this day. Though I haven't used him since his glory days.
Forget to talk about Broken tooth..with attack speed 1.0.Casters hated that Pet.
Holy shit the abandoning monkey strat is so funny
I remember one of our BM hunters used Princess Yauj in one of our Fireland runs and we where all just in awe why he suddenly almost trippled his DPS over the last week. Until he explained what he did. Then all our Hunters did that and our guild finally killed Rag Heroic with it. Felt pretty cheated but eh.. we killed him legit the next week but still it left a bitter taste.
I remember doing naxxramas in Wrath and some scorpion pet was beating everyone on patchwerk. Like not the hunter+scorpion, just the scorpion because it's 5stack poison was doing insane damage
Reading this 2 years later… after SoD release and seeing it getting nerfed for the same reasons is interesting.
God I remember pvp during the era of the "STUNkeys"
Yeah the undead army was fun. Remember the dragon twister game with them 🤣.
Worth to note with monkeys is that Blizzard also added a feature that when you tame a pet it will scale with your level, putting it at 5 levels under you. So hunters were just dissmissing their monkeys to summon the next one faster, thus loosing their pet. Because of this they were legit staying on the isle with monkeys continuosly taming them in between arena queues
I’ve had different list on my mind:
- AV wolves faster than epic mounts
- Duskwood wolf doing shadow damage
- cool spirit wolf that could be tamed only in group, haste, drums, heroism because it spawned only for seconds.
It really seems to be many sneaky things that can happen with taming & dismissing pets. reminds me of the stories when they spread the plauge in vanilla by dismissing diseased pets and summoning them in populated areas, or my rare cat that from wotlk that had an odd thing that it would just die randomly by itself a minute or so after getting tamed. (probably had to do with it's spawn & despawn timers remaining even when it became a pet).
i remember stacking stam/haste to tame elites fast enough to not die during taming, of which stayed elite, and hit harder. i also miss the pet rez.
Cataclysm had a great showing of this actually, the molten turtle rare in mount hyjal you could not freezing trap it, and it dealt so much damage you had to stack haste, haste pots, and even pop blood lust if you could, all while stacking tons of haste/stam in order to stop it from killing you the second it reached you!
@@hirumaredx Reminds me of my first spirit beast. Gumi from MoP. He'd one shot you as well. But you also had to get him to a certain arount of health. You had to kite like crazy and it was a big learning experience for me as a hunter. Me and my buddy had to synergize with his Resto Druid to tame it. One of my all time favorite moments in WoW and Gumi hasn't left my frontline in 10 years lol
Zaricotl the rare carrion bird from badlands (pre cata) was silently broken where although the tool tip said it hit only 1 enemy it actually hit everything with damage and the 574 attack power debuff. It was a great bird to have in ICC when you ddidnt have a warrior with your group and with a 10sec cd its attack was constaly proccing for the 85-129 damage.
I remember watching a vid from the LK beta where somebody tamed one of the big silithids, maybe Yauj, and when they summoned it, it hadn't scaled down at all, so it was like Godzilla stomping around Dalaran clipping through buildings and lagging everybody to death.
Dude, excellent video and great voice... I just couldn't help wondering if you got the music from a funeral home. lol
I miss the special abilities my pets had, Blizz really killed the uniqueness of the classes with all their tinkering
Still use the spirit pet for my solo mount/mog runs in ICC because it can solo heal that dragon boss encounter.
One pet I miss not because it's not much useful of the sort but chibee the silkworm from Jade forest I liked his sieze even though he did not fit through doors until nerfed.
Also that worgen pet was also pretty neat until blizzard removed that one or atleast did not make it tameable.
I still use Chibee. He is one of my favorite pets. :) That big ball of yellow fluffyness. :P
Yes love the silkworms from Panda. I still have Bombyx. You had to flare out in order to tame it. Remember spending all night tossing flares.
I've had two crazy pet glitches.
My pet had some glitched Wild Growth in Cata that was ticking for over 1 million healing a second. Same pet also ended up keeping all buffs from Madness of Deathwing fight outside of the instance.
Killing a pet in arena is definitely not a noob thing to do, especially during Wrath. If you can manage to take out an important pet it can shift the tempo of the match completely. Good healers would keep the pets alive best they could.
Hope people like the video!
nope
you forgot to add the current broken hunter worm pet in pvp being able to spin bases from far away and nearly unstopable
Stampede hard carried me as a noob priest to 2.2k 2s and 2k 3s in the first patch of mop. That and the warrior burst to go with them was just nasty
I vaguely remember a glitch with a T-Rex pet in Wrath, that it's ability was bugged and it's Bleed debuff was doing HP % based damage and killing raid bosses fast. Did I hallucinate this?
The ability to Moonfire with Loque’nahak was awesome. It broke my heart when Blizzard nixed it. I understand using Readiness to stack BW and other CDs being OP as hell and nerfing it, but removing nuance from the game has severely hurt it over the years. Every time something interesting is removed, a section of subscribers gets pissed and leaves.
Can’t blame Blizzard for not spreading the love, I guess.
The bad manners ability for the monkey used to crack me up
I never knew about the bad manners bug. That is actually a really funny feature, just a dude running around killing folks with disposable monkeys.
The spirit beast in sholozar basin, believe the first one ever in the game, I spent SOOOOOO long hunting for it. Still have it, to this day.
In WOTLK, spirit beasts didn't have the Spirit Mend ability yet, I think it was spirit strike similar to a Boomkin's moonstrike.
Spirit mend was in WOTLK original and was very OP before being nerfed in patch 3.1/3.2+
About army of the dead during WotLK, the only class/spec which didn't care was the protection paladin, it was my main and I laughed each time a dk used that. I remember once three frost dk at once attacked me in Warsong with lich form, three army of the dead and their ghouls, ended up killing them easily due to the auto-crit of holy spells on undead and holy stun aoe, got out of that fight with 85% hp left and still being able to use Lay on Hands and Divine Shield, but protection paladin was quite op in itself during WotLK ...
New Hiruma video ❤️
Stampede was THE SHIT. I miss just the way it looked!
The music in the beginning is so good! What Music is it? want it so much!
I have had loque nahak for about 8/9 years now since my hunter turned 78 favorite pet ever. !
All the hearthstone ish stuff on these wow videos lately is intriguing. Pretty sure you said you don’t play hearthstone at some point but it would be cool to see what you play.
Shadow priest is pretty baller right now! Lol
With the departure of madseason its good to see someone picking up the torch. Ive been loving youre videos
In Mists of Pandaria, pet abilities didn't have shared CDs. You could have multiple Spirit Mend pets. You could cast it with one pet, dismiss that one and then swap to the next pet and repeat. Essentially changing the 30 second CD to 6 seconds if you didn't mind that all you were doing was casting Dismiss Pet.
Nice.
Okay, I just drank a beer, but I love you!
Love your WoW videos, I'm glad you're continuing to make them. I've had to drop alot of content creators due to their abandoning the content for other MMO's.
Wows past is interesting. WoWs current/future state is not.
No mention of Broken Tooth? That kitty was amazing in Vanilla.
or lobus the wolf that did shadow damage.
@@naquan59 or Takk the Leaper that was so fast he could run down mounted players
I am a BM Hunter. I always bring a Spirit Beast into raids knowing it's going to come in handy in situaltions like if the healer can't keep up. Every little bit helps.
I always soulstone the healer or tank in dungeons as a warlock main i still play as a dk from time to time or when im farming mogs
i always do nothing to the healers cause i only care about myself@@Red_Rebellion
Honestly, I feel that hunters need some dedicated PVP pets, like pets that are great for PVP. Though I once mained a hunter, I never once cared about PVP and because of the limited stable slots, I kept one pet that was a praire wolf. Though it was cool to see that Legion added account bound books that allowed hunters to tame the likes of dragons and hybrid animals, though I would like to have that just not in legion. I would like to play as a wind serpent tamer just again not Legion.
Some of these pets sound great for PVE, though I am gonna stop before wanting the desire to gush on how to rework it more so. Like for the rhino sure it has the stampede but what if it looses half health it they stampede one person and on the minimap, the animal gets highlighted.
Though I maybe wrong but for a long while there was a short time when pet training was still a thing, certain categories of pets could learn something special.
"...before they ran out of monkeys to abandon." That's so sad but also hilarious.
Should mention that in mop hunters basically had every op mechanic implemented in their pets. Eg. The crane with the combat rez
Will you go over damage types?
Chaos, shadow, fire, nature,frost, arcane etc.
because it seems like it changes nothing
well in clasic it changed a lot
@@devilskiss8421 well i don't really see if it does anything now
1. damage types used to matter far more as enemies has resistances, and immunities, and it even mattered for pvp, as different classes had different abilities that granted extra resistance, like warlocks you wouldnt want to use shadow and fire.
However resistances were eventually removed. Although there is still "some" semblence of it today in pvp, with some abilities and racials reducing/increasing damage taken/done with specific types.
2. the spell classes are important for "kicking" if you are a warlcok casting a fire spell like immolate and you get interuppted, you are locked out of fire spells, so you can still go and cast shadowbolt, but if you are casting a shadowflame spell and get kicked you are locked out of fire, and shadow, meaning you dont really have much to cast other then chaos bolt. and if you get kicked during chaos bolt which is chaos damage you are locked out of EVERYTHING.
What this means is you can juke players into kicking spell types you dont use often, or players can seak to kick you out of specific types.
Fighting a priest? kick their holy to stop their healing, or kick their shadow to stop their damage.
I guess you never saw the rextroy video of the pet that didn't get the levelcrunch when everyone else did?
I miss stampede so much! I haven't really used pets much but I remember my moth being able to battle rez and idk if thats a thing still or not but it was so good too
no they took the rez's out from crane too
Wanted to add a small note on AOTD, During WOTLK, Blood DKs (or any DK that speced into Dancing rune weapon) were able to double up on AOTD. The Old Dancing rune weapon copied whatever spell you casted. so if you used it, then AOTD then Summon Ghoul, you had a full raid team. This was a ton of fun in PVP, My blood/unholy DK was able solo full team fights.
My Hunter tamed a pet called Quillen, back in Pandaria. It had a most unique ability to *RESURRECT a Dead Player* back to life. XD
Thank you for producing these videos, Hiru. Somehow you're able to take the sad state of wow and keep pumping out killer videos like these consistently. Once in a while I just rewatch every single list video and everytime its still as amazing as the first time I watched it :)
love love love the Hearthstone art!
Spirit Beast heals also work in ICC for the green dragon, which makes Hunters able to solo the raid.
You can just bypass the boss with the portals next to it. The gate will open and you can skip it.
@@stephanlamersdorf4565 If you are level 50+ or maybe even lower, you can just walk by and get on the elevator.
how come legion unholy dks dark arbiter wasnt included?
You should make a history of shaman totems. I know you already made one back in 2013 but a new might be in order :)
The first thing that came to mind.... and I was hoping you would put it on the list... but you let me down.......
The Frostwolf in AV. They had like this crazy permanent sprint that was like 300% and they didn't have a max range.
So hunters could send them for anyone and that pet would attack you until you were dead. Even if you briefly ran past the hunter on a mount, the wolf would chase you until you were dead.
I think this was in vanilla, and blizzard removed it in record time
Miss my old felguard when we warlock got for first time. That thing was monster 😍 he hit like truck
14:34 thats from Warcraft 3 the Beast Master could channel it for the one line of aoe
No mention of the Rake? In vanilla wow at some point right around BC all hunter pets hit for the same damage. The caveat to this was that they kept their base attack speed. And the fastest hitting hunter pet possible was the Rake, a cat from Mulgore. It was a chainsaw of damage. No special abilities, no wtf attacks, just a holy shit stream of non stop damage. There were lines of hunters stacked up in Mulgore to tame this thing. I think I still have mine in my stable.
While hardly this broken, King Bangladesh was possibly the first overpowered pet😜
Surprised you didn't list instead a lot of the rares that had their own special stats like the ones that could go as fast as an epic mount
Or the hunter pet doing shadow damage instead of physical damgae
Nice little detail u added around min 13 xD
Nice
Nice.
Rhino at the flags was the best hunter pet in PVP till they killed the fun. Before that was cat in stealth when it had a stun.
I loved the card format !
Thanks!
So I have Thai spotted cat, and he’s like see through. Not the spirit beast, but idk like he’s be constantly stealthed, but he’s not. If I stealth him he becomes hard to see. And I can’t remember where I got him from. Anyone know where this pet can be? He’s white and spotted. Older model. And is see through.
Pre-cata darkshore, north end of the zone. Not sure if it's still there now if you use zidormi to go back in time to pre BFA
WTB a video of top 10 BM Hunter pets for Shadowlands if they have any differences nowdays ofc. :3
Why is Sporebat not in the 1st place?
I do remember using those crazy spirit wolves in wotlk....Think it was on my twink enhancement shaman. Great video all in all, but it did leave me wondering was Broken Tooth from vanilla not broken (heh) enough to make it to the list?
Broken Tooth was rather strong, but only abit stronger then other pets, not quite enough to make it on the list. The only thing being that it had a faster attack speed then the usual cat.
i miss the old stampede was good fun times
a pet video? extremely poggers
I believe BM Hunter's Spirit Beasts spirit mend was nerfed by 90% not 2/3rds.
With the felguard, you should have mentioned the short period of time where you could go into MGT and get the dmg increase buff that stacks from the wyrmlings when they die on your pet, dismiss him and queue for an arena.. then summon felguard back when you enter and send him in to one shot the entire enemy team. It was hotfixed very soon after being discovered by making buffs on pets vanish when you summon them in arena (yes, this bug is why that change was made in the past), but was freaking awesome for the short time it was a thing. You can still find the video of felguard soloing a 5's arena game with his spin ability, it's amazing!
vIDEO IS NICE BRO BUT COULD BE BETTER IF U SAY EACH PET LOCATION ON MAP
Time for a new video lol because SoD has taken over this entire List
cata hunter pet design was the best system
Lets gooooo, ive never played wow but i want too once i can get a good pc, i hav3 a gaming laptop but im afraid WoW burning a whole through it. Ive been watching your videos for a few years now lol
Retail WoW takes up a fair chunk of processing, depending on what video settings you choose. Wow Classic is an 18 year old game, so your gaming laptop will likely be able to run it easily. Word of advice, always play on the lowest video settings. You won't need to see any special particles densities unless you PvP or run Mythic dungeons. Good luck!
@@theelusivehombre9835 thanks for the spec and tech advise 👐👐👐
Item level 69... Nice
I played a dk in wrath. The number of times i pissed off my guildies popping army on dragons 😂 specifically caverns of time
Clefthooves are best 10% armor and 20% healing!
tbc water elemental should be on this list
Hiru, why do i have a feeling like your microphone quality is slightly lower than it used to be?
Yauj wasn't a noticeable bug? 🤔
Chapters 4 and 5 for the video (feral spirits being #5 on the TH-cam chapters and not #4 like the video, with Fire Elemental being the opposite) are switched around, but good work!
Fixed, thanks for pointing that out! I do not know how I messed that up...
Have you done one on the old unique pets from vanilla? That sort of thing is what makes an mmorpg the long grind to get brokentooth and takk the leaper. Eventually nerfed into the ground ofc
Video idea: What changes would you have to make to classic to turn it into retail?
The only pet I use in retail or at least when I use to play retail are spirit beasts. I tamed Gara during wod and haven't stabled her since then. I've survived many a boss fight and arena battle because of her. 😊
Good Video
Hey Hiru, could u make a video where u show how and where to obtain the alternative versions of certain spells? Like Hex: Cockroach, Polymorph: Turtle, the various Druid Shapeshifts (Firecat, Treant) and so on? I remember u mentioned a couple of them in your Secret Vendors video but i would love to have a video exclusivly dedicated to the various Tomes! Keep up the good work
"In PvP you could just stick a gorilla on a spell caster" I mean, if a big ass gorilla came charging at me to monkey stomp my butt into the ground I probably would consider anything I was doing 'interrupted' lol
id probably soil myself
The Disgusting Oozeling seems like it should have been on this list
I say rhinos are best tanking pet now due to their healing passive ability.
No mention at all of the flying serpents that were in ZG in Vanilla WoW that were stronger at tanking raid bosses than actual full geared tanks?
Top Ten Gunther Arcanus
Nice
7:38 AOA
Bro what was that fps
Would be cool if we had a Tinker/Mechanic class with its own pets. They can even copy some of the pets from the Engineer class from Wildstar with the pet acting as tank with your big ultimate spell where you and your pet become one. Or have pets who do different things like healing
That just sounds like Hunter with extra steps.
@@cabrondemente1 just something I came up with. Not a game dev XD
I mean Gnome/Goblin hunters can already tame mechanical beasts and other races can learn how to tame them as well but I see what you're talking about. I feel liked if they made a class like that they'd just be turning the engineering profession into a class. I will admit though that it would be a cool idea.
@@mariov1295 yeah, making a Tinker class is quite a challenge for the WoW team.
