Hunter pets to have family skills


No, I'm not talking about parenting and honey-do skills. In Wrath of the Lich King, each hunter family will have its own unique skill, just as Warp Stalkers currently have Warp.

While we've known this since the release of the Beta patch notes, we now have some of the details, courtesy of Mania of Mania's Arcania and Petopia.

In fact, some of the pet skills are so enticing that I'm beginning to think I'm going to need about 8 more stable slots! Here is a look at some of the juicier talents:

  • Bats will be able to stun an opponent for 2 seconds.

  • Bears will be able to Swipe similarly to druids, hitting three enemies in melee range.

  • Birds of Prey will be able to disarm opponents for 6 seconds.

  • Hyenas will reduce movement speed.

  • Moths will be increasing their own attack power, and healing themselves.

  • Nether Rays will have a spellcasting interrupt, preventing any spells from that school for one second.

Are you as excited as I am? Don't forget to head over to Petopia to check out the full, detailed list. What pets will you be taming?
