OVERVIEW: These are the funkiest animals on two legs in this game. They may not
look like much but they have a pretty decent health count and a fast attack
speed but they don’t have many moves and have an odd diet. They’re native to
the low-level regions of Kalimdor such as Mulgore, Darkshore, and the Barrens
but they’re nonexistent once you leave those areas. If you plan on getting
one, you should get one as early as possible.
------
Turtle
------
MOVES: Growl, Cower, Bite, Shell Shield
DIET: Fungus, Fruit
DAMAGE: -10%
ARMOR: +13%
HEALTH: Normal
OVERVIEW: As you would expect, turtles have naturally high armor but low attack
strength, making them versatile tanks versus physical attackers, especially if
you use Shell Shield. This higher armor count also makes Mend Pet that much
more efficient. The only downside to turtles is that they have that picky
vegetarian diet.
------------
Warp Stalker
------------
MOVES: Growl, Cower, Bite, Claw, Warp
DIET: Fish, Fruit, Raw Fish
DAMAGE: -6%
ARMOR: +5%
HEALTH: Normal
OVERVIEW: Warp Stalkers look like giant komodo dragons, appearing only in
Outland. You will find them once you enter Terrokar Forest. Their Warp ability
allows them to go directly to whatever you are attacking, rather than having
to run to them. Think of it as a Dash through time and space. Because of their
high levels, you will need to be level 62 or so before you can tame one.
------------
Wind Serpent
------------
MOVES: Growl, Cower, Bite, Dive, Lightning Breath
DIET: Bread, Cheese, Fish
DAMAGE: +7%
ARMOR: Normal
HEALTH: Normal
OVERVIEW: Wind Serpents are an amazing bunch. They look neat and come in a
variety of colors. Even though they don’t have much in the way of health and
armor, their attack strength and fast-hitting moves make them great for a
straight-out offense. You’ll find them mostly in Kalimdor.
----
Wolf
----
MOVES: Growl, Cower, Bite, Growl, Furious Howl
DIET: Meat
DAMAGE: Normal
ARMOR: +5%
HEALTH: Normal
OVERVIEW: Wolves are all-around good pets but what really makes them shine is
their unique ability Furious Howl, which grants any party members within range
a bonus to their next attack. So not only do you get a pet with a little Armor
bonus, you get to have a small DPS boost along with it.

c. Pet Abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just like you, your pet also learns various abilities, some of which are
unique to certain types of animals. Unlike you, they use Focus instead of
mana, which works the same way as a Rogue’s Energy. While Growl and several
passive abilities can be taught through the Pet Trainers in each major city,
most moves require that you tame the beasts with those abilities and use them.
This means that if you have all three of your Stable slots filled, you may
have to sacrifice one when it is time to learn new abilities.
Some abilities are active, while others are passive. You’ll know which is which
as you go through the list. Also, when you teach your pet new abilities, it
consumes training points, which are gained through level-ups and friendship
gains. You only have a limited amount of these points and it costs money to
unlearn them so choose your abilities wisely.
Each ability costs Training Points, which are accumulated through your pet’s
Friendship and level growths. Like your Talent Points, it costs money to
unlearn your abilities so choose them wisely. Each ability listed has its
Training Costs associated with each of its ranks. If you’re not sure what to
invest your points into, here is what I recommend: first, spend your points on
any offensive or unique abilities the pet may have. If you can choose between
Claw, Bite, or Gore, pick only one of the three. Then learn the highest
possible Great Stamina, followed by the highest-ranking Natural Armor.
Finally, with whatever points you have left over, invest them in your choice
of spell resists.
-----------------
Arcane Resistance
-----------------
EFFECT: Increase your pet’s Arcane Resistance by 30.
LEVEL RANK TRAIN CHANGE
20 1 5 Resistance starts at 30.
30 2 15 Resistance increased to 60.
40 3 45 Resistance increased to 90.
50 4 90 Resistance increased to 120.
60 5 105 Resistance increased to 150.
OVERVIEW: Arcane damage isn’t very common for most of your leveling in Azeroth,
but you’ll see it a lot in Outland. A minimum of Rank 1 would be nice to have.
---------
Avoidance
---------
EFFECT: Reduces the damage your pet takes from area of effect attacks by an
additional 25%.
LEVEL RANK TRAIN CHANGE
30 1 15 Damage reduction set to 25%.
60 2 25 Damage reduction increased to 50%.
----
Bite
----
ACTION: Bite your target for 7 to 9 damage.
FOCUS: 35
RANGE: 5 yards
CASTING TIME: Instant
COOLDOWN: 10 sec.
LEVEL RANK TRAIN CHANGE
1 1 1 Damage starts at 7 to 9.
8 2 4 Damage increased to 16 to 18.
16 3 7 Damage increased to 24 to 28.
24 4 10 Damage increased to 31 to 37.
32 5 13 Damage increased to 40 to 48.
40 6 17 Damage increased to 49 to 59.
48 7 21 Damage increased to 66 to 80.
56 8 25 Damage increased to 81 to 99.
64 9 29 Damage increased to 108 to 132.
OVERVIEW: Bite is a very basic offensive ability for pets that most animals can
learn. It does a moderate amount of damage for pet standards but if you prefer
something that hits faster but for less damage, Claw may be the better
alternative. Certain pets can learn both but oftentimes, your pet won’t
generate enough Focus to make having both worthwhile.
------
Charge
------
ACTION: Charge an enemy, immobilizing it for 1 second and adding 50 attack
power to your pet’s next attack.
FOCUS: 35
RANGE: 8-25 yards
CASTING TIME: Instant
COOLDOWN: 25 sec.
LEVEL RANK TRAIN CHANGE
1 1 5 Attack power bonus starts at 50.
12 2 9 Attack power bonus increased to 100.
24 3 13 Attack power bonus increased to 180.
36 4 17 Attack power bonus increased to 250.
48 5 25 Attack power bonus increased to 390.
60 6 29 Attack power bonus increased to 550.
OVERVIEW: This is a move that’s great for quickly stopping your target from
fleeing and the attack power bonus is pretty nice given that it’s coming from
a pet.
----
Claw
----
ACTION: Claw your target for 4 to 6 damage.
FOCUS: 25
RANGE: 5 yards
CASTING TIME: Instant
COOLDOWN: 1.5 sec global
LEVEL RANK TRAIN CHANGE

48 7 21 Damage increased to 25 to 49.
56 8 25 Damage increased to 43 to 59.
64 9 29 Damage increased to 54 to 76.
OVERVIEW: This is one of two basic physical attack abilities that pets have.
If you prefer faster, weaker hits, then this move is for you. If you want
something a little heavier, there’s always Bite.
--------------
Cobra Reflexes
--------------
EFFECT: Attack speed increased by 30%, but damage done is reduced.
LEVEL RANK TRAIN CHANGE
30 n/a 15 Attack speed increased by 30%.
OVERVIEW: With this ability, your pet’s 2.00 attack speed will increase to
1.54. With the reduction in base damage, your pet’s overall damage output is
more or less the same, if not slightly higher. This speed increase is
especially good for interrupting casting time, or for players who simply
prefer a pet that can strike more quickly.
-----
Cower
-----
ACTION: Reduces your pet’s threat, decreasing the chance that the target will
attack the pet.
FOCUS: 15
RANGE: 5 yards
CASTING TIME: Instant
COOLDOWN: 5 sec.
LEVEL RANK FOCUS CHANGE
5 1 8 Reduces threat.
15 2 10 Reduces more threat than Rank 1.
25 3 12 Reduces more threat than Rank 2.
35 4 14 Reduces more threat than Rank 3.
45 5 16 Reduces more threat than Rank 4.
55 6 18 Reduces more threat than Rank 5.
65 7 21 Reduces more threat than Rank 6.
OVERVIEW: The uses of move are often overlooked. Whenever you’re in a group,
the Warrior should be the one with the highest aggro so to ensure that your
pet doesn’t get in the way of things, use Cower. It’s also good for those
times when you need to save your pet from dying. While there are certainly
many different other ways to keep aggro away from your pet, it’s something to
consider.
----
Dash
----
ACTION: Increase your pet’s movement speed by 40% for 15 seconds.
FOCUS: 20
RANGE: n/a
