Warp Love


As we know, there are two colors of warp stalkers in the game that can be tamed by hunters. The white warp stalkers of Terrokar, and the teal and purple warps of Netherstorm. But am I the only one who thinks the warps aren't getting any love? Where is the warp stalker love Blizz??

While browsing Petopia the other day I noticed there was a new warp stalker skin posted, I clicked on it only to find out that it is not tamable. And on top of that it was removed from the game as of patch 2.1! We are talking about the Daggetail Lizard; a beautiful red warp stalker that calls the far reaches of the Blade's Edge Mountains it's home. This is an example of yet another warp stalker skin that cannot be tamed.

Another lovely warp stalker, the Phase Hunter, comes from the depths of the Arcatraz and is part of a boss fight. He is a mossy green color with electric blue stripes. I really do like this skin a lot, and wish it was tamable but yet again....no luck.

The most recent and more well-known case was of Gezzark the Huntress, a black warp stalker with striking lime green stripes. She was part of a quest in Terrokar forest, and could only be tamed when summoned. As of patch 3.0.8 she is also no longer tamable. I had been hoping to get her but then learnt that she was bugged, so I didn't bother to go after her, however after the patch she know works fine and the hunters that did tame her now have a lovely rare black warp stalker. /cry...I should have just gotten her bugs and all.

I am hoping that Blizzard decides to smile upon the warp stalker family and make more of them tamable in the future. It is also worth noting that the warp stalker family is the only one with two skins available to tame. They are a tenacity pet with arguably one of the coolest abilities there is (warp)! Pleeasse Blizzard show some warp love. :)

Dear 3.0.9.9.551; Escada <3's you!!

  • Kindred Spirits (Beast Mastery): This talent now grants 20% pet damage at max rank.
  • Serpent's Swiftness (Beast Mastery): This talent now grants 20% pet attack speed at max rank.
Well this is it folks...the buff to beast mastery that we have been waiting for. (At least the little teaser one before 3.1) Anyway, I am excited for sure. Motomo will be getting some love and be kicking some more butt out there. Hopefully that will give us just enough edge to be accepted back into the hunter fold again. :) Here's to crossing our fingers and toes for the wait until maintenance is over.
