Low Level Pet Leveling

Gah, new blog, and I'm already falling behind on posting. Not that anyone's really reading, its the principle of the thing.

So today's topic is...Low Level Pet Hunting (and not Dulcy's birthday, we hates this day, we do). Why do I bring this up? Because I've been insane enough to do it not once, but twice. Its a long cold lonely process that turns hunters into scary melee type creatures.

Why do we do it?

Vanity.

Once pets were normalized patches ago the most obvious advantage to a particular pet were taken away. No more caster killers (Brokentooth I'm looking at you!), no more overly slow prowl attacks for larger crits. Racial skills and any racial bonuses were all you got. (like cats and ravagers having that 10% dps increase. See Petopia for details on YOUR favorite pet family)

So all hunters have to really go off of is unusual skins. In my case, the RFK black boar, and the newly tameable ghost wolf. And the only way to level our lovely new pet skin? Killing mobs that should give US experience.

My favored spot right now is Zangarmarsh. Usually while I'm doing mining runs. If you've got guildies who don't mind a BM hunter gimping their DPS a bit, instance runs are FABULOUS for leveling.

TBC...
