I am absolutely frothing with excitement.
I love pets!
And I’ve always wanted a pet battle rez! Just give me a pet Innervate ability and I’ll be golden!
But now I need to think of at least 3 of my current stable that has to go.
So, water walking, a ress and oh my how many cool things! :-O
I just read that Fen Striders are tamable; they’re part of the water strider family. Also added a couple of new glyphs (see above).
I confirmed on the beta… yes, Fen Striders are indeed tamable. :) I’m going to have a stampede of Fen Striders!
/squee :)
It is nice to see that 10% SP buff coming into our arsenal – stop all the caster qq when there are no demos or eles in your team.
Pet brez? yes please.
However, pet love aside.. those glyphs for explosive trap and scatter are AMAZING. explosive will now be useful in non-aoe situations :P
and the scatter? just another thing that we have asked for and recieved… Should we start asking for dual wield pistols more?
