Zul'Aman Beasts!

Yes - all the other tameable beasts are "nothing special" in terms of looks (the red dragonhawk being untameable was sort of a let down too, I always thought the red ones are the best looking of the bunch).

So yes, the Amani Lynxes look like the tan lynxes in the BE starting zone - the TAN ones, not the red ones (or the ones in Netherstorm or Blade's Edge), the Amani cubs look like Broken Tooth or any other yellow cougar/mountain lion. The crocolisks look like the ones from Stranglethorn (haha, like anyone cares anyway). The bear is the only thing that looks different.

Bummer.... guess I'll wait to level my red Springpaw Cub until patch.

But I did get it from level 3 to level 27 in one SV run though =)

Arent Bears getting a a buff in 2.3? Like a charge ability or dash? I'd like to see a "Paw Swipe" or "Bear Claw" that has a 10% CoH to stun for 1sec or something along those lines..maybe bleed dmg as an alternative. I think the CoH stun would be OP in beast spec though :P

So no cool looking tamable mobs other than the bear =( Why the hell do they use that plain blah tan skin for all these cats... I wish they would make cooler skins. I think they like tamed mobs to be average looking. Hawkbane was cool, cause its only white cat at 70, then it was bugged and blizz took it out. Hopefully when you search farther you will find more =) GL and thanks for keeping us updated Fritti!!

I managed to tame one of those yesterday, and it's pretty fun to have around. VERY simple to get in a normal raid setting. Just have to work your way to the first boss. There are 2-3 sets of bears you can attempt on. Just mark one to tame and trap it while the raid kills the other. Simple as that. I know bears aren't that good for DPS, but damn it looks cool. (shrunken heads for earmuffs!)

I think they are being careful to also give normal-looking pets. There are certain skins which are either rare, or new, or just look nice which people will want. Not all of them are flashy, white, spotted, or striped. I can understand the draw of some of those lynxes, they're pretty.

Sure, there's the "whoa, awesome bear" factor. At the same time, sometimes you just want something aesthetically pleasing.

It's sa shame they didn't allow the golden dragon hawk to be tamable, though.
Oh well, wouldn't know how to get him or where to keep him

I posted this in a different thread haven't seen an answer. Has anyone tried to level a pet in 2.3PTR ? I remember they were going to "make this easier" but I haven't read anything about it.

I understand wanting to keep it normal-looking, just hoping to see a mob(rare/elite) with a diff skin. I haven't seen the mobs in ptr, so im guessing the tan lynx are the same looking ones that are found in lower lvs? Good in one way(dont have to grind 50lvs to get it to 70), bad in another(nothing different than we've already seen).
Most ppl on my server use either cat(black striped or white) or ravager (purple or blue). Just gets old seeing same ones everywhere. I like solid color mobs too. Had Humar, panther, and the tan lion. I didn't mean to imply I wanted to see all kinds of crazy colored mobs lol, I should of explained a little better =)

Slivers,

I haven't gotten around to much testing because of the stable bug currently. I haven't been on Test today and might have some time to check leveling later this weekend.
