FAQ
Which new hunter pet families does WoW Forever have?
The Fox. Owls are called Birds of Prey now, and eight families get a new ability. There are no exotic pets that need a talent.
Do hunter pets scale with my stats?
Yes, Blizzard confirmed it: your pet takes stats from you, among them health from your Stamina, part of your armor and your critical strike chance.
How many pets can a hunter keep?
Three slots in the beta: one active and two in the stable. Keep one slot free for learning new ranks.
Can I tame a beast above my level?
No. Since the hotfix of September 24 you only tame beasts up to your own level.
Do all pets attack at the same speed?
The base speed is 2.0 seconds now. Beasts that were faster or slower in Classic come with a passive trait that makes up the difference.
