Idea for new pets in next expansion
Since the new expansions seems to be set in the Crystal Desert, I can only really imagine getting a Hydra or a Siege Devourer. Wouldn’t mind the Siege Devourer because it may as well be your own personal battering ram and catapult. Not taking the environment into consideration, I would want a Dire Wolf; a revamped version of our current canine pet.
speaking of massive animals such as hydras, siege devourers, and potentially even Junundu Worms, I could see a special type of pet being a thing. I actually even mentioned the idea in another thread.
Basically, they’d be limited to this particular elite spec, and that’s largely fine, but essentially, they’d have 170% or so the stats for a standard pet (which should put them on slightly above the DPS that a ranger currently has, based on the DPS charts that someone ran, as well as make them quite tanky) in exchange for not having a second pet; the F4 becomes a heal and condition cleanse for your current pet, or a revival if they’re down. Give it a defiance bar and you’re set.
Pretty simple, and it’d make for a very effective tanking and damage spec in things like raids or dungeons, as a creature that large would likely have cleaving or AoE attacks, and be tough enough to tank several enemies at once, including bosses.
Snakes!
Venomous ones and constrictor ones. Conditions like poison, immobilize etc
