BigRedKitty: Worms
Aug 28th, 2008
Daniel Howell contributes BigRedKitty, a column with strategies, tips and tricks for and about the Hunter class, sprinkled with a healthy dose of completely improper, sometimes libelous, personal commentary.
Worms. We're not gonna mess up the pronunciation of THIS one. Yeeha!
But really, worms? Hunter pets? Tenacity pets?
Worm-Tanks, that's the concept Blizzard wants to sell us. Are you buying? How about you watch our little movie and then make up your mind.
You are invited to download the YouTube version (81MB) of this movie here, and the full-sized version (295MB) here. They're big files because the movie is almost ten minutes long; we wanted to give worms a fair-shake.
As always, a great big Thank You to the WoW Insider editors for allowing us to publish this movie both here and on our little blog at the same time!
From his video guides to Karazhan For Hunter Dummies, nobody covers raid Hunters like BRK. Looking for more Hunter goodness? Check out our non-raid Hunter column, Scattered Shots or the WoW Insider Directory of Hunter Guides.Recent Posts

When patch 3.0 hits, everybody and their mother will be running to Ungoro to get their Devilsaur. Nuts to that, I'm going to Silithus and getting me a worm and a silithid.

Nuh uh... I was going to get mine in Netherstorm >_> I thought as everyone will be getting Devilsaurs, I'd try and get one with a Unique skin as I would stand out a little, then again this vid is causing me to have second thoughts.
I guess I am going to have to wait until I see the trees for myself before I decide 100% I think.

Wasp and a Rhino for me, unless they buff my kitty.

Isn't Tyrantus lvl71?
Anyway, like Pudds I'll be looking at a Wasp come 3.0 and then a Rhino once Wrath hits.

Not all of us...I'm planning to tame Gezzarak for my Tenacity pet, especially if she still has that awesome lightning entrance once tamed.

First off, I've become a huge fan of the BRK videos series, thank you for the information and adding an enjoyable listening experience. Thank you.
I can't wait to see what my hunter will be able to train!

My housemate loves the worms. I've been trying to tell him that worms just aren't cool.

If the worm can't run underground like they do in Outland, I don't want one. >:-|

It makes me want to level my hunter just so that I can have a pet worm named Shai'Hulud.

"Can't swing a big worm out in Nagrand without running into a death knight"
I about died laughing at this point. Seriously though, looks like my hunter is about to get some more play time.

I had a Devilsaur pet for all of 5 minutes. It's like being followed around by a spastic bass drummer. He lasted from Un'goro to Silithus where I grabbed one of the starship troopersish centripars.
The stutter shot from the worms and chimeras is noticeably worse on any mob that paths around. Might take them 30 secs to actually engage while they find range.

wow. Looks like the tank call has been answered for instances. With Warriors, Druids, Paladins, Death Knights, and now hunter pets tanks wont be in such high high demand.

BRK... I have never liked BM hunters. I play a marksman hunter. I just don't like BM hunters. But since starting to watch your videos I have finally decided that all BM hunters aren't jerks. Also because of your column I am going to roll BM for leveling in Northrend, after my 3 year hate of BM. Kudos to you.
Btw I LOVE BRK!!!!!! Also your enthusiasm about worms makes me smile.

Wow.

most ppl are BM cause it does the most damage out of any spec, so you hated on them cause they do more dps than you?

Lloyd: Nope. My friend Harry and I are saving up money for a pet store.
Mary: That's nice.
Lloyd: I got worms!
Mary: I beg your pardon?
Lloyd: That's what we're gonna call it. I got worms!

According to the pet talent calculator on WoWhead.com, tenacity pets can learn dash....did they change it or what?

Good question. I was under the impression the dash would be a common talent that all pets could learn.
