Ranking EVERY Exotic Hunter Pet! | Best and Worst Exotic Pets | World of Warcraft Shadowlands 9.0.5

"I was trippin'" Lmao. Hilarious

Please help me. I have been playing WOW since about 2008, had 4 lvl 120 (I think that was the cap) alts and maybe 6 or 7 100s. Anyway, I say that to say I have been playing a long time. My issue is that my lvl 60 primary alt is a BM hunter with Exotic Beasts passive spell but I cannot train exotic pets, like the Primal Devilsaur on Isle of Giants or Feathermanes or any other exotics! What is going on? Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Are you sure about devilsaur feast? It looks like it's instant and recovers the health/focus over 6 seconds with a 1 min cooldown, not a 6 second concentration for your pet. If that's the case it would be much more useful. Yeah it is only usable every minute, but for free get a 20 focus and 20% heal every minute if there are humanoid corpses around would be great. For just topping off if nothing else when levelling.

You're cute.

Love your channel!! Thank you, you are a total BOSS

So much variety in spirit beasts but no Spirit Goat knocks them down to A tier.

What about best pets for raiding? And btw, I grabbed a boar for my new hunter to level with. The purple one from aszuna, he even pops his own shell, A LOT! It is really a little power house; it grabs agro off the tank so bad though. I call it a ‘tank checker’, lol. I grabbed one on my main hunter for when she is soloing.

Most exotic abilities were bugged could try to abandon and re tame one and see if it comes back cause my water strider lost its water walk ability in the prepatcj and then one day a buddy told me it was still there and my pet was just bugged.

Loving my clefthoof for solo content, keep in mind though that [Blood of the Rhino] isnt unlocked until 60, maybe Blizzard thought it was too OP for leveling :D

Oondasta will forever be my favorite hunter pet

spirit beast should still be S tier, making clefthooves for solo, aqiri for pvp and spirit beast for pve the best choices. putting them in A seems confusing for newer hunters. (the defense CD from the tenacity also works really well in raids/m+ because hunters lacking really useful defense CDs otherwise)

Chromaggus, from BWL is my favorite pet for PvE.

can chimeras cleave while frostbreath?

Hey brother, are the aqiri goliaths still available for taming? im new to hunter and they look metal as hell. Great vid love being able to get good guides for my class!

Honestly, the exotic abilities all suck really. As far as their impact, theres a few that are useful, but yeah, nothing game changing that makes you think that your pet is a badass without your kill command.

Also, corehounds s tier. Love by corehounds for just about everything other than pvp. But im not saying youre wrong just sharing my own thoughts, not trying to be an ass or nothin lol. It doesnt get the hp and heal buff, but its defensive is auto used, as all can be made to do, and the ai is really good about using it when its hp drops below a set threshold. But its also only a 1 min cd instead of the 2 min clefthoof defensive. Thats why i tend to roll with it, but its nice to know the clefthoofs are an option now. Honestly its getting harder to match with the corehounds without using the same old xmog all the time lol.

Fun fact: When i used to play WoW WAY back when, i was hunting for Loque'nahak. Call me lazy, call me spoiled. But i just couldn't wait HOURS for it, so i sent in a ticket. GM came, and we talked abit. I made him laugh. He spawn the pet for me :-) He was a chad

Griffon and bats are s tier 100%

Every time this guy say if it always reminds me of the saying my grandma use to say: "and if frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their rumps every time they jumped".

Chimeras have the unique ability to let hunters kill Viscidus with no issue XD

I think the worm and chimera would do good in a m+ setting but I have no data to support that I’m just thinking m+ is basically all aoe besides bosses

Stone house used to be able to BR players

I'm a PvPer and I like worms :>
CATTERPILLURRSS * ,., *

Clefthooves are the best for any PVE content, even beyond solo content, in mythic+ and raids I often find that clefthooves are capable of more dps than other pets mostly due to the fact that their special and exotic abilities are passive, which means less time between casts of their main attack skill. The extra tankiness also comes as a bonus when the tank needs some room to breathe, is kiting, or when the tank dies and someone needs to take the aggro for a few seconds while the tank walks back or is waiting for a brezz. I have Faultine as my main pet, the Draenor armored mammoth as my secondary, and my mount is the Beastlord's war wolf, makes for a pretty amazing combo.

Idk if its cuz I'm high but the devilsaur ability says eats corpses and restores focus over 6 seconds but you say it takes 30. Am I missing something? Just getting into hunter, your vids have been a big help.

The worms are really tricky but i like them. When u borrow underground ypur pet drops his aggro, or not?
So the mob group starts running towards your char and out of the borrow attack. So i didnt used it. Maybe i didnt had croul on at my pet because i tested that in my beginner times or it changed a little bit since.
Will test it again the next days because it seems a funny thing for big mob group in M+ when stomp is still possible in underground Mode

Just so you know all your videos helped me ALOT!! Thank you very much! 😍

I absolutely love my clefthoof!! Pookie!!

Just watched your “5 reasons to undead video” your gonna blow up. I’ll see you in a “asmongold reacts” soon

Dude you forgot to mention Spirit Walk - pet stealths and first attack from pet gets a boots in damage by 20%. Am glad to see you ranked them S tier because they deserve it but then you take them down to A tier ;/ I am completely disappointed . Also the spirit pulse , not being useful in most situations is still good in pvp if the person you are fighting relies on harmful effects to kill your pet

I'm happy I discovered your channel.

What pet do you recommend to be a stable pet? Currently I have a raptor but I don't know if that's optimal

real talk; you're cool af. preciate you. keep doing hunter shit. harmony

We can’t forget the importance of your hunter pet matching your battle pet and your mount :) lol. I like the core hound personally for pve

Really loving the content. I am new to WOW and love Hunters, all your videos are helping me understand the class. Keep up the great work

Do you think bm hunter is played for pve?

Thanks for that. Interesting and informative as usual! I don't think I've ever tried some of them, collected yes, but never used! My main exotics are (fortunately ... ha!) in the S/A tier - my old standby Gondria since Wrath, along with a Clefhoof, Ravasaur, a wolf and Silithid. I hadn't considered the Chimera - might be worth trying in the more tightly packed epic BGS - Ashran or AV - the cone might actually hit a few. Same with the worm. Actually had a guy attack me in camo while I was defending a flag with a worm and I didn't know what was going on.... pretty cool.

Yeah, i checked the Petopia site. Pterrordaxes are the ONLY exotic with no exotic ability. I wonder what happened.

they pretty much relegated exotics into nothing when they made all pets do the same dmg wise awhile ago. then came bfa to seal the deal. i've noticed something, that every exp. a different family becomes go to for best overall. one thing that changed in bfa was i also noticed that new pets introduced in an exp used to hit harder, and have better survival. i tested it. thats not the case anymore. kinda sad that the perks of BM were eliminated.

The more I think about it the more I think worms should have been B tier, and corehounds should've been A tier 🤔 these lists are tough! I'll probably think differently tomorrow lol
