Top 10 Over Powered Player Pets in World of Warcraft

The spirit beast in sholozar basin, believe the first one ever in the game, I spent SOOOOOO long hunting for it. Still have it, to this day.

18% leech is better than spirit's heal.

Clefthooves are best 10% armor and 20% healing!

"In PvP you could just stick a gorilla on a spell caster" I mean, if a big ass gorilla came charging at me to monkey stomp my butt into the ground I probably would consider anything I was doing 'interrupted' lol

So I have Thai spotted cat, and he’s like see through. Not the spirit beast, but idk like he’s be constantly stealthed, but he’s not. If I stealth him he becomes hard to see. And I can’t remember where I got him from. Anyone know where this pet can be? He’s white and spotted. Older model. And is see through.

In Mists of Pandaria, pet abilities didn't have shared CDs. You could have multiple Spirit Mend pets. You could cast it with one pet, dismiss that one and then swap to the next pet and repeat. Essentially changing the 30 second CD to 6 seconds if you didn't mind that all you were doing was casting Dismiss Pet.

I am a BM Hunter. I always bring a Spirit Beast into raids knowing it's going to come in handy in situaltions like if the healer can't keep up. Every little bit helps.

Rhino at the flags was the best hunter pet in PVP till they killed the fun. Before that was cat in stealth when it had a stun.

Why is Sporebat not in the 1st place?

Okay, I just drank a beer, but I love you!

I played a dk in wrath. The number of times i pissed off my guildies popping army on dragons 😂 specifically caverns of time

Killing a pet in arena is definitely not a noob thing to do, especially during Wrath. If you can manage to take out an important pet it can shift the tempo of the match completely. Good healers would keep the pets alive best they could.

I believe BM Hunter's Spirit Beasts spirit mend was nerfed by 90% not 2/3rds.

seems like they just ruin the classses

It really seems to be many sneaky things that can happen with taming & dismissing pets. reminds me of the stories when they spread the plauge in vanilla by dismissing diseased pets and summoning them in populated areas, or my rare cat that from wotlk that had an odd thing that it would just die randomly by itself a minute or so after getting tamed. (probably had to do with it's spawn & despawn timers remaining even when it became a pet).

The Disgusting Oozeling seems like it should have been on this list

I've had two crazy pet glitches.
My pet had some glitched Wild Growth in Cata that was ticking for over 1 million healing a second. Same pet also ended up keeping all buffs from Madness of Deathwing fight outside of the instance.

You forgot the all time over powered pets in WoW history...any pet that was dismissed while it had the corrupted blood disease from fighting Hakkar 🙂

cata hunter pet design was the best system

With the departure of madseason its good to see someone picking up the torch. Ive been loving youre videos

Yauj wasn't a noticeable bug? 🤔

Stampede on release doesn't hold a candle to AotD?? I have vids of me taking on a group of people 5v1 no problem Spirit mend with 4 or 5 ticks running would fully heal you every tick throw in a core hound for lust and lynx rush it was shitting on people xD had the lilly pad and the half flask item from rares around this time and fondly remember being a juggernaut and huge groups of alliance trying to hunt me and a few friends down got glad with a 3 dps team around this time some of my best memories on wow

warlock's imp with the debuff from blackwing lair i think it was. get debuff on imp, banish it, resummon at the bank, and kill everyone with the bomb.

I’ve had different list on my mind:
- AV wolves faster than epic mounts
- Duskwood wolf doing shadow damage
- cool spirit wolf that could be tamed only in group, haste, drums, heroism because it spawned only for seconds.

I'm sorry, but I have to be clear about this... are you/is he saying "hitting like trunks?"

I never knew about the bad manners bug. That is actually a really funny feature, just a dude running around killing folks with disposable monkeys.

Bro what was that fps

Worth to note with monkeys is that Blizzard also added a feature that when you tame a pet it will scale with your level, putting it at 5 levels under you. So hunters were just dissmissing their monkeys to summon the next one faster, thus loosing their pet. Because of this they were legit staying on the isle with monkeys continuosly taming them in between arena queues

"...before they ran out of monkeys to abandon." That's so sad but also hilarious.

Still think it’s bullshit Blood DK’s don’t have access to army of the dead anymore

Shamans history in a nutshell: "and it got nerfed."

Honestly, I feel that hunters need some dedicated PVP pets, like pets that are great for PVP. Though I once mained a hunter, I never once cared about PVP and because of the limited stable slots, I kept one pet that was a praire wolf. Though it was cool to see that Legion added account bound books that allowed hunters to tame the likes of dragons and hybrid animals, though I would like to have that just not in legion. I would like to play as a wind serpent tamer just again not Legion.
Some of these pets sound great for PVE, though I am gonna stop before wanting the desire to gush on how to rework it more so. Like for the rhino sure it has the stampede but what if it looses half health it they stampede one person and on the minimap, the animal gets highlighted.
Though I maybe wrong but for a long while there was a short time when pet training was still a thing, certain categories of pets could learn something special.

While hardly this broken, King Bangladesh was possibly the first overpowered pet😜

I remember watching a vid from the LK beta where somebody tamed one of the big silithids, maybe Yauj, and when they summoned it, it hadn't scaled down at all, so it was like Godzilla stomping around Dalaran clipping through buildings and lagging everybody to death.

About army of the dead during WotLK, the only class/spec which didn't care was the protection paladin, it was my main and I laughed each time a dk used that. I remember once three frost dk at once attacked me in Warsong with lich form, three army of the dead and their ghouls, ended up killing them easily due to the auto-crit of holy spells on undead and holy stun aoe, got out of that fight with 85% hp left and still being able to use Lay on Hands and Divine Shield, but protection paladin was quite op in itself during WotLK ...

Druids have typhoon. So you can cloak has the cat and just blast everyone off a cliff, it's what I use to do

i miss the old stampede was good fun times

Forget to talk about Broken tooth..with attack speed 1.0.Casters hated that Pet.

You still can't cast army in arena 😭

I miss the original army of the dead and shadow of death passive Too many crybabies complained about dks being too op so we get shafted. Its just disappointing.

vIDEO IS NICE BRO BUT COULD BE BETTER IF U SAY EACH PET LOCATION ON MAP

In WOTLK, spirit beasts didn't have the Spirit Mend ability yet, I think it was spirit strike similar to a Boomkin's moonstrike.

My Hunter tamed a pet called Quillen, back in Pandaria. It had a most unique ability to RESURRECT a Dead Player back to life. XD

I guess you never saw the rextroy video of the pet that didn't get the levelcrunch when everyone else did?

Lol. Ok no 3 was just absurd.

5 pets, for 20 seconds, with all 5 pet abilities. And the devs actually implemented that abomination of a talent lol. BS. They knew damn well what they were doing ha.

Mist was retarded. Everyone was everything at once lol.

Im surprised no mention of vanilla bugged lupos dealing only shadow damage which ignores armor so it hit like a truck it was fun on vanilla p servers as a BM hunter pop beastial wrath and it hit for 900s at level 40

U forgot the realy Most OP pet. The invisible pet u couldnt target or Hit. Beginning in cata, Same area AS Crossroads but in the south. U could let explode a beast through a Quest and when u tame IT right, u Had a Ring of fire AS pet which could solo everything

The blind that monkeys had was so op in pvp. I remember running WG/AV as horde and ruining people with my monkey with a fez. GTs GTs

I miss the special abilities my pets had, Blizz really killed the uniqueness of the classes with all their tinkering

Bro killing off a bm hunters pet or locks pets is huge In pvp
