Frerocity > Tenacity?

Good Wednesday morning to everyone! I just finished my weekly WoW play (Wifey home for the next few nights!) and wanted to update every one on Lestunter's progress through Azeroth.

So last night I ended up making it to level 21, and just got to Darkshire to start questing. A couple of days ago I found a spectacular hunter blog at Warcraft Hunters' Union, and in it I discovered an article, Best Leveling Pet, which lets us know with good evidence that Ferocity pets are actually better than Tenacity pets for leveling. So I'm making the switch over to Ferocity.

After A LOT of research (thanks to a boring day at work!) The only thing that needs changing is, obviously the pets talents. So, from now on, I'm going to note differences I would make using each type of pet. There really isn't a lot of difference from your perspective. Just a vast difference in the pet's.

I haven't nabbed me a Ferocity pet yet, but there are some level 20-21 wolves in NW Duskwood that I'm going to grab the next time I play. Then, I'll see if I can tell a difference in leveling speed, etc.

I'm really doing pretty well with my bear, but it does make sense that if you kill stuff quicker, you level quicker. So, without further ado, let's get caught up on your Ferocity Pet's talent build for levels 20-29:

Tier 1

Cobra Reflexes - 2/2 - Increases your pet's attack speed by 30%. Your pet will hit faster but each hit will do less damage
This is a good talent to improve pet DPS, which is what we want to focus on with a Ferocity pet. Put your first 2 points here.

Dash - 1/1 - Increases your pet's movement speed by 80% for 16 sec
This talent is just to get to the next tier, feel free to take Great Stamina 1/3 if you like

Great Stamina - 0/3 - Increases your pet's total Stamina by 4/8/12%
Good talent, but we want to focus on damage dealing talents

Natural Armor - 0/2 - Increases your pet's armor by 5/10%
This is definitely a good talent, and we'll be back later to pick it up
