Well I don’t oppose the idea. Although I think a clear direction for the collars should be made. Do you want to use them as a novelty something or should they really be similar to what items are to a hunter.
Should they be pet bound, or hunter bound; this is a rather important question when you swap pets quite often with the new system.

I mean, this has a very large chance to just become a hunter “relic” and i know from my DK and Shaman that relics in general (before cataclysm) were hard to balance, sometimes really dull and often lead to it just being another stat stick.

That’s why if the collar becomes a dps increasing thing it might turn out to be just another lame mandatory item that might (since we’re the only class) see little variety or where we use the T1 version in later tiers.

If it becomes a vanity thing, where you get like bigger pets or people attacking pets get a little damage or your pet gets happiness from whatever; then it’s a different story.

I’m late to this discussion, but when I was a new hunter, I too expected these collars to be usable on our pets.

Turns out they’re probably just what’s left over after the beast ate someone’s household pet. I guess we looted the beast’s stomach contents

Frost talked to Ghostcrawler at Blizzcon the other day, and he seemed to be open to the idea of giving our pets a “jewelry” slot! Of course if you’re reading this now, you probably already know about it, but here’s the link:

Left out one collar, great for Battlegrounds for those pesky Rogues:

Brown Collar of Ick
meta gem slot

Every time used on an opponent of the opposite faction, it poops on it’s shoes. Leaves an easily trackable scent (similar to Hunter’s Mark) on opponent for 5 min.

It would be awesome if they came out with something that can be made for hunter pets. Any crafting profession that a hunter has should be able to train from certain NPC’s to make one item that their pet can use. Like BS’s-armor, LW’s-armor, Eng’s-some sort of armor weponary, JC’s-collar, Tailor’s-a blanket (why would a hunter be a Tailor). Anyway, I’m sure you get the idea.

It would be awesome!

Frostheim, you’ve done it again, what a fantastic idea, I am always saddened with every patch cause it seems us hard working hunters can barely get our foot in the door for a buff, it seems it’s nerf after nerf for us. Believe me I loved the idea of pet talent trees, and with the 3.3 buff of transfering stats I couldn’t be happier, but it seems I still can’t keep up with mages, If this idea of yours got instituted in some way, I think it could bring hunters up to par (not to say that we need it, since everyone knows hunters conquor all. /flex)

Hopeful for the future of hunters, Dvnomad of firetree

A splendid idea!

i enjoy the idea that our pets should have somewhat of a strength enchanting thing instead of just the talents. I’d love if you could also go to the hair saloon with em and change color of the fur but add it like a buff so it wears of eventualy. always wanted a blue cat =D

i have always wanted them to do this for our pets. heck even let them wear some sort of mail and or leather mask like the elite wolf in helfire citadel that would be cool or imagine a raptor with some kind of armor with additional spec.

Pet armor ftw!!!! =D. I’m pretty sure tho that if we got it, the class as a whole would be nerf’d back into the stone ages. Btw I know locks and mages who constantly complaining how they got a huge nerf. Mages and locks both hit like trucks. I don’t see how they can complain especially when i see them one and two shotting other classes in pvp (including myself, with over 600 resil and 24k). It’s bad enough that hunters generally see a nerf of some sort with every single patch that is released since they ruined BM. It’s even worse that we have to fight with 3, sometimes 4 (depending on what it is) other classes for gear. I guess that’s all a part of dues paid, but it really irritates me that so many other classes complain where there is no reason to complain, and then turn around and gripe about hunters. It may just be my server, but i get constant dirty remarks from other classes from using druid and rogue gear. How is there any reason or room for that when I see, in particular, rogues and druids, roll on hunter gear all the time. All I can say is cry me a river because if anyone wanted it badly enough, they’d be willing to spend the dkp on it. If they didn’t have enough dkp to outbid me, then too bad. I’m pretty sure everyone in here is in agreement with me.

I’ve always felt that pets should get closer to mount size as they leveled with their hunter. Armor plates, collars and size are appropriate and I hear that warlock pets are getting all new skins.

Its a bit cheezy (think Battlecat/He-man) but man I’d love to ride off on my armored cat after laying the beats in Wintergrasp. Perhaps Blizz would consider the Collar if we asked for more animations/armor?
