Pet Battle Add-ons

WARCRAFT PET FOUNDRY BLOGGING CARNIVAL for SEPTEMBER

 

This is my submission for the Warcraft Pet Foundry Blogging Carnival which is located at http://warcraftpetfoundry.blogspot.com/  Rez from http://eviscerated.net/ started the warcraftpetfoundry site as well as a sub reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/warcraftpetbattles/.  The eviscerated site has a great podcast associated with where you can always count on some great pet battle talk.  Please check out all of these sites for some of the best pet battle topics out today.

 

The topic for this month is Pet Battle Add-ons.  I get all of my add-ons at http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/category/battle-pets. 

 I honestly thought I only used 3 or 4 addons and when checking the curse add-on I realized it was more like 7.  I'm going to list each addon here and you can decide if it looks like something you would use.  Some of the descriptions are copied directly from the curse site. 

 

1. Battle Pet BreedID: http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/battle_pet_breedid This add-on is at the top of my list.  If I'm trying to look for a tank or build a speed team this is the add-on that I use.  With so many different breeds of pets available, you want to make sure the pet you capture is the right one.

 

2. PetTracker: http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/pettracker 

Displays the locations of all pets, stables and tamers on the world map.

Tracks your progress of catching pets in your current zone.

Shows the rarity of pets in battle and warns you of upgrades.

Displays all your enemies and allies abilities as you fight.

3. PetJournal Enhanced: http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/pet-journal-enhanced
Pets now show the their predicted Level 25 stats in the pet card.

For both breed information and level 25 stat prediction; Grey text indicates a low confidence in the prediction. Gold text indicates strong confidence

Pet names are colored by their rarity.

Shows each pets rarity in its border in the pet journal list for non wild pets.

Shows each pets specialization is the pet journal list as an icon showing their highest stat. Now you know at a glance if your pet is tanky, speedy, or powerful.

The add-ons listed above are the ones that I can't live without, the next few are nice additions but I can still get by without them.

4. Auto Safari Hat: http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/auto-safari-hat  Simple add-on that automatically equips your safari hat when you go into a pet battle. 

5.  Daily Tamer Check: http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/daily-tamer-check  Adds a small icon to your map.  When you mouse over the tamers that award bags as part of their daily are listed. This will show you which tamers that you have battled each day. 

6. Collect Me: http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/collect_me  Collect Me keeps track of your mounts, companions and titles in the game and can show you what mounts, companions, titles you're missing with additional information on where to get them. It can also summon companions and mounts randomly from a user defined list.

Thanks for taking the time to check out my list of add-ons and I hope that you will find something useful.  Happy Hunting!
