Has anyone seen one of these? cause i havent seen one anywere.

Just tamed a level 60 one in Zangarmarsh. Came with no skills but looks wicked.

For tbc i'm gonna make a blood elf hunter and i'm gonna go BM what pet to get?

I trained one yesterday. First impression was cool because it drained my mana and used arcane explosion against me on my first training attempt. Had to freeze it to successfully train it on my second attempt.

Tried it out on a few local mobs and it doesnt hold aggro well. If I stayed back, counted to about 6 seconds after it's first hit, I could finish off the mob before it came inside minimum gun range or at least on my first melee hit.

I wont be using it in instances because I dont want it using any AoE to disrupt CC.

I got it mainly to try at PvP against clothies. A little less mana for the healing priests, with some nice AoE damage. I'll have to wait to see if I keep it long term.

If you are high enough level to tame this pet i figure you should already know that it doesnt keep hardly any of the abilties it might use against you.

Arcane explosion, Gone.
Mana drain, Gone.

the only abilties it has are the ones you might teach it now because it has no racial abilties like the wolf (furious howl) and the cat (prowl)

Wow. This thing has amazing health. In PvE, this thing can probably take so many hits its not even funny, making it amazing for tanking against any casters you might face, but it looks like its not good for PvP, as the Mana Drain is gone as of the taming. Seriously, if you don't know that pets don't keep skills like that by the time you get high enough to tame one of these, you might want to reroll if you don't think its too late. I learned that pets don't keep those skills at about level 13. Wow.

These are some of the coolest looking pets in the game, but sadly...also some of the worst. They are "cater" types so lose alot over other pets. They also come with almost no skills. For a BM spec hunter you are much better off going with something else. Sucks because they look so cool. As far as the ones in underbog, I haven't tried so will have to, but still..no skills to tank with. Personally I use a carrion bird, Trechela (I think was the name) the unique two headed one in the bone waste. Bite keeps up some damage while screech keeps agro against all but the best prot warriors. At 66-68 I was using this pet to MT mana tombs (160 shadow resist, 204 buffed will outlast any warrior when it comes to spells) becuase the warriors couldn't keep up.

Please fix this nice pet blizz, either take away the caster stats or give em the mana drain!

I just tamed one of these at Slave Pens, i stole it from one of the observers there, was quite hard to tame, but i got.
Petopia doesn´t say anything about this particular pet. Can anyone enlighten me please.
thanx!

Where do I tame this Nether Ray what level im now actually 51 lvl hunter lz tell me

Rogue lewtz

could you get one at the bloodelf starting place?

This pet sucks, i got mine at 62 trained it up to 70... complete waste of my time, it can't even learn any decent skkils. In my opinion get something like a boar/owl/carrion for skills.          Elite Critter Dmg!

To all the people above who dont know what caster stats are on a pet, there is only one type of netherray that does not have caster stats and thats the lvl 64 elites in underbog.  Non caster stat nether ways make amazing tank pets, they can easily tank 4 mobs at once with their amazing hp.  Not to mention how unique it is for a hunter not to have a cat, boar, or ravager.

wtf is caster stats plz pst!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

were u get these things

You can get Nether Rays in Zangarmarsh, but I don't recommend the ones there because of their caster attributes. The ones without caster attributes are the Coilfang Ray, which is in The Skave Pens, or the Fen Ray, which is in The Underbog.

Slave** Pens, my bad.

Very bad pet i think, i think 10% armo is very important, without mend pet, ray had 2k hp when fighting 2non-cast mobs, so, it's also a bad tank

Oh really? Because I tamed "Count" Ungula last weekend, and he was rolling with 5.2K health without any ranks of Great Stamina... And he was doing pretty damn well for a caster pet. I wonder why the one you tamed only had 2K...

Yeah, the DPS isn't all that great. I have a level 50 BM hunter with King Bangalash and it's DPS can easily rival this nether ray's. Caster pets are good for looks, but performace wise not so much.

Your choice though: Form? or Function?

can som1 tell me witch instance the red ray is in slave pens or underbog and if so can u put up a screen shot plz and is the red ray a coilfang ray or a fen ray i no one of them looks like the nether ray im just not sure witch one is red and witch one is the normal color thx

This post is just general pet information! It regards the stable system. If you take out a pet while you are mounted and replace it with another one, (put one in, and take one out while mounted) can end up doubling your pet and deleting the one that wasn't out! I lost my main pet because of this!

Since Nether Rays have the highest health out of all the pet groups and the lowest armor, this pet will make the best tank for an enemy that does heavy magic damage out of all the pets.
It will also gain the most health from spirit bond.

But as far as tanking an enemy that does high physical damage, it should be about average.

People who say this isn't a good pet aren't actually loooking, and the people who are going to Zangarmarsh and going ZOMG itz a Nether RAy! I iz gonna tame it are also not paying attention, the Nether Rays that are not in instances are all casters IE nferior Pets, If you are going to get a Nether Ray, get one either from Reg. UB or normal or Heroic SP (depending on lvl) This is a great soloeing pet adn I also use it as a raiding pet, The extra health really helps in fights like Curator etc. being Marks its hard to keep my pet alive during those fights but not this guy, hes a tough little bugger. Nether Rays may not be right for most people, but some for some people they make great pets, so please Think before rushing out and taming one.

Birds and bears are pretty good to lvl up with.

chek this out

i think this is cool lookin
