    If you have a good-looking spider, you'll get lots of nice feedback.

    Also, Spiders are great DPS. They have very high damage per hit. A BM Spider can outdamage most Non-BM cats.

      Mother Fang is a levl 10 elite spider in one of the Elwynn mines if you didnt know. I would like to tame her as a permanent pet, except im an orc hunter so i have a problem. Has anyone gotten Mother Brood and if so is she good enough to try to get her?

    If you have a spider and find it very weak, this may be why.

    A few types of wind serpent and spider pets have abnormal stats.  Instead of the usual stamina, agility and strength scores, they have higher int and spirit (which is useless) and lower stats in the places that matter to the pets. 

    Currently, the spiders known with these caster stats are Lady Sathrah and Krethis Shadowspinner.

    If you want your pet to be the best it can be, it's best to avoid these two and pick up another that looks the same.  Krethis is easily replaced with the black widows in Duskwood and Sathrah with  spiders from Ashenvale, Arathi or the Western Plaguelands.

    (Credit to Petopia.  More info on the Petopia caster stats page)

    (Personal note:  Spiders are cool, I wish there were more of the them used.  The Spawn of Mar'li from ZG has a 1.4 swing speed and the Spire Spiderling from UBRS has a 1.5 swing speed, both are pretty nice.)

    You dont learn the new bite spell from the trainer u learn it from taming pets that have bite skill.  Look for a beast that has bite lvl 4 and then tame him long enough to gain the new spell; go out and attack some things with it and he will eventually gain the new skill... then dump the new pet and then just teach the new spell to your pet if u have the training points.

    Look for lvl 30 beasts to tame... one of them will have it...

    I've had my spider since level 10 (currently 41) can't even remember where he came from, I think it was Loch Modan. Back when I got him I had no intention of keeping him, and as I couldn't come up with a decent name I called him Bobby. Now I cant imagine ever having another pet, hell I'd feel guilty if I gave him up, its odd how attached one can become to a virtual spider haha.

      I've suggested to Blizzard that they give the Spider an ability called "Dark Poison" - Which grants the Spider +30 Shadow Damage on each hit for 20 seconds. 2min cooldown. What do you Spider lovers think?

      My other ideas are:

      "Blood Craze" - Which Grants the Spider +50 life stealing each attack for 20seconds. 2min cooldown.

      "Arachnophobia" - Which causes the target to run in fear for 4 seconds. 3min Cooldown.

      "Cocoon" - Which causes the spider to spray web at its victim cocooning it and imobilising it for 2.5 seconds. 1min cooldown

      What can you guys come up with?

They have only one skill and cant even be stacked up with beastail swiftness or things like that. I personally think that Blizzard needs to revise how they made these truly awesome pets so that they can be used for more than just looks. We want some pvp skills (scorpids get posion, why not us?)

    i was looking forward to having a glassweb spider at a higher lvl but because they can only get 1 actual skill (except growl) its kinda put me off i think spiders should have a web attack that roots the target in place for a few seconds or some kind of poison attack that stacks up to do nice damage like Scorpids get, or Spiderss could have charge or Stealth but sticking them with just 1 skill is not really right i mean there are pets like Carrion birds and cats that get 4 even 5 skills and then there are pets that dont even have as much bonus points in health armour and damage as cats and carrion birds that dont even get decent skills to make up for it. Its not really that fair Blizzard should make a skill called Shadow Meld for spiders which is like stealth and they should make a skill called Web shot that roots the target in place for 1-5 secs depending on rank of skill that would make pets a bit higher quality howether you would see them a bit more offen with hunters it would give the poor little blood thirsty critters a fighting chance in PvP and PvE

    since the spider dont have dash, it would be nice to have an numbing poison. slowing movement and attack speed of the target with x for y seconds. stackable like scorpid poison.
    then we would have a nice pet to pop out in instances, when we kite. also good for pvp trying to get distance. but as log as the spider is slow and deal medium/high dps, it wont be overpowered - just usefull

      Okay, first of all, if you want to play know-it-all, you need backup.

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daddy_long-legs_spider

      Daddy Long Legs are considered a true spider:

      Another misconception is that the daddy long-legs spider is not a true spider. This misconception arises from the multiple uses of the name daddy long-legs. It is the harvestman (which is also called daddy long-legs) which is an arachnid but not a true spider. The daddy long-legs spider is a true spider.

      It also says that they have venom:

      There is an urban legend stating that daddy long-legs spiders have the most potent venom of any spider, but that their chelicera (fangs) are either too small or too weak to puncture human skin ... Either pholcid venom is not toxic to humans or there is a musculature difference between the two arachnids, with recluses, being hunting spiders, possessing stronger muscles for fang penetration.

      I love when people think they know everything and don't even research shit about it. :) Have a nice day.

      You really need to look at all the data.

      How To:
      0) Stable your main pet, as you need to have no pet on hand when taming a new one.
      1) Find a MOB with the skill you wish to learn.
      2) Tame MOB.
      3) Fight with new pet until you see a command line saying you have learned a new skill, should be the one you have not got yet. Some MOBs have several skills, so check out beast lore first and your skill list. I recently caught one new pet and learned 3 skills from them, but the last took 10min to register.
      4) Drop the pet, pick up your main pet from the stable and teach them the skill, if they have enough points and if they have not already learned 3 specialities.

        I agree about there is to many hunters with pets that are common, but we shall not forget that Blizz made it very difficult for hunters to pick pets just because of the "looks".

        Now, when the latest patch came it made it possible to have more pets due to more avilable stable spots.

        I tamed Terokkarantula - the enormous elite spider in Terrokar, she looks awesome even that she ofc not keep the size as tamed. But just the look of the spider has a cool effect in pvp and also among other players.

        Never had so many positive comments in a short time with any pet before, and I have had only rare ones.

        Think the spider wich now is named "Wireless" is gonna be my favourite above the rare bat "Rezzan the needler" I had before.

        I can't even listen to my spider walk without it giving me the creeps.

        I am a level 24 Hunter on Bloodhoof named Dominicxx. I just tamed Mother Fang, a rare spawn green spider from Elewynn Forest.
        They added the ability Web which immobilizes the target for 4 seconds.
        Along with this, they added a pet talent tree, and ALL spider's have the [Cunning] talent tree, AKA the PvP talent tree. Spiders are in fact THE best pet for PvP in WSG from what I can tell, and they make it GREAT for a quick get away because of their root ability. They can now learn the spells Dash, Wolverine Bite, Roar of Recovery, Bull Headed and Carrior Feeder through the talent tree. I will list what these new abilities do below, in the order of which you get them,
        but three are end-talent tree abilities.

        1. Dash - Increases movement speed by 80% for 16 seconds, 32 second cool down. If you spend two talent points, it will become a 16 second cool down. Costs 30 Focus.

        2. Carrion Feeder - Eats a corpse, gaining happieness and health. Basicly like the Undead racial trait Cannibilize, but for your pet. 30 second cool down on this one. Costs no Focus.

        3. Wolverine Bite - Attacks the target for 100 damage, midified by pet level. This attack can only be used after the enemy dodges an attack. This cannot be dodged, blocked, or parried. 10 second cool down, no Focus Cost, great abilty.

        4. Roar of Recovery - Restores 30% of your total mana over 9 seconds. 6 min cool down, no Focus cost, 40 yard range.

        5. Bullheaded - Removes all movement imparing effects and all effects which cause loss of control of your pet. 3 min cool down, yet again, no focus cost.

        Also, all these numbered abilites may take some time to get, because your pet only gets a talent point per 4 levels. So, the first of these talented moves you will get is dash. For more info on all of these abilities, and the actual talent trees, just go to Hunter Pets, and click on Cunning, Tenaciaty, and Ferociaty. Hope I made everythign cleared up for everyone. Have a good day, and I would also like to note.
