          the pet gets stam, strenght and  AP from the hunter.
          you can also teach it greater stam and armor. some start out with better armor or health than others and like u say cats and owls comes with +dmg.
          BUT u say bats start of with horrible stats...bats starts of with the same stats as a owl!! +7dmg,0armor,0health.
          the only difference is that owls learn both screech and claw, bats dont. they learn bite instead, wish i find nice cause u dont want two focus dump abilities on a pet at the same time anyway.
          i have had both bats and owls, and i myself preffer the bats.

    I have used my bat ever since lvl 11 > im now lvl 56. He's a big rare albino bat i found in trisfall glades, right beside the Under City. He over twice the size now than when i first found him and he has been the best soloing pet I have ever had.

    Reasons why Bats are a good pet choice:
    1. They have screech which is good for gathering aggro from multible targets which makes them good for pulling mobs off you.
    2. Because of their size they provide good coverage so people can't target you as easily in battle grounds.
    3. They do excellent Dps, and they get the Bite ability and dive ability which is useful for chasing down runners and devouring them.
    4. They look cool and make cool noises =P

    Im a BM Tauren hunter and my white bat is about 3 times as big as me and it's bigger than my mount when i use Bestal Wrath! I love killing gnomes with it :D. The down side is that they can become annoying in instances because of thier size and the screech abilty makes a eagle sound :(. But overall, Bats Rock!

        Ressen the Needler AKA the lvl11 rare albino bat can be found anywhere in Trisfall Glades, i have seen him twice. First near the entherence of the UC (where i captured him) and the other time he was over near the sewers. Just run around and hopefuly you'll find him. He respawns every 2-3 hours. There are also lvl 30ish white bats you can tame later in the game in RFC if you cant find him. Good Luck :)

      According to petopia, bats can learn screech 2 at level 24.  But the mobs you have to tame to learn screech 2 are levels 32-40!

      Reported mobs with screech 2:
      Dread Ripper (39-40) Desolace
      Salt Flats Vulture (32-34) 1000 Needles
      Shrike Bat (38-39 Elite) Uldaman

      Since I'm only level 26, I'm kinda annoyed to see I won't be able to teach my pet screech 2 for another 6 levels.

      Does anyone know of any lower level mobs that teach Screech 2?

      Thanks

      Bats can be found in the Undead starting area, Tirisfal Glades. It may be difficult for you get here, but it is, at least, on the same continent. You'll be able to find Duskbats, Vampiric Duskbats, and possibly Ressan the Needler, one of the only two white bats, here.

      I think bats look great with everyone, and the fact that bats are big and dwarves are small seems cool.

          Hey mate,

          Quite simply u need to go to RFK (Razorfen Kraul). There's a frickin huge cave of lvl 30-32 bats called Kraul bats and Greater Kraul bats. If your exeptionally lucky you'll also have the pleasure of meeting Blind Hunter who is a very rare spawn (been to RFK 4 times and still haven't seen him) who is already teeming with moves and is one of 2 white bats in the entire game.

          Hope this helps.

      I love bats as they look great and are one of the best pets due to the dive ability (get to mobs fast), screech (take of a nice 200 odd attack power from mobs at level 4) and also good +7% dps. I also think they are the most well animated pets.

      They are great for pvp as ppl cant see u just a lot of flappy wings. However...

      They are hated in instances because they take up soo much room they can aggro (took one to strat baron once and was very tricky) and also in raids ppl cant see whats going on because of the size. An added bonus is that ppl cannot stand the noise they make with the flapping wings.

      I ditched my zul g one a while back and missed him tbh but ofc problem now is that levelling a pet from 60-70 takes weeks. So I decided to try and solo tame one of the shadowbats in karazhan.

      Our guild are only at the huntsman boss but I took along an invis potion and after we'd finished I decided to make a break through the room with the spiders on the right. Ive not been ther before but read the bats were in there somewhere. So i ran through that room then the next and saw bats, feigned death just as this spider pat walks right over me on the ramp by the bats. Waited for him to go then dismissed my old pet and laid a trap. luckily one of the many bats came right at me (if u try and pull lots come - u die) and was a 69 and i tamed him with a second to spare before the spider came back..

      So Im the proud owner of a level 69 shadowbat. They are like a pinky white colour and I think well worth a solo tame if ur an attuned hunter with some time to kill.

        I have had Ressa (my white bat previous,y Ressan the needler) since level 10. I am now lvl 54 and must say i have tried a boar, a cat and a bear but go back to my white bat as his DPS is awesome, he holds aggro, seems to take lots of damage and overall is an awesome pet.
        Worse thing his he does get in the way a bit when trying to do things like in AH etc but hey there are pros and cons to all pets. He keeps up and is a little different to look at and  is awesome in PVP and PVE.  Overall i would recomend a bat, but then i prefer offensive pets to defensive ones. Comes down to what you prefer.
        My bat has been with me for 40 levels and am not going to replace him but possibly get a wolf for end game raiding only but keep Ress for everyday playing.  Highly recomend bats as pets and the White bat for something really different.  There are only two in the game Ressan the Needler (lvl 10 at Trisfal Glades) and the Blind hunter in RFK.  Very cool pets - especially for Horde :)
