Sure! I'll add Ravager Hatchlings, don't think I've ever seen them used.

I was thinking this list seems fairly limited in what we can use, wouldn't it be easier to know what pets are not allowed ?
That way people won't know what to expect everyone else will be using.

The whole point is to limit folks to things that aren't used often though. Otherwise we end up with the same pets time and time again. If you're forced to use things you don't normally, it helps you practice different strategies etc.

It's one of those things where there's so many different pets out there that "non-popular" could be hundreds of pets.

I love the theory rafting in trying to get some synergy out of these teams, but that 3rd spot becomes hard to fill.

Plus, when you can sort by "spell I want" on This site and find a 3rd that's rarely used but not on the list, well, that's the request I'd make too.

Although alternately if we did this again you could always prohibit the 150 most popular or something.

Really it's too bad there isn't data on team popularity... I'd love to see what % of teams run anub, etc.

Yeah, data for how much they're used is pretty much non-existent. That's why I was asking for folks to help build the list (and announced it over a month ago, so everyone would have time to look over it and give suggestions or request that pets be added). At this point however, with just a few days to go, I don't think more revision would be fair.

Oh, of course. I support the current list for this weekend. I slipped into over analyzing engineer mode for a second.

It happens from time to time.

Tiz you did a great job once again, got my butt handed to me rather early in the event but it was fun never the less. Also was very interesting to watch the battles that were going on, as someone stated while we were watching it would be cool to see the health bars of the pets(does Bliz watch these forums??? future patch work in would be great), Grats to Bloody for going undefeated, what a great team! Looking forward to the next one!!
