The last column is an attempt to see which pets have balanced, high stats, but I don't think it's really effective yet. Does anyone have any suggestions for a function that determines a generally good pet?
Hi Jone

Checkout the pet ranking.. its pretty much what you did on your spreadsheet, just for all the possible ability sets

That is really super. Thanks, you've saved me redoing this for snails and owls next!

Heh ya ... i dont even want to think about the hassle to do this manually in an excel sheet.
Much more confortable to just pull the data from the database with clever queries :-)

So.. need new ideas for my site soon... running out of ideas.

About "Best pet per ability-set", there are a few pets that is not currently the best per ability sets, because they don't exist as rares yet. Egbert, De-Weaponized Mechanical Companion, Mana Wyrmling and Withers are a few examples that aren't really the best pet...yet :)

Its an error that will be gone once 5.1 patch comes though, so its not high priority, but still a thing you can do if you lack projects :)

Oh, and since you asked :) "Top 20 health pets" / "Top 20 power pets" / "Top 20 speedy pets". How about top 100, or more, perhaps include all pets on a 3 different top lists "Top health pets" / "Top power pets" / "Top speedy pets".

Oh, and another thing. What about a filter option in those top lists, to only include one pet family at a time if you like, or perhaps a checkbox where you check the pet families you want to be included in those lists.

Can't think of anything else at the moment, keep up the good work! :D Best of luck with those queries. Love your site!

Darky28, would it be hard to implement some kind of an export feature to the Pet List tab which allows to transfer user's pets to Excel/OpenOffice worksheet? Or at least create a temp page which has properly formatted data for spreadsheets?

Currently if I copypaste the whole deal, all data gets pasted into a single cell which really doesn't help a lot. I could create a macro for myself in Excel to parse that thing but it wouldn't be very easy and I think it would serve a greater purpose if a possibility for export feature exists. :)

Would someone mind copying the link here. For some reason (prob. just keep overlooking it!) I can't seem to find the link to the web app.

Thanks in advance for any help provided!

I got an email from Breanni, that now my website is a competing website to warcraftpets.com and therefore he removed the link to my website.
I respect his decision, so if you want to know the URL of my website, you can either use google ("breedId" and "Warcraft" as keywords should do) or send me a private message through this forum.

Breanni allowed me to use the link again.
Thank you very much :)

I put it back on the first post

The interrupt(Kick) is useless if not the fastest(or atleast you cant avoid 1 round of damage while using it), and it effectivly makes Blitz a 2-3 hit ability instead of 1-2, making it better than the other 1-3 ability in slot 1.

I absolutely LOVE this website. I've been using it for the last few weeks and now I almost constantly have a window open to reference. Excellent job!! :-)

Same here. Thanks for this website, super helpful. One feature I'd like to see added to the pet list tab is rarity and class filter. Now that battle-stones are appearing I'd like to be able to compare the poor-uncommon pets of a specific class to see who is worthy of rare status. For example: Show only Magic pets that are uncommon or common or poor.

I didn't find this website to really be competition for warcraftpets. I like both for different reasons.

Warcraft Pets gives really good information on every pet and how/where/when to find them. It also shows pics of each pet and the similar models used. I love that it has a comment section for each pet so I can get more information from other collectors who have already found thie pet or not found them.

But Darky28's website gives good information about MY pets, rarity, level, stats, etc.

The only part of Darky28's website that would really compete with Warcraft Pets is the part where you can print a list of pets that includes your pets. But even that section gives cmpletely different information.

I use both sites equally for different reasons.

As a newbie to the whole breed ID thing (P/B, B/B, P/S, etc.), I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see a list of popularly-competitive pets and their "desired" breed ID. Frankly, I'm not sure if my Infinite Whelpling should ideally be a P/P, or a P/B, etc. Making it too easy-sauce? Perhaps. But after reviewing I still am unsure what pets really need to be pure power, pure speed, mixes of some of both, etc. I hear lots of talk of "best breed for the pet", and identification of 4, 5, 6 for speed, power, health (or something like that), but how do I identify what a pet SHOULD be? Does this make sense? If not, please someone, feel free to school me because I don't want to waste any more battle-stones :-)

Thanks so much!

Darky28 your site is awesome. The only problem I have with it is it doesn't list Russian realms, therefore, I can't export my character to view my list of pets regarding their breeds. Could you please do something about that if that's not too much trouble?
