World-of-warcraft – Rare pets more useful in upcoming pet battles

world of warcraft

I have a number of rare pets that I've obtained over the years, and I'm curious as to whether or not these pets, because of their rarity, will be more useful than the easier to obtain pets in the upcoming pet battles of MoP.

Best Answer

The quality of the pet(can bee seen by the color of the name plate) decides how much stat a pet gains each level, so a rare quality pet(blue name plate) will be better than a common quality pet(white name plate) in the long run.

Originally all non-captured pet where of common quality (white), but blizzard have changed it so some of the harder to get pets will be of rare quality(blue).

An updated list can be found at the blue post.
