I'm not a big fan of the set ... that being said, you have no ranged powers for your pets.
wolf: pounce, Pet (self) TP to target, foe knock down.
bear: bee's nest, throws bee's nest at target <-- kidding couldn't think of one.
Gorilla: trow bolder or large tree limb.

I think the better pet sets would be
young pup: 1-3 small dogs
alpha female: 1-2 moderate size dogs
Alpha male: large dog. Less animation work for Devs

Lions! and Tigers! and Bears! (and gorillas!) I want

Uhh. Hurl is ranged. I'll use your ranged for Wolf and Big Cat.

lol big cat: bears.

bears are not cats XD

The ability to summon little duplicates of me? That would bring a whole new level of awesome to the game. Thumbs up!

Yeah I'd kind of prefer something like

3 minion power - Wolves
2 Minion power - Werewolves
1 Minion power - "Alpha" werewolf

for a beast summoning set

I'd rather see a beastmaster theme to an animal MM set than a "big game hunter" theme, which is what you've got with the rifle and such.

Ranged attacks could be like a boomerang, or a spear, or maybe even commanding a falcon to fly at your enemy from your hand like a real falconer.

I'd also like to see a temp. swarm power a la Gang War or Hell on Earth that summons a massive flock of birds or swarms of rats/small animals.

Also, having one animal across an entire set is lame. Vote no to all dogs/cats/whatever.

Tier 1: Wolves. Mostly melee with a sonic attack, ranged "howl"
tier 2: Big cats of some kind (prefer tigers but leopards, jaguars or whatever would be cool too) Basically scrappers.
Tier 3: Big bear. Can induce AoE stuns with stomps and roars that disorient/fear foes. Tankish.

Great set.


I would give the bears this power.


Primal Roar - Ranged (Cone), Foe Fear, -Recharge, -SPD

Description: This Bloodcurdling Roar evokes uncontrollable fear even in the most hardened of enemies, causing most foes to tremble helplessly in terror. The panic stricken foes that flee will find their movement and attack rates slowed.





** Since bears aren’t cats, perhaps rename the level 12 power to Summon Ursus (Ursus is the Genus for bears (Kodiak, Polar, Grizzly etc…)).

It was orginally supposed to be big cats. The original "Bear" name was a typo.
