List of Pet and Raid Buffs

Now that pet buffs will help the entire raiding party, it is important to know what all the pet buffs are.  Frostheim has come up with a list.  Make sure you check the Comments for more information.  I've put this link in the Hunter tab but the information is important enough I wanted to post it here, too.

Pet News from Cataclysm UPDATED

In the latest Cataclysm build, pets can become crit immune by using the Grace of Mantis talent.  The article also has info on the new worm Burrow and pet bugs.

Mania's Arcania has a way of taming the Oily Coat Wolf so that it doesn't lose its color open taming.  Looks like this works for Alliance only, or at least only for Horde with plenty of Alliance friends to help.  It also may be removed by Blizzard at any time and you can't take the wolf to Arena without losing the coloring.

Looks like eight of the nine parrots available in Cataclysm will be tamable.
