I’ve been lucky enough to get into the beta for WoLK and there are still a few things I wouldn’t mind the Hunter’s Helper to well, help with. The what beasts tame-able and what their special is in the tool tip would be nifty along with, somewhat more importantly, what talent tree they are. Neither are terribly important but would be nice to have.

.. and thanks again for the useful gadget!

If you're able to, you could perhaps merge the 3 posts. Sorry :)</p> And of course, to help overview, it’s best to not show “Cower [0/0] (0)” and instead just show “Cower” etc for skills that you haven’t taught your pet, which really makes it easy to see which skills you have or haven’t trained.

The skill Bite would be "Bite [9/9] (29)" which means Bite, trained to rank 9 of 9 available ranks, and 29 points currently being spent in this tree. That allows an amazing overlook that lets you decide to maybe drop a real point hog etc.</p> I forgot to clarify what I meant by the text titles.

You’ve done a FANTASTIC job!

What I find really bad is the pet training interface. It is horrible, the colors make very little sense, skills that you have trained to max become gray, but if you don’t know all ranks of that skill then the skill is GREEN instead, for instance. You get NO overview of what you have trained the pet, and I am so confused, having to ALWAYS click the skill titles to look at what is going on.

I suggest changing it to this:

Bite [9/9] (29) Cower Dash [3/3] (25) Gore [9/9] (29)

Growl [7/8] (0)

and so on, showing what rank you are on right in the TEXT title of a skill, without having to click on it. Please do this, that would solve the entire “holy shit, I can’t get an overview of what skills my pet knows” problem that currently exists due to the confusing colors.

Like I said, it is so confusing to train a skill to max rank and have it turn gray meaning “you’ve maxed this skill,y ou are done with it” and then having a different skill ALSO trained to max be colored green JUST because you have never caught rank 1 of that skill.

Thanks again for a wonderful addon, and hopefully you think this advice is good and we’ll see it in the next version :)
