If you have an animal and unequip Charm Animal, then re-equip it, will you still have your pet?

What are the best pets? And how good is the Stalker?

Yes u will. You do not lose your animal unless you sell it to a collector.

Seriously? I remember people had been clamoring to be able to dye their pets.

Did ArenaNet appease the mob?

The Black Bear is prob. the best pet but also the hardest to charm. It has been posted that it can be done, and has. Although I do not know if it was true or not.

I just really want to try it out on the Bull. It would be cool to have that big hulking thing as a pet.

Well on a scale of one to ten, how good is the Stalker?

And on a scale of one to ten, hood good is the Wolf?

And is it possible to get the bull?

I believe that the bull might not be tameable because he's a quest "item", as it were.

Personally, I'm looking foward to charming the lizards found in Eden.

He's an animal though, good enough for me.

And next BWE, I'm getting that bull!

Does anyone know where to sell your pet?

Oh, and sorta off topic, but will your character get deleted? (including pets)

You can rid yourself of your pet at the Tamer's just outside of Ascalon City. This will allow you to tame a new one.

Also, when you talk about deletion, you mean the wipe occuring just before gamelaunch? If so, characters are being /reset/. This means starting from square one but retaining their names. Believe you'll have to select their classes again, even.

Char will get reset to lvl 1 with starting equip to match. But Pre-order ppl will have a one day head start.

I want the Bull TOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..

We should hook up and try together.

What a cool pet it would be.

I'm partial to the Lynx myself. I mean, come on people!! Who wouldn't want an animal titled "Playful Lynx!?!" Just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside...

we have had a pair of level 20s fail to get the bear as it can spam break charm faster than you can do anything

seriously tried and failed

balance people

i think the bear would be overkill compared to the others

KIWI

to find out which is more powerful take the cat out and have it fight the others and see who wins consistently

i couldnt dye my cat so it might have been a special case but it was labled mxxx stalker and had red side stripes

There have been a few pet threads, but I will just say a couple things:

Each pet seems to have a slight advantage/disadvantage as compared to the others. Consider the following:

------------Move------Attack Spd-------Attack dmg-------Resiliance
Boar (Oink!)-Slow---------slow-------------high--------------high
Moa Bird ---Fast----------fast-------------low---------------low
Lynx-------medium--------med-------------med--------------med
Stalker-----medium--------fast-------------med--------------med
Wolf-------medium---------Med-------------med--------------high

Since I have tried them all, this is the best I can venture. All of these abilities are all relative to the general effectiveness of a pet of course, which changes with their levels and is obviously less effective than a player char. Still they are nice to have, especially with those new skills they added. Kitties can pounce!

Hope this helps
Any other rangers feel free to correct me or comment on this table.

the rogue bull isn't even considered an animal for the charm skill. neither is the rabbit, moss spider, or fern lizard.

the black bear and the wolves of the pre-searing region are valid targets.

All animals are catchable.

The thing is no one has been able to catch it, because it's hard.

But I will!!! I will work forever to get that thing...

the bull is a quest..... no quest item/thing can be personalized..sold... or tamed...it's there for completion only ..sorry to burst bubble.....however..i did see an article on the tamable pets..I will have to hunt it down for you.... did an in depth scale on them...they were relatively equal in all respects with just slight variances.... the damage output for them was only a couple points difference between them all too. can't remember for sure which was highest but it may have been a tie between two of them for damage.....

I do remember though which ones they compared..... wolf...stalker...lynx...moa bird...boar...

so all the ones you listed were in it... I will get back to you on it..unless somebody else beats me to it, and locates the article..k

No I think a minotaur is a mythical creature, its half animal, half human.

Yeah, I found out the hard way that removing charm animal removes him. But yes yo ucan put it back and he will be right there. I am thinking if you have always had the stalker like me, hes good because he levels up. I'd say og until you find a new, higher level pet yhat you can charm.
