[IMO] Devilsaur should be Tenacity

This is strictly IMO but I've been thinking about this quite a bit since taming one of these Beasties. It makes more sense, to me, for the Devilsaurs to be Tenacity pets as opposed to Ferocity. When ever I think about a Giant T-Rex I remember Jurassic Park where he's taking on 4 Raptors and the hell out of them.
If it's the Monsterous Bite growth then how about which would be simular to the Turtles <35% health trigger where she would get a haste/damage/size increase, of course on a 1min timer as well or where it'll around smacking everyone in an PBAoE attack, or even where you stun/interupt for a few secs.
This is just my opinion, but I think I'm right in this.
No constructive feed back needed, just let me know if you agree/disagree.

I mean of any pet to have I would think it'd be the one with massive treetrunk like legs which (unless they've fixed the sound for it)
thunder
when they
stomp
around.
I feel like this is a cause I can argue for. I think that for the first time since High School Junior year I'll actually do research on it and try to appeal to the Blue Texters.

Research? Bah, I'll stop drinking before I post.
If I can make a Canine comparison, Raptors are like German Shepards (Fast, agile, ferocious) where as Devilsaurs are more like Pitbulls (Bulky, strong, tenatious). Dont get me wrong, a pitbull can be/get fierce but it'll take more damage and hold on longer then the Shepard.
Maybe they can introduce some sort of dual specing for pets where you can have a Ferocity pet and respec him for Tenacity as well. Or maybe give us the option of which tree we spec them down.

Also, lets take a look at the Tree Specs.
Dash? On a Devilsaur? Really? As large and awkward as these beauts are I dont see them winning a foot race (if size is no issue). I mean, comeon, 2 children and a scientist out ran on on foot in JP. Charge is a much nicer fit. Burst of speed and 1sec stun.
is made for Devi's. Big, giant legs that (like I've said before) stomp around normally on their own are perfect for TS...Or at least more so then Worms (how does that physically work out?)
The only Ferc talent that's not Dam+ that I see working is Bloodthirsty and in the case of the Devi maybe changing it to : You swallow the killed target and gain xHappiness, xHealth, and xDPS for x amount of time.
Also how about threat? What's more threatening to you a Pig or a T-Rex? Maybe a Worm or a Turtle? IMO threat goes to the big nasty with the giant sharp chomp-chomps.

That's why I was also including options to changing the pet specific ability (cause that's never happened before /wink )
(<35% health trigger) Your Devilsaur is enraged boosting it's own attack speed, damage, and size. (passive)
Your Devilsaur Lashs her tail around attacking up to 4 enemies within 8 yards.
Your Devilsaur delivers a massive headbutt which causes damage and stuns target for 4 sec
I could think of others, It's just a few of the ideas.

That goes more into the idea of choosing the tree for the pet, which it could be argued that I'm trying to do (I think I even mention it somewhere above) but the reason I started this thread was because to me (this is where the IMO comes into play) the Devilsaur, which is based off the T-Rex, fits better into the Tenacity Family then the Ferocity one.
Dont get me wrong, I'm not complaining about it's current spot. I mean, my gawd man it's a DPS King (or Rex as it were...because Rex is Latin for King...and it's based off of...nvm). I just think it fits better elsewhere. Just like Tallstriders belonging in the Cunning Family, which is a whole other can of 's.

As for Devilsaurs with Dash... seen Jurassic Park have ya? those suckers can run pretty fast once they get going.
Though that is a bit too much mass to get moving in a sprint...
I mentioned that a little bit higher up and while he kept up a good sprint he was still out moved by two children and an out of shape scientist.
As a large man I can tell you first hand that in a quick dash I can beat if not tie with the next guy but anything over 30yards and I'm red faced, rubber legged, blowing steam out my ears and trying to keep my heart inside my chest.
With the Devilsaur I can see (where he/she's running a short distance and using YOU as the way to stop) more so then (where he/she's running @ +80% run speed x16sec)
Also, on a side note, now that all Tenacity pets have Thunderstomp Bears are now the Flavor of the Month since their attack attacks up to 3 mobs and you can get them VERY early in the game.
I'm thinking Gorillas with would be good for PvP depending on if they use the ability once the target starts casting or if it's random.
