Character buffs for battle pets

Post by auredria

It just popped into my head so I'm posting it here to see what others think. I think that battle pets should get character specific buffs.

Elemental would get a class buff from Shamans
Flying would get a class buff from Druids
Magic would get a class buff from Warlocks and Mages
Mechanical would get a profession buff from Blacksmithing, Jewelcrafting, and Engineering
Beast would get a class buff from Hunters
Critter would get a class buff from Hunters
Undead would get a race buff from Undead characters
Aquatic would get a class buff from Druids
Dragonkin would get a class buff from Druids and Shamans
Humanoid would get a race buff from Human characters.

Like I said, this just popped into my head. What do you guys think?

I think it would be horrible to balance, and would give certain classes a distinct advantage over specific trainers in the quest line who have set battle pets with specific weaknesses.

I think that you're missing other classes and races. Not everyone plays what you've mentioned.

It's a good idea, but I think to make it balanced it would lose a lot of flavour, so it's probably more trouble than it is worth. Also it could have a big impact on Battle Pet PVP and given that one race/class/profession combination might buff an already powerful battle pet, people would simply create a level 1 of that combination to do their PVP battles on... which really destroys flavour in my opinion.
