Gen Con Review on WOW Vault

If you havn't read it yet my article is up on WOW Vault. Here's a snippit.

Pets - We saw an Undead Warlock get his first level pet quest. It involved killing five Skeletons and then returning back to the NPC. Once you finished the quest, a pet icon showed up on your quickbar and in your spell book. Once summoned, a second smaller quick bar showed up just above your main one. This allows you to command the pet. For example, you can make your pet attack a targeted creature without having to attack it yourself first. Also, your pet can learn more spells and it levels up with you. You can't name your pet, but the Imp a first level Warlock gets was super kewl. All the screenshots don't do it justice. With his pet the Warlock was killing the same Skeletons in half the time. Also the Imp moved back out of combat when the Skeleton was meleeing the player. Since the Imp is not a tank, the AI was smart enough to make the Imp move out of harm's way as he nuked from range. I have to say pet AI was really important to me and it looked very good.
