From what I have read on these boards and from my own experiments. None of us have ever gotten a Special like Plague Strike to stick on a creature. I was guessing this was because the Devs actually thought ahead and decided this was too powerful of an attack for a pet.

Guess what.... Creature Handlers have been able to tame creatures with this attack and use it successfully. Mantigrue Screecher, for example, has babies.

If the CH can tame these creatures and the specials are available, then why can't us BE's make pets with these Specials? Doesn't seem right?

Don't forget, the pets that do have these specials still pretty much suck comapared to what a BE can make. I think they didn't want the two combined so we'd not end up with uber pets that break the newly implemented 'balance'.

That's okay by me, really. Pets we make are superior in almost every single way, having a bigger variety of specials in the wild gives a CH the motivation to still tame babies. Actually I think it's a little too slighted in our favor right now, there needs to be a little more reason to be a CH and use that Tame skill you're given at novice.
