Random Pet Selection

Post by Mathew013 » December 18th, 2012, 12:52 pm

Just to shake things up, I'm looking for something (an addon, likely) that would randomly choose 3 pets for battling.
(spells too, if possible) out of my pet pool.
Anything like this exist, yet? :?:

(Anyone who's played TCGs knows, it's kinda fun to insert random cards into the deck, just to see if there's any synergy there that they would have missed otherwise.)

Don't think there's an addon for this but here's what I'd do...

Open pet journal
Filter out non collected
Roll 3d10 marking each one as hundreds/tens/ones
discard any hundreds that wouldn't apply (ex. 6,7,8,9)
find that number pet in your journal and use it.

tedious if you have 500+pets

Or use that same method with a limited number of favorites and filter by favorites.

That's not a bad idea; reminded me that the /roll command still works. (/roll 300 = 1 random number between 1 and 300)
Ah well, I'll keep looking, thanks. ;)

/roll 100-100 always gets a laugh ;)
