Hunters are getting a great new spell in Mists of Pandaria called Stampede, where all the hunter's pets are summoned to go ape on a mob for 10 seconds. It's one of those cool abilities that'll make you want to level up your hunter again just so you can see the level 87 ability in action yourself.

Ghostcrawler was originally quoted in Curse's interview as saying:

I don't think we have talked about what we are doing for the hunter yet. I think a lot of hunter players have guessed it but the hunter level 87 ability is basically you get all your pets at once for a short amount of time. So if you have 5 pets in your stable, they all come out and do damage for a little bit of time, and that's really fun cooldown for them. I think it increases Beast Master's damage by 80% while they're out, or something ridiculous like that. That's a pretty fun one.

Brian Wood has talked a bit about the new Stampede too in our hunter column, including the initial announcement of the ability and some resulting QQ.
