    Considering the Hercules evolves at lvl100 and gets a really neat aggro skills plus other goodies some us self-heal and another aoe skill (depends on moods) I don't know if it's ideal to replace Pounce anymore.

    However, if you're going to mostly use it to tank bosses, Pounce won't be very handy indeed due to its inability to proc (no stunning bosses) and thus no attack speed increase for the pet. I guess the good old Bash can work and maybe replace it at lvl100 with something else.

    Threaten might be a good one at 100 if you've removed Pounce. Under 100, if you're concerned about holding aggro on the herc, Bash is best, though some swear by Roar.

    I used to have pounce, and i read some threads that it would be nice if replaced with Bash.

    Nowadays, i manage to remove the Bash with Blessing of the Pack i bought from faction base for 30 mil. And i am happy to see my herc even more tankier.

    I'm hoping to do that as well, eventually although considering I'm not Herc-tanking like I used it, the option of teaching it Claw is very appealing too.

    If your herc is for tanking only, you won't lose much replacing pounce. But if it's your main and you don't have any other for just quests/BHs and pvp (if you pvp), pounce may serve you well. Especially after evolution when you can get decent mood with additional skills and it's not that necessary to replace anything.

    I removed pounce ages ago and learnt roar, after evolving replaced roar with flesh ream just because herc already has agro skill (its unique) and it's cheap alternative to claw, and my herc has inherited 65/65 attack lol
    Everything depends on your purpose and how you intend to use your pet =)

    Perfect Herc for tanking:
    Bless instead of pounce
    Mood: Confident
    High defense and Hp inheritance
    Here is my herc for example : http://flic.kr/p/gswh7gb:dirty
    not very high dmg output but r9rr+12 can barely steal arrgo...and its usually not 1shot

    Pretty love defences though o.o funny how you both got similar inherits though xD
    I'll have to reshape my Hercules eventually but ever since they broke the instance, gather stars is slower now :/
