Even though this case it was an elemental, I dont think Ive ever had Arcane storms actually do anything It has never prevented a root and as far as I can tell does nothing for Mana Surge

Of course some in tribute to H.P Lovecraft.


Oh...wait

not really at least with not being effected by weather you could do some fun things now all its going to be is swap pet. honestly makes this family worthless to even play anymore Honestly its the opposite for many people - it makes elementals actually playable. I guess it depends on how you were us...

so instead of a semi cool pet trait they are going to nuke the crap outta elementals making them oh ya useless for there pet family ability. good going blizzard screwing with the game again because people qq so much about it on the battle.net forums sigh. -50% damage on the swap in turn is very pow...

They must really hate the Idol. This will be two patches in a row to "punish" it. It should be expected. Sometimes nerfs happen to bring one thing back in line with others. Sometimes though, things are nerfed simply to get them out of the 'metagame' for awhile. People are sick of seeing t...

A lot of people have reported issues with Arcane Storm. But 5.3 lists this: Fixed an issue where pet abilities that had a chance to stun were not working correctly. I think that is talking about like the Kun-Lai Runt I'd like someone to report on this from the PTR - His stun has been reported to st...

I went through like 5 chairs in a year before finding mine. I spent upto $150 dollars on one of them. This one I got for like $10 at a consignment shop and has lasted 6 years.

Jade Ooze (power breed) is the defacto DoT champion, but this is being reigned in greatly in 5.3 from what I've read they are taking most of the bonus damage away from Corrosion and adding it to the initial damage portion of the ability. I haven't PTR'ed to know, but I suspect this greatly demolishe...

Seems all chance to stun abilities have gained an extra round of cooldown. Anyone know/guess the specific reasoning? Did the 3 rounds have synergy with other abilities? They added cooldown to Haymaker I'm assuming due to Lucky teams, but didn't seem to touch Demolish or Cataclysm, and Demolish is as...

Supposedly fishing level doesnt factor in at all because people have had low fishing and just cast no pole and get a carp in 10 catches and you can sit with 800 fishing for 12 hours amd not see one. Its just extreme RNG Fishing skill has no impact in pools, but it definitely helps in open water bec...

I justified those two as a birthday present for my daughter. Just snatch the card from its neck before you wrap and viola no wife-guilt for the pets lol

My critters are breaking stuns fine - like the other person said i think the freeze isnt counted as a root effect :/

Most people that run roaches either cast apoc and swap, or use crawdad to heal it

5.2 fixed the spawn rate yes. I felt bad for a minute when I was 200 exp from 25 after doing Payne and went to find a wild pet and the first one I came across...you guessed it, a rare Scourged Whelpling. Which I preceded to kill for the 200 exp and move on with my day. lol

I think its a bad move, from a marketing perspective. Blizzard had made great strides toward engaging the non-hardcore raiding segment by offering alternative "advancement paths" through the side games of pet battles and farming. Yes, I know these activities are not "classic WoW"...

My Experience so far:
Leveled 0-600 purely on Pools in the Vale, + ~700 or so open water fish afterward from the little pool with the Crab in it.

No Carp.

I'm still 0/4

King Snake took me about an hour. Fairly average for the zone pets. To contrast the longest I've spent looking for a rare so far has been the Rapana Whelk at a grand total of over 6 real playing hours.

If you hate PvP then do this as soon as the patch hits! To cash in on the new amd fight mostly inexperienced people, since it requires winning the battles.
