http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/8796522753#1 We’re looking to make further Pet Battles adjustments in a future patch (potentially 5.4), and your valuable feedback is needed! Currently, in an Elemental vs. Mechanical matchup, Elementals gain both an attack bonus versus Mechanicals as well as ...

Get ready for the collectathon!

Perhaps your opponent used an always goes first move like Surge that temporarilly boosts speed with a huge amount, thusly canceling out your alpha strike bonus, even if it looked like you would have gone first.

Hrm, good words about howl and scratch, hadnt thought of that. But Ive mainly looked it from a PvE fighting view as Ive no interest in pvp pet battling. The CHP is still the strongest pet with Howl, meaning max damage potential from 2 turns of Scratch.

From the patch notes: Protection for bad luck streaks have been added to Battle-Stones from pet supplies bags and wild battles. Each bag or battle that does not provide a stone has a progressively better chance to award a stone to the player. Methinks its accountwide. Plus it effectively means if yo...

What 5.3 introduces is to make it far easier to gain battle stones. Every battle or bag that doesnt yield a stone will have an increasing chance to yield one.

Ive for a long time been considering Chrominius as one of the more powerful pets with a quite nasty two-punch in Howl+Surge of Power. Plus Chrominus have a considerable healthpool to allow him to take the hits in the two turns of recovery right after. Howl+Surge of Power doing 1480 damage to nonvuln...

Sandstorm is much better to use on anub versus aki. Takes a while to whittle down chirrup. But once reaching stormlash, pop deflection as first move to absorb call lightning, then it sandstorm on the turn after to null it. Then spam crush until stormlash is dead. The otter is usually the one that de...

Some good words there, thanks!

Theres 3 power breed spiders with same stats and moveset, so its just a question of picking a prefered look.

I wasnt talking of a molten hatchling explicitly for a breed 4 spider.

Molten Hatchling is great, yes. S/S is probably good in certain situations, but I'd aim for something with more power, as Leech Life scales out of control with power versus a humanoid (every point of power gives 0.75 extra points of damage plus 1.5 extra points of healing) I also like striders vs N...

Getting more stones will be easier in 5.3, every bag or battle that doesnt yield a stone will have a increasing chance to give one.

Hrm, some interesting thoughts in that older thread. Especially in regards to molten-hatchling. Beast with an undead attack and appearing to have a LOT of longevity with two heal abilities. Gonna catch an S/S one tomorrow and test it out. Intrigued indeed.

Yeah, its quite unreliable. I used to like the Nexus Whelpling with power breed to use with arcane storm and mana surge. When the stars aligned it could barrage down an enemy pet like a knife through butter. But more often than not would miss an awful lot. So I migrated to Chrominius as my anti flye...

Mana Surge have 80% accuracy like Lift off, Burrow and Dive.

You can find skill accuracy on wowhead. But come 5.3 all skills will display their accuracy ingame.

Ive not seen much talk about double counter pets, but I could be interested in seeing what people have found or use: Dragonkin counter: Undead takes less damage from dragons and only one Ive seen with humanoid attacks is Scourged Whelpling Humanoid counter: Beasts takes less damage from humanoids, a...

This was just added to updated PTR notes: All updates 7th May are marked in red http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/259711-53-ptr-patch-notes-april-29/ Tiny Blue Carp, Tiny Green Carp, Tiny Red Carp, and Tiny White Carp are now tradable, and can be caught more than once. The rarity of these pets will...

I aquired an S/S Darkmoon Rabbit and named it Murder. After getting it leveled up to 25 and trying it out, I can say its much better when using the following setup: Huge Sharp Teeth, Dodge, Burrow. With the high speed and 2x evasion moves with a potential damage spike you nearly always will pull off...

Noticed that Wowhead have a page for the upcomming Store pet Blossoming Ancient, that wasnt in the 5.3 pet preview. http://ptr.wowhead.com/npc=71488 2 entirely new abilities: Autumn Breeze 4 Turn Cooldown 100% Hit Chance Calls forth a cool autumn breeze, which restores 12 health to all allies and re...
