Scourged Whelpling best breed ?

Post by Dragonwizard » January 31st, 2013, 8:49 am

I finally got a undead stone yesterday and I have one of each breed ID for the Scourged Whelpling but I can't decide which one to stone. I normally would just do the more power one but 300 hp is a pretty big difference. What do you guys think is the best choice?

It seems to come down to personal preference. A few people here prefer the P/S breed, but most of what I've read elsewhere seems to lean towards the H/H since the difference in power is a lot less than the difference in health pools. If the heal from Plagued Blood were more substantial the P/S would be a no brainer since it does seem to scale with power. I'm not much into theory crafting, but I have lvl 21 rares of each breed and in a couple fights it looks like the P/S one was taking bigger heals per hit off same level/type mobs. That said, the heals are small and don't do much to offset the incoming damage unless you switch to a different pet with multiple hits per round.

I'll eventually get both of mine to 25 and see how I like them through trial and error but it's going to be awhile since there's a few other pets I need to level first.

With the undead ability, Scourged Whelps always finish their turn and get an additional attack instead of dying. Also, tail sweep does additional damage (which can't be deflected, missed, dodged or blocked) if your opponent goes 1st. Speed is the last thing I want on my Whelp, it just isn't needed. H/H or H/P are quite good.

All that said, anyone who has a Scourged Whelp of any breed or quality is extremely lucky.

H/P would be awesome. Unfortunately, it only comes in H/H and P/S and even with that extra speed it's still very slow.

Agreed!

I'd kill for any breed of Scourged Whelp, I swear the little guy does not exist at all.
