A mastiff bred for rescue, the Alterac brewhound's bloodline is famous for having found and resuscitated many mountain travelers trapped beneath the snow... and then slobbering all over them.
I just wanted to thank everyone here for buying this adorable best friend. Thank you for all of your support for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. I am a Make-A-Wish kid, this means a lot to me. I survived, where a lot of my peers have not. Make-A-Wish inspires us children, gives us hopes and dreams and brings our imagination alive outside the hospital where we spend so much of our lives. If interested here is my MMO Champion post.
So... just when does this pet become available? I see all these posts about how everyone wants one *which I do too*. But I still think we would all like to know just when can we get it? :)
This pet has a backline heal that is very strong. It heals your backline pets for 370-400+ each use. It is great for healing your pets in the celestial tournament because it takes only a few heals to get your other pets to max health.
He has a backline pet heal, so I've been running him in certain circles (oh yes, we're all about class in my stable) as an answer to the Kovok... he's saved me a couple of times, but I dunno. Anyone incorporating the pup into a dependable team? Upside, when we lose a battle he's always there with a consolation prize. /drink!
This would be a great time to release another charity pet (to benefit the Philippines). I feel like the Alterac Brew-Pup would be a perfect fit for the job. :)
Very effective in a Darkness or Sand Storm Elemental team. His selfless heal will heal Elementals in Darkness for the full amount because they ignore the 50% reduction.
Nice pet to have on a team great healer. I bring him to all our guild meetings for cocktails. :)
If you buy the bundle, both the mount and this little guy is mailed to you ingame.
Zwuh? This, this I think I'm going to get. Backline heal? Hello new strategies! Or depending on health, this guy could make a serious stall pet. Combining Bark+Tough/Cuddly makes a decent wall. Avalanche tho. That one has my attention. Unique as far as I know. Field split damage is one thing, but it also looks to be a solid finisher. Should be fun to see how the meta changes.
Gotta love the St.Bernard dog. It's a paying one but....IT IS A ST.BERNARD with a Brandy barrel on his neck and BEER mugs on his side. Blizzard take my money please :)
Battle wise, finally a pet that can make big heals on your allies. This will open many strategies :D
I named him "Chuggs". Chuggs has juggs. When we go out Chuggs fills muggs. That's when Chuggs gets lot's of huggs!
Someone asked about a team with him so I though I'd share mine. I'm running this Brew Pup with a Nether Faerie Dragon (P/P) and a Nexus Whelpling (P/S). The dragons both hit hard. Usually I lead with Nether Faerie since she can dodge the first attack, which is usually where people use their hardest hitting attack. Once both the dragons have taken a bit of damage I sub in the brew pub for a group heal and an AOE attack and then put a dragons back in for damage. Works great!
A powerful pet indeed. Best team heal available, one of the best AoE moves that don't lose anything when there are fewer pets to attack. 289 power and speed. A crouch move and a very interesting damage and defense move to make it even more durable. Also the only 100% damage bonus ability that also does damage. This pet is full of potential. Truly powerful in the right hands with many different playstyles.
Got this today, so cute and I just luv that people can click on him for a brew. Funny watching people come up and get drunk in Stormwind.
Just bought mine this morning from Blizz shop as a package with the mount.. both are totally gorgeous!! Strongly recommened both... if you can possibly afford the $30 US.. as part of the money goes to charity.. just doesnt get any better than that!! Mount is very unique with its changing colours I have ever seen, really is beautiful.. and Pup, very cute and so far is very strong against critters and gives you some lovely drink to warm you up as you battle along!! *happy dance* ;D
He has a gear icon that when you "use" him, you get a conjured, unique "strong alcoholic beverage", so free beer ;)
The note on the description pet page, says you must claim it one one acct..that is true, but i can verifiy that the pet is summonable across all accounts linked to that entire battlenet account.
Unless a specific set of moves or stats is required the Aletrac Brew Pup is handsdown my go to Beast pet. Tough n' Cuddly, Call the Pack followed by Bite devastates and the pup doesnt die easily. Nearly soloes the critter Beasts of Fable too (for eg.). It is well worth the money spent to have this in your collection :)
I use this fella as part of my capture team - Tough and Cuddly along with Bark's -25% attack reduction on the next turn. this pooch can take a beating.
Could you imagine this in a H/H breed? :-)
How can you not like this pet, he's there for everyone and always willing to serve even after closing hours! :-)
