Supposedly, phoenixes will turn into a pile of ashes upon death. Then a new phoenix will rise up from the ashes, reborn and rejuvenated. So my question is this: which of you unruly phoenix owners was so careless as to allow your precious phoenix flying mount to die? Huh?! Because if I manage to get this adorable baby bird, all I can say is "Finders Keepers!"
Definitely one of the best pets ever.
21 runs on normal... don't forget to loot the blues and epics to vendor... you can skip 90% of the mobs at 85... skip the last group just before last boss, then he won't give a speech., click orb behind him to leave
After 22 runs between two characters I finally have this pet to add to my collection. I've been doing it once per day on heroic to avoid burnout and have a chance for the mount as well (which is still being stubborn). At 90 you can avoid all trash minus the trash in the room with Selin, since he pulls them when aggro'd. If you skip the pack immediately before Kael'thas he won't go through his whole RP scene about Tempest Keep - saves you a few seconds of time.
Hahahaha, I got mine out of a bribe bag for healing a heroic. Zero effort phoenix hatchling for the win!
Fast, and sturdy with the self-heal. The damaging elemental shield also works while the pet is on the backline - cast it immediately, and then right before switching out for added hilarity!
Also, if you do it on heroic there is also the chance to get the great Orb of the Sindori item that lets you turn into a Blood Elf.
I'm pretty sure any 2 classes at level 80 could manage this so long as you know what you're doing and how to avoid Kael damage which can still be pretty nasty if you stay in wrong spot.
With the latest patch the "Immolate + Conflagrate" combo doesn't do as much damage. Still a very nice looking pet but not as strong as it used to be.
I'm not sure if they upped the drop rate. My wife & I breezed through in about 5 minutes per run. 2 pets in 4 runs, though no mount. What doesn't make sense is why a phoenix does not have a rebirth ability? It just seems it would fit.
I've noticed that it doesn't ignore weather effects like it should as an elemental. At least with the -Scorched Earth- effect.
Update.. Yes mine WAS recieving damage from weather effects :T thank you, I can read the pet battle combat log just fine.
I contacted a GM and they told me it was indeed a bug that I had stumbled acrossed, it has now been fixed and my hatchling ignores weather as it should.Got this fella on the second run! Was so pumped when I got him. I was planning on selling him but he just looks so awesome!! ^^
Had been running this instance for the Reputation achieves when I got this. Last 3 runs in here, I saw 2 Hatchlings and 2 Hawkstriders.
Back in Wrath (I'm a Wrath baby), I went with a Paladin friend one two different occasions on my hunter. On the 2nd time ever being there, not only did I get this pet, but I got the mount as well in the same run.
too get this pet do you have to play the instance on heroic or can you just play it normally? :)
Awesome looking pet and very nice combination of cauterize and immolation. Speed breed isn't optimal but still useful.
Definitely a must-have.
