Re: WoD AH pets question
I hope they learned their lesson and don't make any stupidly rare pets again. So far it seems that only 40k+ pets have been targeted, but who knows what the lower limit is. It's a shame because goods like pets/mounts are usually a good way to hedge against inflation. Even without duping, pet prices ...

Re: Bananas/HippoHatch
Maybe they bought a lvl 25 and then discovered they couldn't learn it (since they have no other lvl 25s). That restriction isn't documented anywhere ingame until you actually try to learn the high level pet and get an error. Long as they can complicate the chain of ownership, takes longer to get cau...

Re: Bananas/HippoHatch
Bananas got hit in the Rocket Chicken/Tuskarr Kite wave a little while ago, when UJ was still running and we could verify the spike in AH supply. Here's some old threads on it: http://www.warcraftpets.com/community/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=10711 http://www.warcraftpets.com/community/forum/viewtopi...

Re: WoD pet news speculation and datamined
So Iron Thread changed, correct? Previously it was a shield for ~120 damage, and now it's 'ignore attacks that do less than 500 dmg'. http://beta.wowdb.com/pet-abilities/1390-iron-thread Even with a little extra Power (Grubbs is H/P), I noticed a few blocked attacks. I really like the new design, si...

Re: WoD pet news speculation and datamined
Here's Bronze Whelp's wowhead page, currently it looks like it will drop from the random Iron Horde mobs in Blasted Lands that will come with the WoD gate opening event. The moveset is a bit nonsensical though (Arcane Storm plus a stun...?).

Re: When will the prices stop dropping?
Sadly this is the type of situation where UJ was so valuable. When I see prices change on a handful of servers, it's tough to know if that's just random or if something more global happened. (in some cases - gained all of it back) I'm curious what you mean by this. 'Gained all of it back' would mean...

Re: my combat trio
You are at the point where you can capture high-level pets in Pandaria, and that will save you time leveling them. Okrut and 1-2 other Northrend tamers have tough undead pets, so you'd love to have a rabbit with >300 speed, and they're all over Kun-Lai. A Leopard Tree Frog (jade forest) would be ano...

Re: WoD pet news speculation and datamined
Has the Boss passive as well as Unnatural Appetite. Unfortunately boss pets just have a fundamental flaw. They have more power than you, therefore a turn is 'worth' more to them than to you, therefore you must end the fight as fast as possible. Unnatural Appetite just makes every turn even worse fo...

Re: stormwing is nasty
Well, they added a pair of tamer pets with RI -- it's possible they'll put it on another obtainable pet. I think you're selling these short. The first two are just damage spammers but their damage is impressive. Stormwing can go with Quills/Call Lightning and then either Thunderbolt or Flock. That's...

Here's movesets for the three new pets on the frontpage today, they're all pretty impressive, but Stormwing is really going to ruffle some feathers (kekeke):
Hatespark the Tiny
Firewing
Stormwing

Re: tamer speed challenge (win 20k!)
Yes, my experience was the same. That worm has enough health that you need both armageddons to hit on the high end, or one of them has to crit. And then the turtle often has 700+ health left so you need a Falling Murloc crit or an armageddon crit on him too. And when you do get the armageddon crits,...

Not bad! I'd like to know your team/general strat. Was this essentially RI/armageddon/armageddon/Blessed Hammer/Falling Murloc? Did you have to fish for crits? I think our strats are likely to be similar and I'm wondering if I should have just tried the fight a few more times... Anyway, lmk your Ill...

Re: When will the prices stop dropping?
I see. I guess the trouble is there's a lot of gray area. I just know I wouldn't intentionally pay for a duped pet, no matter the cost I wouldn't either,* but when I see EST on AH from 10 different sellers for 20k, what do I make of that? That is more ESTs than were ever on a single server AH prior ...

Here's a characteristic thread which goes into details (that are allegedly how it happens): Yes, I've looked around for those kinds of threads too.

Re: When will the prices stop dropping?
What blues have admitted is that these pets are created via 'exploitative means', but they deny that it's duping. I think by 'duping' they very specifically mean what you're talking about: the ability to instantly create a new copy with little effort. If that were the case, then the supply would tru...

Re: Untamed Hatchling bug in PvP ?
Odd. I made a team with the 3 blackwing lair pets (all dragons) to test this. As luck would have it, my opponent had two flyers, so I won, and I got a flawless stone to boot. Instability hit for ~700 damage both times it landed, which matches the tooltip. I don't know how to explain your result OP.
