A child of phoenix god Al'ar, the hatchling takes flight immediately after birth.
Don't look so smug. I know what you're thinking. But taking the Ashes of A'lar was merely a setback. Did you honestly believe I would have only one Phoenix at my disposal? Hahahaha... Oh no, no, no, A'lar was only an instrument, a stepping stone to a much better Phoenix. It has all led to this... and this time, you shall not interfere!
Definitely one of the best pets ever.
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.
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.
Can be great against Blingtron on Celestial Tournament.
This was my first 'favorite' pet... Still in my top 10. It took me 23 runs to get it, but it was worth it. :)
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.
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!
Just a quick note, do not leave these little guys unattended in any way shape or form while you're in chapels or churches. Mine ate a month's supply of incense while my back was turned and I STILL get dirty looks whenever I go into Light's Hope Chapel!
I learned about this pet a long time ago, before my character was high enough level to go after it, and then I completely forgot it existed. I immediately rushed off to try my luck today on Heroic and was lucky enough to get it on my first try. I've had a lot of good luck lately so I'm worried it's going to come back to bite me sometime soon.
Just to clear up the latest comment (user: Kendrah), the pet drops in both Normal and Heroic Magister's Terrace from Kael'thas.
I like to use immolate and immolation then swap pets. I love pets with dots and this one is particularly my favorite because it is also our guild pet.
@Amithyst Mine ignores scourched earth just fine, I am even thinking about building an elemental team thats is scrouched earth and conflag
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.
