Impressive Great work!

My personal recomendation: sadly, the addon breed ID uses letters as default; change this to showing numbers, and everything becomes clear :) Have to disagree with you Cab. The problem with the numbers is that they are merely a label and convey no actual information. You have to memorize what stats...

NathKnave - that'd be it. I have an S/S breed. Easy enough to remedy - and it *does* work with some RNG but it's just really irritating how weak Hunting Party is otherwise. I also think no one uses the #s for breeds and the OP should change it accordingly. I can't be arsed to go googling what the h...

Wow, really cool to see all the work being put into the guide! <3 you perfectionists! This is more than I ever hoped dream for, and the input by all of you guys and gals are really superb. Especially the terminology concerning ability sequence pr round, and the ammount of rounds needed to win the ba...

Thank you for this :) It was a thorn in my side to have a guide I didn't manage to keep up to date. Nice job, and good to see so many improvements and people contributing with pet battle theorycrafting/minmaxing! :D Btw: I remember my Nish-fights the most. Round 1: carry pet [attack] 2: switch to Et...

It would be a very helpful tool to have objective data based on a unified standard. Experience dictates that such input will differ when people have to make their own tests and submit them. The data would most likely not be totally comparable. I'm not saying that the inputs will be too inconsistent ...

Stickying this great post! Cabadath , if you plan on keeping this guide updated for 5.3 and future patches, this post can be moved to the Community Guides section. :) I tried to reply to your message, but I couldn't send it because the anti-spam check didn't work (typed in the words but it never wo...

Added my two teams vs Jeremy Feasel to the guide. Note that last Darkmoon Faire, I didn't get enough time to fine-tune my team and find out which one I prefer. Both teams seem solid though. Because of the supposed nerf to Conflagrate in 5.2, it may be that the Infinite Whelpling + Mechanical Pandare...

You are absolutely awesome in that you figured all this out but more so because you shared it with everyone. Loved your strat against Aki. Didn't have my Spirit Crab lvl'd up but see the advantage with having Snap and Surge with SS. Still managed it with Shore Crab and Gilded Moth. Spirit Crab is m...

Like Badpathing said, you get to buy one gilnean raven from a trainer pr worgen. If you are unlucky with the breed, you have to level another worgen through the starting zone (big snore). The alternative is to buy one from the ah, or, like you said, get someone to gift you with one :). I read a for...

Throwing up my current lineups where they differ so we can compare notes: For Aki: Lil' XT, carry pet, Bat P/P stormlash is the only trainer that uses call lightning, so heartbreak + tympanic tantrum do massive damage. Most effective when Aki starts with stormlash. Bat uses [1,1,1] and wrecks both ...

Is the breed 5 gilnean raven too slow here? otherwise i'd suggest alpha strike. I have both the breed 5 and breed 8 Gilnean Raven. Is it possible to buy another one of those ravens from vendor? or do i need to talk to people to make somebody like me enough to go and buy one from their account? :( L...

Is the breed 5 gilnean raven too slow here? otherwise i'd suggest alpha strike. I have both the breed 5 and breed 8 Gilnean Raven. The reason I only use breed 8 is that it has more attack power than breed 5, and that it still has sufficient speed to go first with the +50 % bonus to speed when a fly...

Tried tonight and died 5 of 6 times. Broom owns Grizzle and has a little life to do something to another pet. Phoenix Hatchling owns Beakmaster but takes damage. Phoenix can't manage Bloom solo even from almost full health. Broom can't finish either Beak off (to allow for an aquatic to take Bloom),...

@ Cabadath, for your Zushi strat....man, I cannot get it to work. I am running breed 4 Jade Ooze, and I just cannot live through the 2nd pet. I mean, I can use that comp to 'win' but it feel very very tight... definitely not taking out two pets with the ooze; not even close. Strange. I don't think ...

I absolutely love such comps as you suggested for Payne, Poofah. No better way to start a flexible team vs a tamer than bringing a stun or force-swap pet to the table. And I also love the fact that while trying to find a perfect team for the tamers, you can try a pet and deem it unfit for the battle...

Thanks, and congrats back at you :) Jade Oozeling is lovely. Acidic goo, corrosion, absorb, absorb = win :). Often works well even though you have to apply corrosion one round later because of Dive or something (such as with Zusshi's Mollus). Another thing about Jade Oozeling: corrosion is blocked b...

Also @ Cabadath, for the following: 2.6 Mo’ruk -Very reliable, but a little slow and boring with refreshing Emerald Presence and using Emerald Dream. Not too slow though, as Lightstalker takes extra dmg from Emerald Bite. -Woodcarver, Lightstalker, Needleback (usually start with Woodcarver). 1: Eme...

Nice, will check warpets.info. I assumed the elite battle pets would be a little more tricky than to just use dmg reduction shields and go with attacks that do extra damage vs their pet family. Would seem a little boring and make them a little uninteresting not befitting their title of "elite" pets....

I haven't seen much info about the new elite battle pets which you can battle through daily quests. I don't know how much hp they have, but I guess its probably like 5000 or something like that? Some have tried them on the PTR, and I have seen one strategy involving 3 darkmoon tonks. That is probabl...
