I think it was elemental vs Robert Craig has taken me the most attempts so far My team for that was: HP Crimson Shale Hatchling (122 - Burn, Poison Spit, Stoneskin) Dark Phoenix Hatchling (112 - Burn, Darkflame, Dark Rebirth) Living Sandling (212 - Sand Bolt, Stoneskin, Quicksand) An armor shell li...

[1] Emerald Shale Hatchling (212 - Leech Life, Sticky Web, Stoneskin) P/S Jademist Dancer (222 - Jade Claw, Rain Dance, Geyser) P/P Sun Sproutling (221 - Club, Healing Wave, Fist of the Forest) vs Murkleston - Web > Stoneskin > Leech Life > keep alternating Web and Leech Life. finish off with Jade C...

Anyone else having trouble getting that breed of Iron Starlette? I was hoping to get a a few of them since more health works better when using Explode. I've got 19 of the buggers now, 8 from my toons and the rest from the auction house (ones that hadn't been learned yet and were still of unknown bre...

This seems like a great guide, but why don't you include the two "Classic" tamers that also reward bags? I would not list a strategy for them because any pair of 20-somethings can beat them - if you have gotten this far I know you can beat them with 2 pets if you want the XP from the fight and not ...

I've been able to trim up Sludgy a bit in the Thundering Spirit fight. If you use the [pet]Sen'jin Fetish[/pet] with [ability]Flame Breath[/ability] and [ability]Rot[/ability], sludgy will always go down in 4 rounds of Flame Breath as it is a 100% hit chance and always has enough damage to kill Slu...

Another fun, though not as fast, combo I found was to start with Spirit Crab and Claw until your bonus round when you cast Rot to make Nitun Undead. Then you follow up with something like the Infected Fawn (Adrenaline Rush and Flurry) to finish him off. Heck, any 3 undead pets with a beast attack sh...

Just wanted to post my experience regarding the listed strategy for Nitun.... burst team 2 is tagged "ideal" against him, implying that it should pretty much always work, but I rarely see it work. An explode team is definitely what you want against Nitun since he never gets to kill anything with Ra...

Some more thoughts on this. My views are pve-centric since I don't pvp. But even pvp'ers need to pve to level pets, right? I should mention somewhere that I usually don't get excited by H/H breeds. I'd much rather have P/P and/or S/S versions. I know fliers have the +speed racial, and I was under th...

Here's a small tweak for the Flowing Pandaren Spirit fight. from: 1: Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling [4-P/P] (1,1,2) ... vs Tiptoe - Peck until your Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling dies > switch to carry pet to: 1: Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling [4-P/P] (1, 2 ,2) ... vs Tiptoe - Peck > Adrenaline Rush > Pec...

Definitely go with stoning the P/P Wildhammer; its a great pet (and I use it against the Pandaren Water Spirit tamer). AFAIK, there are only 3 birds (and one moth) that have a P/P breed: The Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling and Imperial Eagle Chick both have H/P/S of 1319/341/260 while the P/P Dragonbon...

Okay, so I did some work today on testing Lil' Bling versus Major Payne and it looks like that will be my new favorite strategy. Methodology: I have two Lil' Blings but only one Grasslands Cottontail, so half of the trials were done with an S/B Tolai Hare. I used Lil' Bling til dead, swapped to a ca...

Major Payne fight ("The Work") Using the Corefire Imp / Cogblade Raptor strat this is what I have so far: 22+21, 20, 21, 21, 24, 22, 22+21 I went and won again with a crit, but so far in 9 attempts I've lost twice. Not great odds, but without work to compare against the other strats (I have 2 other...

For a tradeoff, you can get rid of one part of the RNG of infinite whelp vs honky tonk. I've been testing out switching healing flame for weakness with good results ... I'm not sure if this is helpful for you or not, but something to consider. Interesting, I'll definitely try this out next time the...

Been meaning to write more complete descriptions of my teams in the tournament thread, but until then ... Sully 1: Frog faster than 263 -> Jubling (212 - Tongue Lash, Healing Wave, Swarm of Flies) 2: undead, preferably with Beast attack (Blood Fang doesn't heal vs undead pet) -> Vampiric Batling (12...

I am pretty sure [profile]Stencil[/profile] was the person who posted the thoughts on this fight involving this (sorry, too lazy to look it up, brain fried from the same fight 40+ times today). Yeah, back in the 5.3 thread someone noted that the shift in positions of the Mechanical Dragonling's abi...

Oh, and I should admit I have NOT tested Stencil's Major Payne strat with a lesser rabbit, but I *did* trust that he's tested it sufficiently to be able to say my comment on the rabbit breed was incorrect. Well, if there's one thing I'm exhaustively familiar with its the use of rabbits against Majo...

But why use the Sunflower on Yu'la, Broodling of Yu'lon? Why not just use another lantern? Illuminate does more damage than sunlight. Anything more than 0 would be more damage than Sunlight vs Yu'lon since Emerald Presence blocks all of Sunlight's damage. I guess that using Sunlight does clearly re...

Actually you should try (if you have it) the [pet]Tiny White Carp[/pet] instead, as it has the same abilities as the water spirit, does not suffer the 50% increased damage from aquatic attacks, and actually has a higher power (barely) than the water spirit. When I update the guide again (this weeke...

These are my teams for the 4 Celestial Legendaries. My goal was to lock in fast, bulletproof strats that didn't use up to many of my good or interesting pets. I wanted to save as many of those for the underbosses as possible. I ended up with two Daylight/Explode teams and two teams based around Pand...

I'm loving the Skywisp Moth as an Aquatic nuker! I've been trying him out lately as possible replacement for the yellow moth for the end of Hyruna. The problem is that Dor's shield reduces damage from the attacks *before* you factor in the multiplier for a Flying attack being strong against Aquatic...
