I definitely have to agree with the last two posters and I would to revise my earlier complaint about Cyclone. It doesn't need "some kind of nerf" it just needs to no longer interact with Rain Dance (or any other hit modifiers). They can leave the crit chance in to give the combo a little OOMPH

You advocate fixing Haunt, and then admit that you use a Jademist, and hint that you use the DAH as well (unless you were being sarcastic...I can be a bit dense at times ;-). These two pets are right up there with the Valk in terms of broken abilities. In my defense I started using the clonedancer ...

I haven't had any luck getting my garrison upgraded. If I could I'd definitely be working on the dailies. I am very much stuck here. If anyone has any advice let me know...damn plan vendor has no plans...In particular let me know if I need to get an alchemist to unlock his garrison or to get to lev...

Yes, but a QoL improvement for you is a QoL downgrade for your opponent. Your opponent is supposed to have ways to counter you. AoE is currently very strong, but it has drawbacks: the damage is high, but it scales down against less than 3 opponents; and AoE/sweeper strats impose tactical inflexibil...

Possible. But how much would it have to heal in order to be a proper counter to Thunderbolt/Avalanche? Those do base 40 dmg, so it would have to heal base 45+. That's essentially the magnitude of Wish. So now we have a Wish-sized smart heal. But then what happens when you play SmartWish against a '...

Hrm. If i understood the talk about Hit chances in Wod right. Hit debuffs will actually lower the chance of getting a high hit on attacks with variable damage. So Sandstorm thusly nerfs the damage output of Crush even further when active, beside the chance to miss. Nope. Initial testing shows that ...

So now I'd expect this behavior from a +X% buff and -Y% debuff, when using one of the new high-damage-range abilities: Calculate 100+X-Y % accuracy. If less than or equal to 100%, then your hit chance is now 100+X-Y %. If greater than 100%, then you will always hit, and your chance for a positive r...

Kbp, thanks for doing some additional testing on accuracy reductions! I am still quite curious about what happens when we mix an Accuracy Buff and an Accuracy Debuff. I know the beta servers went down for maintenance about an hour ago but if anyone is interested in helping me test this today or this...

Well it looks like the Theorycrafting thread was the right place to post!! Below is what Celestalon posted describing the new 100% accuracy moves For battle pet abilities with damage variance, here is an example of how it works: Let's say your ability inflicts 200 to 440. The average would be 320. W...

While I was testing, I noticed that when I had a critical hit it never seemed to be for a value on the low end of the damage range so I decided to flush this out with some testing. To help myself from going mad I opted to use a Jademist Dancer with the Rain Dance buff to test out what the damage dis...

H'ok, time for an update since I finished analyzing yesterday's data. Let me start off by saying that there is nothing quite as exhilarating as starting a tamer battle, getting a single attack in, and then forfeiting...ok maybe doing it 300 times in a row >_> Instead of jumping around different abil...

Poofah, thanks for the awesome idea! Luckily I did keep all the raw data in a spreadsheet so below are the requested histograms Shadow Slash http://i.imgur.com/vUHjmLd.jpg Steam Vent http://i.imgur.com/f9KDB8E.jpg I am going to see if I can figure out how to set the spacing on the horizontal axis (s...

I've been testing the new damage ranges in Beta and I've found some odd results (summarized below) EDIT: It looks like the number of trials just barely got cut off. It was 188 for Shadow Shock (with Ghostly Skull and Unborn Val'kyr) and 52 for Steam Vent http://i.imgur.com/njZlBXw.jpg The piece that...

Regarding the new 100% moves I completed the below spreadsheet to compare the old dmg to the current dmg. The one thing that really jumps out is that Expunge's dmg got cut waaaaay down (line highlighted in red). I sent my first tweet in nearly 2 years to point this out too! http://t.co/0Webq6GyNo P....

Add me as a friend if you want kpb#1554 There is also a warcraft pet guild in the beta and anyone in the guild can invite you to it. I just sent you a request but I won't be in game until after work today (around 5:30pm eastern) so we should touch base then. I would also looooooove a guild invite i...

All, I was lucky enough to receive a Beta invite in the last wave (on my birthday no less!) and I was definitely going to spend some time testing out Pet Battles. Does anyone have any good suggestions for what I should test? I have a few ideas to start with listed below and I'll continue to update t...

I just sent you a friend request. I won't be able to trade until later today but we can talk on Battle.net. If you don't see the request feel free to add zystyl#1639

We actually traded once before but I think you have removed me from your friends list XP. I'm going to add you again now and we can talk. I'm mostly interested in your TCG pets. You can add zystyl#1639 if you didn't see a request from me

Thanks for the get trade Tekulve2012! I have update the OP with what I have and what I can offer
