Thoughts on the Christoph Von Feasel fight?
Posted: August 6th, 2014, 1:10 pm
So I've recently had a chance to look at and try out Christoph Von Feasel's new pet battle daily at the Darkmoon Faire, in the WoD beta. I was a little underwhelmed by the overall difficulty of the fight relative to Jeremy Feasel.
His first pet, Syd (the Squid!) was for me the hardest part of the encounter due to his Bubble ability. From the looks of the ability tooltip (shields the pet from two attacks, same as Decoy) it's not functioning correctly in Beta. As it stands, it shields his squid for two *turns* regardless of how many times you hit him on each turn. Once that gets fixed, I see the fight being much easier. I found pets with Slicing Winds and Lift-off effective here because Slicing Winds will (theoretically, one day) break through Bubble in a single turn and Lift-off helps you to avoid his Whirlpool. Jade Owl would be especially nice here due to its aquatic resistance- I didn't have one so I went with a Pterrordax Hatchling due to the attack stat. Harpy Youngling also worked.
The last two pets are fairly cut and dry beast, and can be countered by most Mech pets. I like Mr. Bling due to his speed and the flexibility of Launch Rocket, and found he mopped up Mr. Pointy the Direhorn and half of Otto the cow. I picked Darkmoon Zeppelin for my third slot because I found Decoy helpful in slowing down the Cow/reducing the likelihood of him healing. I imagine you could get away with almost any mech pet in the third slot, or maybe even a carry pet for powerleveling.
I made a quick video showing the fight as it stands in Beta if anyone hasn't seen it yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ADvWL7BJI8
I'm curious to know what other people have tried (or, if they don't have beta access, have theorycrafted but not tried yet) for this fight! It seems to be flexible but there are always better teams! Thoughts?
