Pandaren Water Spirit

Honestly, even with the previous nerf, I find myself using this pet quite often.  It's excellent against any elemental foe, and still does a decent bit of damage. Definitely one of my favorites. 

Just to make it clear for anyone like me who just returned to WoW and is wondering why the 5th ranked Battle Pet on this site isn't that great - it's because they nerfed it and people haven't changed their votes.  Maybe if you read this - go and change yours??

Howlbomb may have been a bit overpowered, but they really destroyed this pet. It's a pain to get, second only to the Celestial Pets, and now he's worse than a lot of pets you can catch out in the world with ease. The other Spirit pets were already mediocre to begin with, they should have redesigned this one rather than ruining it.

Worthless now. I'm actually quite unsure how you want to do the boss pets in Tanaan now. All of them have these stupid secondary weak pets, so you always have to use atleast one Protowhelp for them, leaving you only with two pets for the boss. Whatever, got the achievement.

Howlbomb was a gimmick that trivialized quite a few fights.  And while it was fun while it lasted, they couldn't not nerf it.  Us players should be the ones who have to come up with new strats to defeat enemies, instead howlbomb being the "boss ability" that the developers would have to counter in each fight. 

While geyser can still be useful in combos, because of its delay and its stun. PWS is the weakest hitting geyser pet, but it's a lot less fragile than others.

Of course, the Flowing Pandaren Spirit tamer's Water Spirit can still use Geyser and Whirlpool simultaneously against US.... thanks Blizz...  ;-P

Well the moving of abilities around so they are the same as other water pets is, irritating, to say the least.

I guess we will have to make a few changes and grow as pet trainers by rejigging the battle pets, I'm sure we will be fine, just an annoying change for no real reason.

This change make PWS less useful now, pretty much the same as other water pets with the same specs.

UGH this sucks!!!! 

Aww shucks, As of 7.0 Whirlpool is gone and Dive is in so much for the patch notes listing all the battle pet changes.

I'll miss the howl bomb, I wonder who else has been effected.

I guess in 7.0 we'll miss the Howl bomb. Thank you, Pandaren Water Spirit for all the battles we won together!

Love this cute guy.  Devastating combo with the chrominius.  yet again, Need to find other use for my cute pets that just chew grass around and never see a battle.  There must be other combinations to be seen and I am first pointed out to try other deadly teams.

With Howl just increasing one hit now and this pet changed talents PWS will be replaced by pets like Ikky and Zandalari Anklerender to be used with pets like Gahz'rooki to provide the Geyser or Whirlpool. Interesting changes taking place.

hi, this pet is obviously one of the best pve combat pet bundled with chrominus.

This combo is compulsory for tanaan legendary pets.

cheers

Not having much luck getting this pet, seems the drop rate for this pet compared to other spirts is really low :|

Da Rock!  Foundation of the infamous "Howl Bomb" a must have for any serious battler.  He might not have the post after post on how long he was camped or how difficult to battle to get, yet out of a handful of steady get'er'done pets, he's my reliable go to guy, luv u Rocky!

I believe this is the only pet that gives you the option to use both Whirlpool and Geyser. Other Aquatics that have these abilities usually have them in the same slot, so you must choose one. This combined with any pet that has Howl makes it absolutely lethal against almost all single pet boss fights. Just make sure to hit Geyser first or the combo won't work right.

Unborn Val'Kyr, Pandaren Water Spirit and Stitched Pup. Nuff said.

I wish I had taken this one for the original pick.  I have battled this stupid elemental every day for three months and no sign of this missing spirit.  I have duplicates of all the others but yet to get one of these.   I wonder if Blizz nerfed the drop rate as they used to be cheap on the AH, now they are outrageous.

This pet is very helpful I always use him agains exemple Chi-chi or Niuzo Geyser and Whirpool durning Howl kill all Legendary pets
