Pet Battles

Hi fellow pet collectors.

Anyone got any news about this guy?

I've been lapping several times around winterspring and found no trace of it, it's the last one I miss for the final collection achieve >.<

HNNNNNG

Blizzard why so inconsistent

Just like the Qiraji Guardling is only up during the summer solstice, the snow owl is only up during the winter solstice.

Did a fun combo last night while leveling some stuff.
Mangle>Wild Magic>Black Claw>Hunting Party.

First wave of hunting party against a critter Beast of Fable did nearly 300 a tick, the second wave started at 900.
Non-critter the first wave was roughly 150 while the second wave rocked in at 550ish.

The Macabre Marionette absolutely eats up the first two pets in the Shademaster Kiryn fight:

Nairn
------------------
R1: Cast Death and Decay
R2: Cast Dead Man's Party
R3: Dead Man's Party Continues
R4: Dead Man's Party Continues
R5: Bone Bite
R6: Bone Bite

Nairn heals on R5, but dies on R6.

Mechanical Cat:
R1: Dead Man's Party (Die Here)
R2: Dead Man's Party Continues (Undead Round)

After just those two rounds, the mechanical kitty is below 300 Health. Lightning Storm + Death and Decay + multihit ability + shattered defenses eats him up. At this point it is just clean up. I use a Terrible Turnip to cast Sunlight and Tidal Wave to clean up Lightning Storm and the Turret (killing the mech cat in the process), and then I swap in my 3rd pet for Summer on the first round against him (he casts dodge). Rascal Bot is good here (stuns negate Prowl as long as you are faster than Summer in prowl mode), but everyone has their own pet to kill Summer usually. If you do use Rascal Bot as your 3rd, make sure to cast the heal immediately after stunning Summer for the first time. Should only need to do that once.

Crap!

[Flex]

Murkalot is out. Has some neat abilities but the best is his second slot 1 attack. Blessed Hammer. It is actually a series of 3 hits that total the listed amount, since it is 3 small hits it is much more effective with Wild Magic, Mangle and Black Claw.

This is a naive question: I am thinking about getting into pet battles and also looking for non-grindy ways of getting coins for my alts - is there any benefit to restricting pet battles to your main or can you just spread them out across your alts?

I know pets are account wide but I guess things like the progression through pet trainer quests are per player, so is it better to focus on your main?

[Worldie]

Everything is account wide, also the quests to progress through trainers.

No real reason to limit them to your main, except if maybe you managed to grab the exp hat

[Zalaria]

The xp hat gets sent to every character I create. Most of them just dump it in the bank and forget it exists.

If you care about the Valor Points, then pick which toon does the Pandaria Tamers/Spirit Tamers as those reward valor. Also, if you care who gets the Lesser Charms, pick the appropriate toon for those. If you do plan on using multiple toons, make sure to disperse enough bandages to each for when you need them (I use them a lot, but I still have 50 left on my main pet battler). That's all I can think of that isn't account wide.

Aside question since we don't do a lot of discussion:
Are there any generic pets yall have found to be really good that aren't commonly known (for example, rabbits, snails, crabs are all pretty well telegraphed as particularly good by the community, so not those). I've been trying to clean up my journal and level some random things, so I started with my Bandicoons and Civits, but am ready to move on to some other pet types. I don't know if those two are particularly good types of pets, but am working on getting everything to 25 one day.

Umm.. did you all miss this?

breeding pets in your garrison, chance at epics.

Just a quick notice. A new pet this year for christmas. I don't have access to sites here, but I think it's called Rotten Helper. Should be coming out when the presents do (so around christmas day if I had to guess).

[Worldie]

Some people were selling it on chat so must be related to quests I guess.
