I do mostly 2vs2 and 3vs3 and i have to say i foind myself in many situations were thos extra 2 interuptts of MM could have saved the game by preventing healz also they crit much higher which arena is all about burst damage or lasting longer. Im having serious doubts on my spec for Arena and i was joping even pleading a little bit for a post on MM vs BM in arena. I love my spec more than i lov... well i love it alot plz save me from medicore MMness that is seeminly more and more the right path to go.<BR/><BR/> Anetheron server Quickslash lvl 70 & fathiful mean er.. giant red eating kitty Dahm, your BM brother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229862083612680011.post-36545933829439937292007-09-19T14:11:00.000-04:002007-09-19T14:11:00.000-04:00Mera... you're probably right.

It always seems to take way too long for a debuff on my pet to go away with mend pet on him...<BR/><BR/>And the tooltip was thus written by insano monkeys.<BR/><BR/>My problem. I absolutely doubt that they changed the mechanics of the dispel ability when they made mend pet a hot. And I know for damn sure that when it was channeled, it took far too long to get rid of debuffs. That was back when a tick was one second. And I had to do a rank one MP at least twice to get rid of curses or poisons. <BR/><BR/>The odds of 6 ticks failing to dispel a debuff if its an even up 50% chance?<BR/><BR/>1.5%<BR/><BR/>The odds of it happening if it's a random either/or dispel?<BR/><BR/>44%<BR/><BR/>So I might do some field work tonight. Get the pet poisoned... and count the ticks to dispel... do this a few times, and get a clue.<BR/><BR/>3 outta 4 times any debuff should be gone in two ticks. Does this seem to be the case when you play? It doesn't really seem to be my experience...Dagashaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954548169414775934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229862083612680011.post-90589663697211077142007-09-19T13:12:00.000-04:002007-09-19T13:12:00.000-04:00God knows which part of your anatomy that was pull...God knows which part of your anatomy that was pulled out of -- Mend Pet has a 50 % chance to dispel ANY harmful effects, not a random class then see if one exists.Merahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15598412942184440915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229862083612680011.post-41579527131239175692007-09-19T11:36:00.000-04:002007-09-19T11:36:00.000-04:00Shal.. buddy...My combat log and says molten armor...Shal.. buddy...<BR/><BR/>My combat log and says molten armor is doing 103 per hit... I don't remember if the scrolling combat text agrees with it, but I don't remember it not. Assuming similar scale, when my +spell damage is 800 or so, I should be doin 125. <BR/><BR/>Although when MA crits, it only crits for 125. <BR/><BR/>I'll double check when I get home. Get a screen shot or something. Time to torment some hellfire swine :)<BR/><BR/>And the problem with Imp Mend pet... that tick is now every three seconds instead of every second. And the removal of baneful effects is random (i.e. it's not 50% chance to remove any debuff, it's 50% chance to remove a specific debuff... say a curse, even if theres no curse, only that poison effect... I think. Might need to ask BRK this.) As a decursive effect, I'm not sure it's really worth it.Dagashaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954548169414775934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229862083612680011.post-72237841123195804602007-09-19T02:56:00.000-04:002007-09-19T02:56:00.000-04:00I might be crazy, but as a mage, I *want* a hunter...I might be crazy, but as a mage, I *want* a hunter to burn BW on me. Even with Improved Mend Pet, he gets hurt regardless. With my high crit chance (~25%, more when fully raid buffed) and his fast attack speed, he's going to be clearing a lot of harmful effects. 15 seconds of healing? I hurt him more than he hurts me while I barrel toward the hunter in question. Impact stun, that half- second before the next tick (which only has a 50% chance to dispel and then, what, another 50% chance to dispel Impact instead of Ignite?) gives me a few more yards to get inside the dead zone and kite the big red beasty around. Yeah, it's not much, but it's something. And while the hunter blows the mana and a GCD on Mend, then blows his BW cooldown to eat my squishy self, any partners I might have get that bit of time to finish him or his partner off. <BR/><BR/>If it's just me and a hunter in world PvP, I'll take the initial death and come back up to kill the hunter a few times while he waits for his 18 second "I Win" button to get off cooldown.Zballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920496618913694660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229862083612680011.post-55642443098999622292007-09-19T01:19:00.000-04:002007-09-19T01:19:00.000-04:00Interesting numbers..

However, <A HREF="http://www.wowwiki.com/Formulas:Plus_damage_and_Plus_healing#Spells_with_Additional_Effects" REL="nofollow">Molten Armor does not gain any extra damage from spell damage</A>. It's always 75 damage per hit, although it can crit and proc Ignite. If we assume that the fire mage has 30% crit, Ignite and the pet does 12 attacks, that's <I>at most</I> 1413 damage. And note that this is with the mage sitting still for those extra 3 seconds and not using Blazing Speed, Blink, Frost Nova, Blast Wave or Dragon's Breath to gain some distance. If he is actually doing something to protect himself, you can cut that damage to half. 706 damage doesn't sound too imbalanced. Especially when your pet also has Avoidance to mitigate Blast Wave and Dragon's Breath damage by 50%.<BR/><BR/>Still, if you let your pet wander off on your own, you are gimping yourself. The pet may be mighty, but it's still only ~30% of an average BM hunter's damage.<BR/><BR/>However, there <I>is</I> a valid reason to slap a Mend Pet on your kitty before yelling "Go get 'em, boy!". Improved Mend Pet. With 2 talent points that's a 50% chance to dispel a harmful effect per tick. Frost Nova? Gone. Blast Wave? Gone. Dragon's Breath? Gone. Chilled? Gone. You'll save your Bestial Wrath for an opportunity where you can get the maximum benefit from it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178860601734528122noreply@blogger.com
