Hunter: Another new pet: Wasps

Innor · August 26, 2008, 01:47 AM

Was looking at the rhino link that was thrown up and I stumbled over this:

Petopia: Wasps [WotLK]

Wasps are Ferocity and have the ability

Sting

Your wasps stings for [rank] Nature damage, and decreases the armor of the target by [rank] for 20 sec. While affected, the target cannot stealth or turn invisible.

1260 armour reduction with a DoT? Say hello to a popular raid pet !

I'm normally not into flying pets at all but this one has me pumped. I just wish it was a cunning pet and not ferocity.

I guess the issue with this is does it stack? What is the duration? Cooldown?

Other than that, I love the wasps .. check out the video BRK did, they have little afterburners when they use Dive!

They have afterburners? Might have just found my 5th pet then

Other poison DoT's do stack (in fact, look at the massive nerf they had to hit scorpids with a few patches ago) but I guess that there will be the usual limit of 5, it won't scale particularly well, and it might well eat focus. I was just thinking that the armour reduction was most useful given level 80 bosses will have re-adjusted armour values and a lot of Wrath of the Lich King gear has ArP on it.

Remains to be seen, but I kinda like the idea of afterburners and the annoying sound they make anyway.

Stacking ... was actually wondering about the Armor Reduction stacking with CoR, Sunder, etc.

on live atm everything stacks... CoR, Sunder etc...

prob won't change unless the amount of armor pen in game is so huge that you can effectively reduce a boss's armor to 0
