CaraMoon#21100	My very first strategy here because I think it could help others who didn't scroll to all the old comments in the internet. After many hours of trying many many different strategies, this one worked in the first try for me. Found it on Wowhead, thanks to mimie9419 for relieving me of this painful fight :D Script thanks to fantasma	RNG Script	2	4.6	N/A	40	63 1:03	9
nogulpfrog	66.6% win rate script thanks to wist	RNG Script	2	4.5	N/A	45	61 1:01	9
DragonsAfterDark	When it works, it works. When it doesn't, well, blame Slicing Wind RNG. Updated with a non-shop pet in slot #2. Same RNG is present because of Slicing Wind & Crits Best of luck!	RNG Script	2	4.7	N/A	10	54 0:54	8
Kalagren	Low RNG One of 2 things have to happen for success, either Corpse Explosion or Burst must land in order to win. Highest health breeds you have in slots 1 and 2 recommended.	RNG Script	2	5.0	N/A	0	51 0:51	7
Gladiator#1824	Slight RNG but i made it up myself and did it a few times, worked the best out of every thing else.	RNG	2	5.0	N/A	1	75 1:15	8-9
WhyDaRumGone	Nut Barrage has 80% hit chance, just needs to hit once or twice.	Breed	2	5.0	N/A	1	70 1:10	6-8
Minivivi	Strategy updated 11 August 23. Still RNG, but such is this fight. Pets must survive Slicing Wind hits to do all their moves outlined below.	Breed RNG	2	4.0	N/A	0	72 1:12	9-10
Sawfty#11362	As suggested by Liax. This is a very tough fight, but even with critical hits from Gloamwing, you should be able to make it through with the listed pets. Good luck!	Breed RNG	2	2.8	N/A	4	95 1:35	13+
DragonsAfterDark	This does have a chance to fail if Gloamwing crits the Lovebird with both Void Gates. You can take a chance with a non-Breed Restricted Maggot in slot 2, though I haven't tested double 1424 health Maggots.	Breed Script	2	0.0	N/A	0	65 1:05	9
LazyBattles	This is 100% Gladiator#1824 strategy, all credit goes to them. I just reworked it with a Scurrying Mawrat since I did not have the other Mawrat leveled up, and since Scurrying Mawrat has creeping insanity and haunt in the same slot I just re-adapted it to use corpse explosion instead. If you have multiple Scurrying Mawrat, use whichever breed has the highest hp. Quite a bit of RNG, my Mawrat died multiple times before I was able to get both creeping insanity and explosion. There are also circumstances where your Dust Bunny will die too soon from Slicing Wind, and not be alive to soak the next Void Portal. However if you can get lucky it works very similarly to the haunt strategy	RNG Script	2	0.0	N/A	0	65 1:05	9-10
Flyride	Rat needs to be hit twice or it dies and it can't hit Gormling six times by Slicing Blast	Breed RNG	2	0.0	N/A	0	70 1:10	8
WhyDaRumGone	Work in progress	RNG	2	0.0	N/A	0	52 0:52	7

This works but it's extremely RNG dependent.

1. Dust bunny has to be hit with a 1 or 2 Slicing Wind. 3 will kill it.
2. Your second snail has to be hit by one 1 and one 1 or 2 Slicing Wind or it will die. Exception might stand for an HH snail but still low chance here.
3. Your third snail has to be hit by at most a 2 and a 2 Slicing Wind. Again, exception might stand for HH snails but I'm not sure it would have enough damage in these scenarios.

Assuming all three options for Slicing Wind are equally weighted (not sure they are, 2 seems to come up more often), this puts you in a really bad place. Now, I don't have a better strategy so this is what I went with as well but it's really really rough.

I hate that the strats for critters on gloamwing are so RNG dependent. I have done this about 30 times now, and everytime I am unlucky somewhere in the fight

This really relies on you getting crits and gloamwing not (or third hits for that matter.)

The amount of luck you need with this fight and critters is just abysmal. Especially since SL pre-patch when you can't rely on stampede. It's pure rng. Will he crit with predatory strike? GG. Will he hit three times with wind? GG. Just keep trying until rng favors you and you win... (edited)

Hatchling:pass
Nuts: Adrenaline rush, woodchipper, stampede (pet dies)

Works with S/B Dust Bunny and H/P Shimmershell Snail. If you can not get acidic goo off on your second snail, replace your 1st ooze touch with the last snail with a acidic goo.

Pray to GMGesus 'cause without some luck you'll lose Dust Bunny in round 3 (restart) or your Darkmoon Hatchling will have 75 health, hit Gloaming for the last time and leave him with 14 HP to finish you off with!

can we have some other ideas for critters as the snails do not work. I have tried hundreds of times now and the last snail always died with Gloamwing having 600 hp plus. I have exactly what it says above, even tried HB but nothing. Please some more ideas

wrote on 2017-11-25 13:42:43

Your pet speed will never matter against Gloamwing because of the Flying buff at the start and that snails are never going to be faster even after the Flying buff drops.

Also, for those looking for another H/H snail, currently the only snail with that breed is the Shimmershell Snail from Darkshore.
