This is post TWW pre-patch, so something has been changed enough to mess up this strat.

Multiple attempts with an HH Iron Starlet failed. Deckhand did not die and enter his undead round on turn 3 necessitating a Powerball attack to force him there.

I didn't have a sweep in the beginning, but my MPD did die on the very turn he was supposed to explode (but before he could, obviously). Luckily my leveling pet was 24 and a quick smack finished things off.

My Iron Starlette did not oneshot Dead Deckhand Leonard with the Windup+Supercharge combo, so it messed up the script. It might be because my breed is H/H, but it says any breed on the guide so that might need to be updated

If I may suggest one change, Supercharge isn't needed against Corrupted Slime.

Because magic pets can't be dealt more than 35% of their maximum health in a single hit, the Supercharge is wasted.

If you go strait into another Wind-Up without waiting for Supercharge to come off cooldown it will make the fight slightly faster and less close at the end. I tested this and was able to kill Corrupted Slime with my Iron Starlette.

Great strat btw =)

(OP) Lazey

wrote on 2020-03-15 15:09:23

Sometimes you simply use pet abilities when they are off cooldown, that's when I rather use a priority lists than writing down repeating steps.

Taking the last 3 lines of this strategy means for every round you check these 3 lines for matching conditions or ability cooldown.

Priority 1: Enemy pet has 560HP or less? No? Go ahead to Prio 2... Yes? Explode!
Priority 2: Thunderbolt has cooldown? Yes? Go to Prio 3... No? Use Thunderbolt and on the next round start checking conditions for Prio 1 again
Priority 3: If you get here by not matching conditions for Prio1 or 2 simply use Breath this round as filler since it has no cooldown, for the next round start checking Prio conditions

Even if Shroud is listing it as steps https://www.wow-petguide.com/index.php?Strategy=7678 is a good example for a priority list that otherwise would generate a wall of text.

Prio 1: Blistering Cold
Prio 2: Iron Bark

Use Blistering Cold whenever it's off cooldown (incl. round 1), all other rounds use Iron Bark.

wrote on 2020-03-15 14:49:22

Most battle pets in World of Warcraft come with variations in their 3 stats (H)itpoints, (S)peed and (P)ower. We call that Breed and there are formulas to define exactly how the stats are weighted.

Addons/Websites use these formulas to show you a Breed ID (letters or icons) no matter what level your pet has so you can easily see if a pet is worth leveling/upgrading or you better find another version of that pet.

H/H means that you have this specific pet with the highest possible hitpoints, S/S are the fastest and P/P the most powerful ones. B is for balanced stats so B/B has all stats handled equally. P/B would be a balanced pet with slightly higher power. That doesn't mean that every H/H pet will have the same hitpoints at level 25, this is different for most pets.

When we talk about breed restrictions in the strategies and you'll see S/S this usually means, that the fastest version of a specific pet is recommended or mandatory to attack first. If we set specific values like >1500HP it means a pet with less HP eventually dies too fast and the strategy probably won't work. (edited)

Not sure what you're talking about. The Supercharge-buffed Wind-Up one shots Leonard, but he's an undead so he comes back to life immune one round. You use that round to get another Wind-Up prepared before he dies for good.

My HH starlette just falls short of one shotting Leonard, but a powerball next round kills him and can pick back up right afterwards with the strat.
Edit: i mean HH doesn't get him into his undead round, left with 103 health.

Mordred#1140

wrote on 2019-02-27 07:24:12

This is an absolutely terrible strat. Why is it even up here? There is no need for Iron Starlette to use Supercharge against Corrupted Slime. Corrupted Slime is a Magical pet; it cannot take damage above 35%. Wind-Up x 2 will reach this limit. Supercharge will not increase the damage.

Also, Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling, despite his advantages over Magical pets, is useless against the Tentacle. The Tentacle gives out massive damage, even against MPD, and is faster. Should not be used in this fight.

Geki wrote on 2019-03-12 18:59:26

The point of the MPD is its dragon-type attack to get the final pet low enough to finish off with explode, allowing your low level pet to soak the xp, quicker than other pets with explode could.

May I suggest a rework as there is no level exp worth mentioning, so the explode strategy is unnecessary. Mech dragon can finish it up with Breath, no problem, but the strategy as described is a little more complicated than needed now.

This is a good strat, but to Pla2pus#1287's proposed changes I would add: the Mech Pandaren Dragon is faster than the slime, so if it's going to take two attacks to kill the slime I'd go Thunderbolt and Breath. I'd also sacrifice Explode for Decoy since the XP nerf.

They nerfed the xp on these fights for 8.1; I think it's because you can redo the fights over and over (for the family meta achievement) and I don't think they wanted people easily farming pet xp endlessly.

Suggested update to your script:

quit [ enemy(#1).active & !enemy.ability(Sweep:457).usable ]
ability(Supercharge:208) [ self.aura(Wind-Up:458).exists ]
ability(Powerball:566) [ enemy(#2).played & ! self.aura(Supercharged:207).exists ]
ability(Explode:282) [ enemy(#3).hp <= 560 ]
ability(Thunderbolt:779) [ enemy(#2).hp < 245 ]
ability(#1)

This pair of lines sets up the leveling pet to try use an attack, rather than swapping out. Poor Chi-Chi.

Yeah, a leveling pet should typically be in slot 3 on a suicide leveling strategy. I apologise for not making that clear.

The team of my own design that I'd been using had been hit or miss, and it required a L23 or L24 carry pet. This one, on the other hand, worked like a charm. It gained my L4 carry pet six levels. Thanks for the post, Lazey & Xu-Fu!

S/S Dust Bunny 2/2/2 (or any critter with dodge + stampede and speed > 330)
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling 1/2/1 + any level 1+ pet

Dodge -> Stampede -> Flurry -> Dodge -> Stampede -> if u are still alive use Flurry

Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling:

vs 2nd enemy pet-> Thunderbolt -> Breath untill enemy pet dies.
vs 3rd enemy pet-> Breath until enemy pet has 560 hp or less -> Explode

When you use explode, the leveling pet will get the exp, since they will be the only pet left alive

'Prio' is short for 'priority', meaning use the listed abilities in the stated order of importance.

It worked, but it's a very frustrating strategy. Trying to figure out when to safely introduce my leveling pet was annoying.

If you explode your MPD your leveling pet will be the only one left and gets the XP. No need to switch to it during battle.

In spite of the strategy claiming that any breed of Iron Starlette works, this consistently failed if I used an H/H starlette and consistently succeeded if I used a P/P one. You need enough damage in one windup-supercharge-windeup sequence to kill Deckhand immediately, and H/H doesn't do it

After failing to live long enough to explode, tried to tinker with the strategy a bit.
Little point doing supercharge against magic type - it won't increase wind-up damage much (if at all), still gonna be 1/3 health. I went with couple simple 2x windups and then a couple powerballs with my P/P starlette and there was still a few HP left by the time second enemy died (also absorbed first hit of the last opponent).
Also replaced explode with decoy, used it right after dead starlette -> level -> dragonling swap. Attacks might be at random, but it covered for the hardest hits. It worked same turn dragonling triggered failsafe, so there was likely an extra turn of space in case something goes wrong.
Still pretty tight with leveling pet, should probably look for a better match vs magic ones.

Seems like its "cutting it close", so critical hits will probably be very bad news.

Any Level 1+ Pet	Lazey	* 9.0.2 approved * It's very rare, but if an early Sweep forces a pet swap on your side, I recommend a Restart. Level Pet will get all XP cause both carry pets die.	Level 1+ Script	2	4.5	76%	72	120 2:00	12+
