Any Level 15+ Pet Any Level 15+ Pet	Jagûar	Suggested by a fair number of ppl on a different strategy for the same fight, now having tried and tested it myself, it’s now here for everyone to browse. Also take note of the enemies abilities that continuously change every time you enter combat with them. Ideally you want: Arcane Explosion and-/or Arcane Storm active on the enemy pets.

Any Level 15+ Pet	DragonsAfterDark	You can probably get away with a 10+ for mechs, and probably anything except flyers, but do 15+ to be safe. Because the enemies can have random abilities, and don't use them in any particular order, sometimes a level 14 flyer will survive, and sometimes a level 19 will die. Use a flyer as the level pet at your discretion.	Level 15+ Script	2	5.0	N/A	15	83 1:23	9+

Did this with a lvl 24 leveling pet. No issues with the strat. Only ended up needing Mechanical Dragonling

Depending on the RNG of the fight you can use a lvl 1 pet instead of a 15 to get experience. I've done it a few times. As I said though, it's completely RNG. (edited)

Either wowdb or Wowhead, their IDs in links are the same as the internal ones.

By the way, having got the number, you can generate that ability's tooltip which bases upon a specific stat value. As the only stat the tooltips use dynamically is Power, you will use two numbers over here, e.g.:
/script FloatingPetBattleAbility_Show(110,nil,341,nil)
where "110" is ability Bite, "341" is the Power of a user and "nil" are other stats unspecified.

I was working on the Bloodgazer Team Rumble, and I used two Zandalari (Anklerender P/P and Kneebiter P/S) with this fight, Blottis (Size Doesn't Matter), and the one with the Shimmering Aquafly quest. Worked like a charm, with Anklerender in the first slot.

I solo'd this battle with the Bloodbrood Whelpling (1,1,1) for the Snowfeather Team Rumble:

Use Drain Blood after Surge of Power, keep Bone Barrage on CD, and Breath in-between. Easy Sauce.

Any 2 power breed dragonkin with Tail Sweep and Healing Flame make mincemeat of these manafiends as long as they're NOT P/S breed.
I use Infinite Whelpling and Spawn of Onyxia.
The strat depends on their ability rng somewhat but it basically consists of just Tail Sweep and Healing Flame with some passing at whatever moment/s necessary, i.e.; if Evanescence or Prismatic Barrier is up. I don't worry about what abilities they have, the script takes care of it.
It's a fairly simple TDScript as well.

quit [ self(#3).dead & enemy(#3).active ]
standby [ self(#1).active & enemy(#3).hp<900 ]
ability(168) [ enemy.aura(311).exists & !self.hp.full ]
standby [ enemy.aura(311).exists ]
ability(168) [ self.hp<1050 ]
standby [ enemy.aura(443).exists ]
ability(122)
change(#2) [ !self(#2).played ]

I should clarify; of the 7 pets available with both of these abilities, Crimson Whelpling and Wild Crimson Hatchling are unsuitable as they are speed breeds, and Untamed Hatchling is unsuitable as although it has just the one breed and it's H/P, its speed stat is too high.
That leaves a choice of 4; Infinite Hatchling and Spawn of Onyxia which come in P/P, P/S and P/B breeds, Onyxian Whelpling which comes in P/B, and Nightmare Whelpling which comes in H/P.
Onyxian is probably a bit rare now, being a WoW 5th Anniversary FoS, and not many want to pay what most want to charge for Nightmare on the AH, but the other two (the two I use) are easily obtainable.

About 70% of the time I am able to level 2 pets with the Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling. So it can be done to 1 pet this fight.

Many people have pointed out that a level 10+ doesn't always survive. I'd say that the leveling pet needs at least 1000 hp. It has nothing to do with level...

The strategy as written never worked for me because the Arcane Explosions kept killing my Level Pet. I needed to kill faster so I used Nexus Whelpling 1/2/2 instead of Clockwork Gnome and attacked with it after rotating my Level Pet in. Arcane Storm if needed, then Mana Surge and Tail Sweep took care of the first 2, brought back Dragonling for clean-up, Decoy, Breath and done.

My MPD/Nexus Whelping is my everyday leveling random pets with wild pets set. It also worked like a charm with this Pet Tamer although to be fair my MPD did almost wipe all 3 out single handedly!

Santo wrote on 2017-07-01 07:32:29

I think I lucked out....MPD (S/S - Ninja) took them all out on his own. Followed the strat up until swapping the level pet and then just used breath and decoy when it was off cd. Cheers :)

I'm not sure if I just got good luck with the fight or what, but I found it super simple. doesn't really matter what abilities they have, and it doesn't matter if you have a clockwork gnome (I don't). Admittedly, I was working on a level 20 pet, so that's a limiting factor.

Anyway. I used Spawn of onyxia, 212
Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling 112
Leveling pet (20+ for cleave damage to be safe.

Round 1+2 lift off
Round 3 Tail sweep and healing flame on cd until Font of Mana is dead
Seed of mana comes in
Round 1 Tail sweep
Round 2+3 lift off, should avoid surge of power
Round four, healing flame on CD or tail sweep until Seed of Mana is dead
Essence of mana came in and used surge of power, finishing off my spawn. I brought in my leveling pet, then swapped to my pandaren dragonling while they were recovering.
1. Decoy
2. Breath until the Essence of Mana is dead.

Worked well, didn't need to rez, got decent xp. Didn't need to start anything over, although my level 20 pet was definitely a little low.

I think you mean 211 for Spawn, if you're using Lift-Off. Was confused :)

Also, Spawn of Onyxia P/S just soloed all three of them if using Healing Flame on CD. Never had to bring in either Dragonling or leveling 20+ pet.

It's up to RNG what abilities the mana fiends have, if all of them get Arcane Explosion level 10+ is usually not enough.
You could also get 3 fiends without Arcane Explosion and then a level 1 can be used.
But you won't know before you start the battle.

Your post gave me an idea. Ran with my Anklerender, then Kneebiter, both with black claw then hunting party and a few leaps if I had health left. Finished with my Bloodgazer using swarm. Easy victory.

Murkidan (2,1,2) other 2 pets were not important. Murmorphosis, Eye Beam, Fel Immolate, Fel Immolate. Rinse repeat Murkidan should take out first 2 easy, and die on 3rd, then use either pet to do couple of hits, i had Grommloc (1,2,1) used Mighty Charge and fight was done. This was for the direbeak hatchling final challenge before getting the mount.

I did not even need my 3rd pet - the MMechanical Pandaren Dragonling pretty much mopped the floor!

Hope this helps and with a Safari Hat + Lesser Pet Treat Corg went from 10 to 15

For the Snowfeather Falcosaur quest with the Snowfeather + 2 undead, I used Frosty (2,2,2) and Scourged Whelpling (2,1,1). It was a close call, but I pulled it off. I know that Frosty is not very common, so Voodoo Figurine may work better.

It would be "stuck" in past tense; "sticked" is not a common usage. As written, though, it's correct, although maybe Xu-Fu fixed it since you commented.

In Turn 3 you have "Swap back to your" I think "Dragonling" is missing. Also, for the third enemy pet, Essence of Mana, Flux is also of concern as it does 160 damage to your backline pets.

If you have 2 mech pandaren dragonlings, you can use both and not really have to worry about the build in my experience, but i'm bringing a little higher of a level pet to remove some of the RNG from the explosions.
