Arcane Legends - New Premium Pet - Ripmaw!

[Matutd]

They can't win. If STS boosts the stats, then everyone will complain that the best pet can be bought for plat. LOL

They could make buying the pet grant an egg, rather than the pet itself. That way they can be bought with plat and gold. Everyone will have a chance at getting one then.

That wouldn't work, the market would be flooded with Ripmaws until the price fell below the plat cost. If a Ripmaw sold for 1 million gold, but cost 250 plat, everyone with a credit card would jump on the bandwagon until the market was so flooded with the eggs that the price would plummet just so sellers could recover something.

I bet it the egg will be made a world drop with the expansion. That would ensure its gold value stayed high, plat players could get it, and people who don't pay to play have a chance.

I like the pet so far. The happiness bonus is awesome. The arcane ability is not very exciting to me compared to other pets, but it fits the theme of the pet. The passive attack seems pretty good.

One thing I noticed is that the pet attacks REALLY slow compared to other pets. Because of this, I do think his damage needs to be bumped up a bit. Either that, or get his attack rate up to par with other pets. Being of mythic quality and having a price tag of 250 plat, this thing should not be doing significantly LESS dps than any other pet.

this seems like something to go in PL that woulda come out during humania

Seems to be hitting harder, don't know what was up last night but its single target damage is on par with Shiloh. The arcane ability has a 2 second delay it seems, but does a knock down with damage.

Still think the +15 str is kinda useless as a stat bonus. A str bonus makes it better for a warrior, but a 15% damage mod would make it the best pet for every class, and because it is a % instead of a stat, would be viable in the long haul for a mythic pet. Shouldn't something mythic be something players aspire to possess? If the pet was arguably the best for every class, a world drop and a plat purchase item it would really be a home run for something "mythic".

I do like the str as a rouge. Just keeps me alive a bit longer without using pots.

he must be divorced.

Ya think? LOL

Nice, but way too expensive. I wish that they would also allow you to buy him with gold instead so everyone could get him.

[chitgoks]

i thought malison's plat count was a bit high. ripmaw's is overkill lol

[Ladycandyheal]

Nevermind

Ripmaw is a new Premium Pet, now available in the Stable.

Was the Shark based off of Saints Row's shark gun? Reminded me a lot of it.

i hope sts wont make this pet available in next expansion plus wont be lootable!!

The way I see it is an extra expensive Plat "Vanity" to have. The one's with the funds can buy it, but shouldn't be OP in the least.

That way it never becomes a necessity.

Yeah, Bod! You are looking right at the essence! Its more a vanity than battle-breaker

Compared to FlapJack its nothing special battle-wise

Especially when RipMaw seems bugged as it does not stun yo enemies on arcane attack hundred percent times.. And Flap does this even on bosses

UPD
Shark does stun, but for a very, no, really - very tiny time.. And does not affect even minor bosses

doesnt seems to state it in screenshots at post 10 and post 12...

Malison is 90 plat and comes with better stats than some other pets. Ripmaw is "mythic" and should in some way reflect that in his stats. He doesn't have to be OP but 15 STR? It does seem he's more of a "vanity" which is a shame

[Feke]

The shark can swim in the ground.. Amazing....
-___-

If the shark would give something like +50% chance to reroll for better loot rather than that +14 STR, it would worth something.. But now.. Sorry, it won't be my companion.
The only things to spend my Plats are still the vanities, inventory and character slots.

Predicting the future.. Almost.

How accurate was this prediction of this past weekends event? How did it play out in your eyes?

And... Do you think this post (or others like it) influenced how SpaceTime went about making Ripmaw available not only in the stable, but also in egg format?
