Ripmaw Replaced by Slag the Fire Elemental on Thursday - Comparison Shopping

[Samhayne]

In an update coming on Thrusday, March 28th, Ripmaw will be replaced in the Stable with Slag the Fire Elemental. If you're thinking about which pet might be better for your playstyle, here are the stats for each pet at level 1 and level 26.

In general, Ripmaw is a more "Tanky" pet, with STR and damage mitigation. Slag the Fire Elemental is more of a damage pet with big DEX + DMG.

Ripmaw lvl 1


Ripmaw lvl 26




Slag the Fire Elemental lvl 1


Slag the Fire Elemental lvl 26



Both pets are Mythic rarity and cost 250 Platinum. If you want Ripmaw, get him now! If you want Slag, look for him in the Stable after Thursday's update.

Slag has nice stats at lvl26 good job. He looks good too. Wish he was an Arcane pet instead though. I mean we already had Ripmaw as a limited edition plat exclusive Mythic item... Now we have Mythics in crates with Arcanes yet none for a flat plat price. Any plans on releasing an Arcane pet for a flat plat price like these Mythics?

One of the Devs mentioned before that arcane rarity pets, at this point, are planned to be exclusive from crates. I'll have to find the post. I'm pretty sure it was in the nexus thread after it became lootable.

300 for arcane rarity..and you have me sold :3 since glacian is arcane type, why not make this new pet one too.

awesome

It's happiness bonus is SO much better than Ripmaw's.....

Not for a warrior

This is a great pet, perfect to alternate with McCraw for a rogue.

I'm glad SS is introducing more plat purchasable pets. The arcane items from crates are not worth it, such terrible odds for the cost of opening in plat + the cost to purchase crates.

[Kumikochan]

Agreed. Arcane items are not worth...atm. Its too much of the cost with both plats+ and crates. And they selling it at ridiculous price!

[Slashiroth]

OMFG I'm ganna buy the crap out of that pet



Edit- why does it have same arcane ability at lvl 1 as lvl 26?

More reason why this would be a perfect pet for them to release as an Arcane type sold for a flat price in the stable instead of a Mythic type!

Pet for a rogue... I think they are killing warrior... No mana vengeful , only best health stats compared to the rogue, low damage and dps...I like warrior but no the warrior stats

[Darko]

I love adding platinum pet but lwt me get this straight..rouges are already dominating pvp.. so lets give them a pet with 30+ dex, more mana so they have no mana issue, increase thwir damage, like they dont do enough damage, increase their speed, run around and blast everyone, passive reduces armor, cause their skills don't reduce it anyways., plus add additional..damage PLUS slow the speed so nobody can get awaywe are goibg to be like paper machaes to rouges.. mage has colton and clyde two +30 int, glad rouge has + 30 dex pet but dang, warriors + 30 str pet gives movement speed and arcane slows enemied (flag runner pet) we need a better +30 pet. U just gave them mccraw really??? Mages have two amazing ones, now rouges have one....warriors best pets can all be used by other classes. .. we sucj if we use ckyde or mccraw....rouges can use ribbit for crit or rip dor health and mana, or malison....only pats we have soley for us is koko...which sucks....cause extra armor does little against rouge..ill still bug this and try and dex up my warrior...but sts right now a rouge can duel spec, (increase health, like warrior, lose dps and damage, but keep emough that they still do most damage with added health...a warrior cannot do that, lower health for dage and dps....its impossible....they can get our strength, we csnnot get theirs

Hello?? Ripmaw is awesome. And I don't see a Mage or rogue using him

You would be surprised, but some rogues favors ripmaw and flapjack over all other pets in pvp. And mccraw.. is awful.

15dex, 10crit, 10 dodge 7 movement is awful? ?? :/

Statwise, its cool. Played with it a lot in pve and pvp - mali better everywhere. Ofc, depends on your build and playstyle, but try it yourself, you will see. I think 10% damage now is better than 10% crit unless you have no aimed shot, so wrath, kettle, flap and loki also better than mccraw.

Yes kind Sir, McCraw is trash. Not too long ago during to endless Tank rant era, Assassins were given a INT bonus (still don't understand) and Tanks received a whole computer page long revap. With the bonus Assassins changed their builds. With these builds that include ether going full INT or full DEX with a touch of Knowlegde passive McCraw brings almost every stat down except dodge and crit. This sarifice isnt favorable to most Pro Assassins I have ran with in elite dives. So, do like Assassins and Mages did when Tanks received all that attention...Say, hey...this update/addition/change isnt for my main toon, respec to survive and adapt to just another change in the game.


Edit: I do use my McCraw...on daily quests.

[Lady_Pebbles]

Actually, this pet would be awesome for a Mage as well. The stats for +30 DEX & +10 INT will give a nice boost in stats. Plus the dmg. Very nice!

Edit: Oh and speed! Maybe can evade in PvP a bit better now. Im considering buying it... Way better than RipMaw imo.
