Meet the New Mythic Pet: Scorch! Now Available in the Stable.

The only problem with this being op is if everyone in PvP has a scorch. And they use it right after the first player uses theirs. So technically you could be invulnerable for a unlimited amount of time.

It scales to pet level, man. ofc it's not going to be amazing at lvl 10, get it to lvl 35 and then see how you like it.

**Sorcheh** · 02-21-2014, 04:53 PM

I figured as much. And I won't be so quick to judge him till I get him to that lvl.

Also, you can't twist this AA, it has a 15 sec debuff after you use it before you can use it again and that applies to desummoning as well, so no need to worry about spamming.

Make the pet 250 platinum and can purchase through the egg like grimm.
A good suggestion

Oh that's good then.

This is a rogue pet. A total of 1765 damage will be absorbable at 41. Damage reduction is around 30-35%, assuming it's not affected by level.

Don't say hilarious things like strategies with this and sorcerers, a level 35 rogue can crit an Aimed Shot >= 1800 fairly often. But hey, at least you'll die with 80% mana left.

Where is the confirmation that this pet's shield has % damage reduction as well as interger damage reduction.

The reason the mage's shield is so useful is because it does both reductions. Having a simple 1,700 reduction means you can stand in a group of lvl 41 elite enemies for...2 seconds as a mage? 3 for a warrior?
Slag's panic on a group buys you more time, as well as the ability to put space between you and mobs.

So yea, really would like to see that there is an actual damage reduction by percentage as well (I may have missed a post somewhere). As nifty as that may be, I'm still unsure if I'd like him on a mage...the passive and happiness bonus are just horrid.

Time to shining a new mythic pet ^^
his arcane shield so amazing!! @@
But its fair, like slag.

**Instanthumor** · 02-21-2014, 05:16 PM

This could be cool. With the damage reduction bonus, I could use 4 offensive skills, including Timeshift, for WT4.

Hmm.. this had me thinking. You may have a point there.

I don't see any data or suggestions to support your "valid" post. I provided evidence and real figures, you provided.. a taste of an offended rogue. You don't have to point out how open-minded you are --considering strategies for sorcerer-- when the majority's leaning towards rightfully labeling Scortch as a new rogue pet.

No confirmation, the numbers are from field tests directly comparing arcane shield with Scortch's AA.

I'm fairly certain the mechanism behind them is the same. So both 1765 integer damage and 30-35% damage reduction.

Too bad there is no stun @_@

Scorch Leveling Diary, Day (Level) 17:

Baby Scorch broke his first barrel in the tombs. It was an exciting moment. We had cake.

PS Madnex: Please stop trolling.

**CanceriaN** · 02-21-2014, 07:47 PM

One question.. for how many days will it be available in the stable? I can only purchase it tomorrow (hopefully) :/

**Crixalis** · 02-21-2014, 07:48 PM

Cool

It will probably be here for a few months or as long as this expansion lasts I think.

**cyrusrevange** · 02-21-2014, 07:54 PM

thats a good pet,i love pets with mana and health regen

**falmear** · 02-21-2014, 07:56 PM

Someone should test whether the damage reduction overlaps with mage shield or other damage reduction buffs. The reason I say this is because it can change how you use the arcane ability. When someone did its arcane in town the icon I saw show up on my avatar was different then the icon that shows up with shield or other damage reduction buffs. The actual icon was the same skill icon I see for arcane shield on my skills map. The reason I say this is because arcane shield with upgrades is 45% damage reduction, so if you add this on top of shield you potentially could reduce damage even more. If one overrides the other then you need to chain them. There are obvious strategies as to where you may want to use both at the same time vs one after another. The base stats on this pet are not to my liking so the only thing attractive possibly is how its arcane ability functions so I'll wait for more feedback before purchasing.
