Very nicely designed pet - the best so far!

Arcane Ability cooldown: 30 seconds

L10 Passive: Scyth Slash - Damages a target and has chance to reduce dodge by 10%, and chance to hit by 5%

This as far as I've gotten with him.

Question to devs: How come reduce dodge by 10% is replaced? Seems like it would be better than -10 dex, str, int, no?

why mythic pets have the same attack and critical value than legendary pets at 36lv?

To keep them from being overpowered. Most of the difference comes in from their passive and arcane ability.

Please elaborate on

"low chance to kill"
"kill does not apply in pvp"

low chance to kill? doesnt hit hard? more of a stunner / weakener pet?

It means that the "instant kill" doesn't work in pvp or on bosses

As for "low chance" I'd imagine it be the same or less then granite, flapjack etc passive stun abilty

There is always going to be a pet, weapon, or gear that outclasses it's predecessor in one way or another. That's just the way MMORPGs evolve. Who knows, Winter Fest might have another pet that people will enjoy more than Grimm - but we already know it will be 90 plat if legendary or 250 plat if mythic. So plan accordingly and make your best decision if plat is limited for you.

I know that, but here is the fact. Both have 250 plat price, exact stat, but grimm arcane ability overpowered slag. I mean why they have to make the stat exact like slag and not make it a bit different ? People who bought grim will not buy slag, with an exception he have tons of plat

I understand where you're coming from, and I agree to a certain extent. I think pet developing is one of the tougher tasks for developers, because they have the arduous task of considering how the new pet will effect every aspect of the game. STS seems to be trying their best in terms of creativity and differences among pet stats ever since Shuyal's pets were introduced. For example, Grimm is the first pet with a passive that negates core stats (str, dex, int) which I think is pretty neat. He is very similar to Slag, though, I agree. I own both pets on my sorcerer, so I am right there with you in terms of wanting a Slag refund, Jetzzz. Its just a hard pill to swallow.

Slag may still better than Grimm in some cases.
Slag has panic / terror while Grimm has stun.

Many expansion bosses rarely ever stun (outside of George and Kelvin)

In pvp, stun has a 7 second immunity after each stun. Afterwards is usually just a slight stagger. Terror / panic seems to last forever some days and is much better for pvp.

My question regarding the Core stats Debuff, does this apply in PvP as well? and how does it apply vs. enemies in the game? I never thought of mobs and bosses as having STR DEX INT values like toons, but i guess it makes sense.

As for buying the "older" mythic pets vs newly released ones, While the timing of your purchase may have sucked, you still bought a tried and tested limited time offer pet and have enjoyed it since the time you purchased it. its been a few weeks since the last time slag went on sale, and i'm sure you've enjoyed your pet this whole time :)

Its like buying last years Latest and greatest phone on sale (I think slag was on sale last time too), when there's a good chance a newer model is right around the corner.

TL;DR - Dont have buyers remorse! Enjoy what you got!

keikali

Grimm's stun is different from Slag's stun.

Panic/Terror work different then regular stuns and is better. IMO Slag is better for PvP based on the type of stun he generates. Just like Clyde's stun.

Its about providing feedback. When slaag was about to be introduced for the first time, he was a high dex pet for example. They changed that. The stat reduction passive attack seems useless in elite pve.

His passive at level 10 has -10% dodge, -5% hit. I agree with you, as I would much rather have the -10% dodge than -10 dex, int, str.

Fidalex

Completely agree, having -10 str dex int is useless in pve unless devs state mobs have str int dex stats. If they don't have pls change it.

Devs might want to check on the stun on Grimm. It hasn't seemed to be happening very much at all through the process of leveling him to 35/36. And in pvp when it does happen, it lasts a fraction of a second.

Have just got him to elite level so more feedback to come once he gets tested more extensively. Just love the animations on him. So fun.

Considering his overly strong passive attack & banish-like ability, I think that this makes up for it. If they added a terrify/panic option like Slag/Samael, what would be the purpose of those two pets?

IMO, they managed to make a niche where this pet would see potential use perhaps as a cooldown to Slag/Samael.

Serancha
10-20-2013, 03:10 AM
I think you mistook my intent. I wasn't asking for the pet to be made more powerful, I was asking the devs to check if the stun in the arcane ability is working as it is supposed to.

The reason I ask is that the pet advertises a "high chance to stun", yet running for an hour with 3 grimms together in km3, I did not see any of the 3 bosses stunned a single time. Over 50% of the time when I use the arcane ability, no mobs get stunned, and when the stun happens it is often only one mob (and yes, I gather a group of them tidily in my traps before setting off the ability, for best effect). I was not able to make Grimm stun any elite bosses I tested on in several arena runs either. This just seems a bit unusual for a pet that is supposed to have a high chance of stun.

Tested in: Kraken Mines, Elite Oltgar, Ashral Tower normal, Arena.

Part of what I am wondering is if, when they made the kill not work on bosses, the stun was accidentally included as well. It would not be unheard of for such a thing to happen.

Again, I am loving this pet, so this is not a complaint or attempt to get the pet buffed, just a curiosity and observations from use that might be helpful to the developers.

I tested Grimm's Arcane Ability against 50 mobs (lured individualy) in elite maps. These are my conclusion :

Population : 50 elite mobs
N* stunned : 27 (54%)
N* killed : 3 (6%)

Stun time : =<2 sec

Conclusions:
Grimm is a really cool pet with good animation but it doesn't worth to be bought if u need a stun pet. Its % of stun is good but it's useless due its short duration (2 sec but it can be less if grimm lands a second attack on the mob, in that case the enemy recovers immediately after 0.5-1 sec).

I hope my test can be of any help.

Makes a lot of sense! Wonder if it was meant to be like this or a bug! 5~6% to instant kill makes this pet worth the plat especially in elite! Almost puts Sam to shame.

My tests were solo on rogue, so with no aoe stun, and the rate of stun was extremely low and duration made it more a stumble than a stun. But I can see this being an additional issue.

Haven't had much chance to test Grimm at 30+ yet, but his upgraded passive attack seems awesome on paper.

The arcane however, leaves a lot to be desired. The range seems really tiny. This is a Mythic pet for 250 plat! Why does he not have the same wide range as Slag?

I can't comment on the stun however. My Grimm barely hit 30 last night so I think I've seen maybe three or so 1-second stuns so far. Terrible stun duration for a Mythic pet. And if he doesn't stun bosses, then what's the point?

I'm really crossing my fingers that Grimm's arcane deficiencies are addressed in tomorrow's update.

Do we know if you can get a refund on platinum purchased pets? Because I am not satisfied with the stun. I already own Samael but I always like to own pets which can stun or panic. And the stun seems almost non-existent. For 250 plat it should stun more often and I realize stun and panic are not the same thing. But if this thing can't stun a boss its pretty much useless to me even with all of the other attributes. So can I email support and ask for a refund?

Exactly! People are asking too much for a SPECIAL EVENT pet which should have just gotten vanity stats like the Christmas one. But since it was Mythic, they had to justify the 250 Plat.

There are (2) types of stuns. This apparently doesn't work on bosses. The one that Slag and Clyde have are Panic/Terror stuns which do work on certain bosses.

Technically if it stuns some mobs and not some others then it is working as intended for a REGULAR STUN attack. Again, no fixed needed.

I really don't understand why there being grimm eggs is such a big deal... first off lemme say I'm a plat buyer and user. I have all mythic pets except ripmaw just cuz I missed it and kinda didn't wanna b uy it at the time... slag is by far my favorite. Anyways back to the point. I bought grimm mostly for his looks and possibly him not to return for a year. His stun was kinda disappointing but is much better now... his banish is amazing on a non arcane pet. So I was very happy with my purchase. I was expecting a vanity pet and I got much more. I knew what I was getting into. His stats weren't posted on the forums as quickly as most mythic pets were so I can understand some disappointment. Kinda wish there was a way to see arcane and passive attacks without purchasing a pet.

When I saw eggs were being sold I was excited. I saw this as a money making opportunity, as did many other people. What I don't understand is the comments of why non plat spenders shouldn't b able to get a mythic pet. Many people have argued that al is becoming a pay to win game... isn't this a way to move aeay from that? People complain that now people ar getting the mythic ap and banner, and honestly I don't see the big deal. Why shouldn't they be able to get this achievment? Maybe there is something I am missing, and I hate to say it, but maybe some people are just being a bit selfish. I've spent a lot of plat and every time I did so I knew I was taking a risk.. me spending plat doesn't make me think that I should b stronger than anyone else or that I should have access to exclusive plat only items, such as pets. I see it as taking the lazy way of hetting the items that I want/need due to the fact that I'm very busy (work at us army) and honestly I hate spending what little time I do get to play on farming.

So basically if I'm missing something please fill me in, but I think we should at least attempt to be happy for the die hard farmers that have gotten through the game without spending any plat. They are finally able to obtain a mythic pet that has never been obtainable without plat.

Anyways thank u stg for providong this awesome game and thank u to the community that I have griwn to love.

Sorry if my ideas are a bit random or jumbled... I'm currently on a 24 hr shift and a bit dilusional at the moment...

I don't think the drama was about being selfish and not allowing non-plat players to get mythic pets. It was more about having spending 250 plat, which is about $30 USD real money mind you, on something that became available via in-game currency only a week later.

Thankfully, STS allowed those who paid through the stable to refund Grimm if they chose to. If given the choice, I would much rather spend 800-900k gold versus 250 plat for a pet.

I really don't understand why there being grimm eggs is such a big deal... first off lemme say I'm a plat buyer and user. I have all mythic pets except ripmaw just cuz I missed it and kinda didn't wanna b uy it at the time... slag is by far my favorite. Anyways back to the point. I bought grimm mostly for his looks and possibly him not to return for a year. His stun was kinda disappointing but is much better now... his banish is amazing on a non arcane pet. So I was very happy with my purchase. I was expecting a vanity pet and I got much more. I knew what I was getting into. His stats weren't posted on the forums as quickly as most mythic pets were so I can understand some disappointment. Kinda wish there was a way to see arcane and passive attacks without purchasing a pet.

When I saw eggs were being sold I was excited. I saw this as a money making opportunity, as did many other people. What I don't understand is the comments of why non plat spenders shouldn't b able to get a mythic pet. Many people have argued that al is becoming a pay to win game... isn't this a way to move aeay from that?

What Yakiniku said.

I've also spent plat on this game, not a big spender or buyer, and here in lies the situation. When Grimm was released via the stable, it was safe to assume that he was going to remain plat exclusive based on prior mythic pets being plat exclusive, and statements by STS Devs saying Mythic pets would be plat only, and Arcane pets would be crate exclusive. I was fortunate enough to have enough plat to purchase Grimm, and would most likely be my only big plat purchase. I was saving my plat for this specific purpose, to own a mythic pet (a baby Sameal at that!).

One week later, A Mythic pet becomes available in tradeable form, so now i'm out 250 plat, and I can't take advantage of the Mythic egg sale frenzy that ensues, nor will I be able to buy another "Plat Exclusive" pet in the future.

Going forward, STS has said (dont quote me) that they will not be doing a staggered release of stable/egg, but instead will offer them at the same time. This is a good thing for everyone, but the way Grimm was handled was not good for everyone.

I look forward to the next mythic pet. Who will hopefully be available in both egg/stable form (at the same time).

the thing is, sts made it clear way before that mythic pets will stay plat exclusive. not all are rich players so i spend my plat wisely. i bought grimm right away knowing what sts said before

when eggs of them came out, naturally i was disappointed. i will never buy them through plats if they can be bought with gold. i got my plats refunded and bought one using my gold. i didnt expect it to happen but i am happy i got my plats back.

i should have emailed them back then regarding lep amulet cuz i didnt know it was tradeable
