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

[Remiem]

64189

Meet the new Mythic Pet, Scorch! This fierce dragon whelp will fight by your side and, if you keep him happy, will grant you the following bonuses: 15% Movement Speed, 12% Crit, +20 Primary Stat, 160 Mana and 8 Mana regen.

His passive ability, Mighty Chew, uses his mighty jaw to chomp down on multiple targets and has a chance to reduce movement by 30% and hit by 15%. And, his powerful Arcane Ability 'Dragon Scales' will grant a temporary shield to all nearby allies shielding them from damage, the range of which scales based on level.

Scorch is available for purchase TODAY in the stable!

[keikali]

Nice AA StS
I like how you decided to explore new area this time.

The AA is different from the usual stuff that was just kept recycled and restylized time after time.

+1 good job. :)

[Shanamerny]

Shield? Nice

[Morholt]

Only the range of dragon scales increases? Not the protection? Can you tell us what the protection is exactly? 50% damage reduction? Invincibility?


Also, that passive ability...is that Guapo? lol

[Giuewek]

Wow nice arcane

[MoloToha]

Don't you think that 2-3 Scorches in the party provide endless shield?

[Haligali]

Nice, rip glacian.

I wanna know, is this a pattern of the future? Next mythic pet=samael? If so, i save my gold and dont spend on a pet which could be bought for 250 plat.

[Cero]

Lol,

Now anyone can be rambo:)

@hali, they said theyll gonna buff arcane pets but yeah if this shield is like a warrior's or sorc's
It is a game changer.

[falmear]

I think we need to wait and see the specifics of the shield. Kind of like rogue's shield on mythic daggers. The arcane makes it an intriguing support pet.

[chayou]

not good in color XD

Falmear, refer to this for damage absorption:

64194

So at around level 41 we can probably expect roughly 1800 or so damage absorbed before it disappears.

[Castellann]

Nice pet.

If they make a MYTHIC pet that is better than samael. Expect a riot. Especially for the people who farmed hard for the money for sam.
Honestly STS might try to profit after every tiny thing but I don't think they'd do that. that'd be beyond silly

scorchs colour kindof bugs me so im not gonna pick him up. I'd love to know the Damage reduction on his shield though when hes capped.

edit: dev's can you confirm whether this stacks with mages shield/mythic daggers shield proc?

[falmear]

Yes but mage shield is only 30% or 45% damage reduction. So the real question is how much damage reduction does it do? 100% or something less.

[officiallyjun]

nice mythic pet so far ? that shield seems good..

[mitno]

Falmear, refer to this for damage absorption:

so basically, 3-4 scorches in a party make it invincible? (or 1 scorch that is being spamed)

I dont think same pet abilities stacks. Only samaels passive stacks.

I dont think same pet abilities stacks. Only samaels passive stacks.

Yes but you can alternate shields like warriors do with horn. We will see how the shield actually works but there is some potential for abusing this.

[keikali]

I dont think same pet abilities stacks. Only samaels passive stacks.

I think he means everyone using it one after another to twist it effectively. Then again the CD is pretty long.

Also people probably will start abusing the resummoning of a pet to abuse the AA.

How is this not good for mages? Last I heard crit was a good thing in smurfland (although like everyone else damage is better) and you can use this shield while your skill one is in cooldown, making you a supersmurf. Really, I think some people just complain for the sake of complaining.

[Sceazikua]

So that means the green dragon will be a legendary pet? CHEERS!!!!
On paper the thing may look OP, but not on reality. Look at Singe! See how much people were willng to pay for it at first, and now its like 30m and maybe will go down in the future because it cant be a "new" pet forever :tongue: I dont think the passive is so good, and happiness is decent because who would need 160 mana and 8 mana regen? Only crit and 20 primary stat is good. And, I like how STS make something new, not just another "stun and smash" pet.
If you say 1k5 absorb shield is OP, Dont you think even with the short 5s stunned you can deal much more damage? a crit aimed is now 3k, it might reach 4k in lvl 41.

[Serancha]

I thought the devs were fixing the re-summon issue, which makes makes any pet op, not just this one.

That is what needs fixing, the pet is fine.

[keikali]

Yes but mage shield is only 30% or 45% damage reduction. So the real question is how much damage reduction does it do? 100% or something less.

Falmear, heres your answer and some more clarification on the skill itself:

64207

64208

64209

It absorbs exactly 100% according to what Ami said. And also twisting the AA is totally out of the question even if you try to resummon the pet since you have a buff on your character that shows you recently received a Scorch AA buff which prevents you from getting it again. Smart move by STS to avoid the abuse of this AA.

[Serancha]

Excellent. So question. Is the damage absorbed calculated per person, or is the 1800 damage absorbed combined between all the shields created by the AA?

[keikali]

Per person. It would be totally useless if say 1800 damage was divided amongst the whole party.

[Serancha]

Never hurts to check these things before spending.

You cannot spam this pet's AA. For the 12 seconds after activating it once, any re-activations are canceled.

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.

I have a mage with over 15K ap, thank you very much. I am not just a rogue you can tell to shut up because you have a chip on your shoulder. My post was valid.

[Sorcheh]

It doesn't absorb 100% after a few hits the shield goes away b4 the 13 secs. Why is it even a shield if it isn't gonna protect me the entire 13. I think it needs to protect u completely. Maybe not in PvP but definitely pve

I think the reason singe price has gone down (and any other high priced item for that matter) is because the people willing to pay those absurd prices already have it. Now the second/third tier of players will pay significantly less.

[Sorcheh]

Its not very effective at lvl 10. At all. It helps for maybe 3-5 secs then goes away. I find this goes against the whole arcane ability of a shield.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

[falmear]

At end game, I think the class that benefits the most are warriors. Any damage reduction they get adds already to their near immortality. Even though the amount of damage absorbed is capped, any damage is calculated after damage is reduced by armor. We will see but there are some obvious ways to abuse this pet. And I am not talking about pet spamming.

[Rare]

Per person. It would be totally useless if say 1800 damage was divided amongst the whole party.

You mean like +8 regen? :p

[Sorcheh]

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.

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.

[ElfDreamer]

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

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

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 @_@

[cyrusrevange]

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

[falmear]

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.

[jassisor]

Yay!

Never said its not a good put for mages but this pet is most ideally for rogues with the mana boost n crit. Shield is definitely a plus point for all classes.

If it does have both forms of reduction, I'll consider it on my mage for running elite dragon enclave maps to support my group/keep them healthy.

I like the attempt at something new with pets. The arcane ability certainly seems to do a good job of it. However, the passive is pretty much Guapo's (lol, and isn't the reason mythic pets have the same damage/crit of legendary pets is because the passive and arcane are supposed to be tons better? Not to forget that Haze has a better happiness...).

Currently, the only mythic worthy aspect of this pet is the arcane ability. :/

The happiness bonus and arcane ability is better than Glacian for a Mage (at least from my pov).

[Kakashis]

I think this pet has a lot of potential. I don't get the 3-5 sec for level 10 though. When mine was level 1,it still lasted around 8sec

[Zylx]

What is the damage reduction offered by the shield? And is the egg available from locked crates or from other means?

[n19one]

Potential for rogue esp... High crit ok but mana regen & mana boost?? Really? Low base stats, no damage buff, no health / armor / damage reduce buff =(

I have suggestions. Why dnt sts change 160 mana to :

1) +10 INT (Instead of 160 Mana, 1 INT give 10 mana too right?)
or
2) 10% damage


at least his happiness still can be compared to Haze or Slag or Ethyl. That's would be more balance for all class.. This is mythic pet right? Or i am wrong? Actually i hav waited this mythic Dragon whelp so long time and that mana regen n boost happiness make me down. I would appreciate it so much remi thx =) love all sts job

Only way i see a Scorch egg happening is if they put them inside locked crates as part of an event. MANY, MANY, MANY months from now at that.

The Grimm fiasco was a unfortunate to say the least. Sorry you can't buy it with gold. just wait.

[sazib]

Nice pet :) liked it :) good job devs :)

[Energizeric]

I don't have a problem with a limited release in locked crates like they did with ripmaw/slag/abbadon eggs last month, but I do NOT want to see what we saw with grimm eggs. There are still tons of them showing up for sale in the auction, and it has completely devalued how much a mythic pet should be worth.

Yes, gotta keep crate poppers happy! Although I wouldn't mind being able to buy this pet for all my toons at 650-700k an omelet Crack :) Abaddon the cheapest egg version is now worth just as much as the other 2! If anything STS should stop making mythic pets from coming back time to time to increase older mythic pets value. Kind of like how glacian and hammerjaw should stop dropping when they already have been completely outclassed by old Sam and Singe. I don't want a super Nintendo when I could have gotten a ps4!

Very true. I find it strange that they make the elite legendary gear discontinued, but not the mythic and arcane stuff. Actually the elite legendary gear is not discontinued completely, but scaled to a higher level. So technically it gets discontinued in its original level. But the mythic and arcane keeps dropping. I understand why the mythic helm & armor keep dropping because there is an associated achievement with those. But the mythic ring, amulets, hooks and maul, as well as hammerjaw and glacian should all be discontinued. Otherwise more and more will keep appearing on the market, and the price will keep dropping lower and lower.

Either that or only let those items drop to lower level toons that open crates, and have end game toons opening crates get the newer higher level items.

Yeah scorch good at run.. But after no shield i feel like my defense is at highest risk and the cooldown too long 25 sec...

not a good pet for me.. Abbadon and slag still better as choice for damage and defense balance pet. Mana regen and lack

Of base stats is awful imo

U feel squishy in pve??? Try Orion then give me ur opinion after that... Orion is better and far cheaper!!
Scorch is not worthed 250 plats

[CanceriaN]

I always run km3 either alone or with a party using scorch. It shield is very effective against harley's overpowered one time hit lol. Although sometimes after it absorb the damage it will be gone for good and wait for scorch to cd to make another arcane shield. Well maybe that's the nature of his arcane shield. it will wait for about 12 secs (based on my observation) for any incoming damage before its gone. great pet though. but incomparable with slag's panic ability haha

So true. I managed to defeat elite astral heart alone using slag without dying. slag's panic ability bought me enough time to deal more damage on to it. but with scorch i always ended up dying after the shield is gone.. really i'm done for good lol. But I still love scorch though :/

[Elf]

Hm.....

[ruizerwin]

Really need to get it

[Hectororius]

Was thinking of a way to improve Scorch in PvE without making him too OP in PvP (he seems balanced there). If they added a 10% dodge buff to his happiness bonus and maybe even to his arcane, he would then be a much better pet in PvE without affecting play in the PvP arena.

Otherwise, I dont think scorch is going to see prime play in PvE maps anytime soon. I know guildies use him in Arena where the shield buys them that extra important hit, but when running elites with my guildmates (as a tank), I would frequently hold aggro enough that their shields would expire before they used up the damage reduction. If they were eating damage, the most they would take is about 3 hits.

Adding a Dodge buff to the happiness bonus would at least keep the pet relevant while the arcane in in Cool Down.

my 2 cents

Also remember this means that abaddon will be going away as plat buy so if you want for an alt or something... better get abaddon while he's still available.

Was thinking of a way to improve Scorch in PvE without making him too OP in PvP (he seems balanced there). If they added a 10% dodge buff to his happiness bonus and maybe even to his arcane, he would then be a much better pet in PvE without affecting play in the PvP arena.

Otherwise, I dont think scorch is going to see prime play in PvE maps anytime soon. I know guildies use him in Arena where the shield buys them that extra important hit, but when running elites with my guildmates (as a tank), I would frequently hold aggro enough that their shields would expire before they used up the damage reduction. If they were eating damage, the most they would take is about 3 hits.

Adding a Dodge buff to the happiness bonus would at least keep the pet relevant while the arcane in in Cool Down.

my 2 cents
This is a pretty d@ng good idea! A little sumptin' to make using scorchy for more than waiting for his shield all the time.
