The passive for this new heroic is just disappointing

No Pet for Tokens? I don't like relying on luck.

Is heroic pet's passive a joke? Not comparable to Timur/Geng and also 'chance to...'
Cmon StS, really....

Well in exchange looks like the passive pushes enemies which is also quite good reset the enemy attack (at least on pvp), also we don't know yet what % chance it has to slow and reduce dmg nor the % the dmg gets reduced.

Lmao pet for rog and war were on available with tokens, why not mage? Btw what lvl does hauntlet count for?

The two heroic pets don't even had damage multiplier like geng or timur. Sad mage

Hauntlet scales to the player lvl so I guess it's whatever the player lvl is

Happy Year of the Ox!

It's time to ring in a (Lunar) New Year, and you know what that means. We're celebrating with new items, pets, and a good old dose of...making sure evil doesn't take over Arlor. This event runs for 2 weeks from 2/18 to 3/4 with a 3 day cooldown.

Backstory

The good people of Vardan Valley were all set to join the Lunar New Year festivities in Brackenridge when along came Kil'Joy the Goblin. Kil'Joy the Goblin, enemy of joy, a confirmed master of disguise, appeared to the villagers in the visage of a feeble old merchant driving an immense empty wagon. He drove is big rickety wagon to the center of town, interrupting the Mayor's 'Lunar New Year' address to the townsfolk (which is mostly about how to avoid injury on the long walk to Brackenridge).

Kil'Joy's illusory 'dying old man' begged the villagers to load their firecrackers and rat pets and red envelopes onto his wagon. He too was heading for Brackenridge to celebrate the new year. But he was alone. Lonely and unwanted. Without family. Without a purpose - this joyful celebration would surely be his last.

"Let me take part in your joy. Fill my wagon that I may help you on your journey. Please? Let my life have purpose... one last time," he groveled with tears welling up in his ancient eyes.

"Fine," said the Mayor. "That's just fine. You know it is a very long road and a whole lot to carry."

The smitty nodded sternly and bellowed, "Aye! Surely this good and wise old man isn't going to steal from us."

"Yes!" the tavern maid sung in agreement. "It's been nearly a full year since we've had even the slightest whiff of trouble. Let's do it!"

And so they did! The villagers of Vardan Valley loaded their wares upon the old man's wagon. Every egg, every envelope, every painted mask, every shining Arcanite vanity and shoved it aboard the old man's wagon. "See ya at the Tavern," the old man cackled as he drove off. "Happy New Year... suckers!"

It didn't take that long for the people of Vardan Valley to realize that they had been scammed. So they sent their Sheriff to track down Kil'Joy (and get help from Arlorian heroes if necessary).

Getting Started

Talk to Sheriff Qian in Windmoore to learn more about the event. You'll be hunting Kil'Joy the Goblin to collect Red Envelopes that you can trade for this year's special items. Qian also has a daily quest that allows you to collect 10 Red Envelopes toward rewards.

You'll need a Kil'joy Hunters' Elixir active to spawn the greedy goblin, so make sure to stock up before you head out on your search! Sherrif Qian will sell them to you from his shop.

Once you're out in the world, keep an eye out of an unusual enemy about. Slay Kil'joy and collect his goodies before he disappears!

Enjoy the event! We can't wait to see the Arlorian skies lit up with festive fire!

Can put heroic pet in vendor (like it's always been for lunar events) and increase the size for warriors shield?, how's that small plate supposed to protect our big body? :/

[Redjellydonut]

Yinshe pet has pretty good stats aura is also different!

Pushes? Im a mage....its a mage pet...i dont need push, i stun enemies. If i want to push, i can use arcane shield upgrade.
Chance to slow and reduce dmg? Timur attacks 4 targets reducing their armor by 20% (always) and 80% bleeding. Geng attacks 4 targets, reducing armor by 15% (always) and 60% bleeding. This pet, after 2 years waiting, attacks SINGLE target with CHANCE to slow and debuff damage.
Like i said, its a joke of passive if you compare it vs Timur/Geng. Not to mention that isn't even available at vendor

You forgot to mention that geng gives %damage, and this pet doesnt...

"Higher level encounters will result in better drops."

[Alghost]

Yo yo yo, relax with those pet stats 105INT??? 25% armor? Woa.

[Redjellydonut]

Will Spirit gears be a thing for expansion? Because those mythic rings are kind of useless at the moment since no one uses spirit.
