Trollskie's Comments

The questline for this pet was one of my favorite WoW experiences of all time, and the Oracle is a top-tier character model. I keep little Jaleet with me at all times as my companion pet.

 

 

But god almighty, does he suck at combat. Backflip is too slow to ever work, Dreadful Breath locks you in for 3 rounds, Sticky Goo is a weak root your opponent will not mind. Aged Yolk is mildly useful in PvP. You're left with a pet whose best abilities are two Slot 1 basic attacks.

 

 

5/5 Appearance, 1/5 Battle :(

Sagcat has it right - Biggles' current rating doesn't even make him top 20! That's crazy!

 

He has Pounce to take out Critters that would normally be most dangerous to his Undead type (and he's a natural S/S to get that extra damage). He has Ice Barrier for survivability or swaps. He has Ice Tomb for a stun every 5 rounds. And you can pop the Tomb while Barrier is up without blocking your own attack! OR, he has Frost Nova/Howling Blast for pure DPS!

 

 

Bigglesworth deserves better, people!

Mine is named Murray too, and if you get the reference you're rad.

 

 

I got Murray when Battle Pets first started, and to this day he is still one of my favorites. The Immortal/Bite combo was my first taste of pet strategy and it still tickles me to give 'em the ol' farewell chomp. An excellent staple/primer Undead pet.

One of my favorite pets to have following me around due to the pleasantly-voiced-Curator comments he occasionally emits. Battle-wise, however, he is a bit of a glass cannon - he packs a punch but will go down quickly as well. There are Mech pets with access to the same abilities and better stats (like the Yeti or the Tonk.)

Mini Mindslayer looks cool and is fun to play, but has a crippling deficiency that keeps him out of serious consideration. No matter which ability loadout you choose, MM will be cooldown-locked, meaning you will have to pass or sub every three turns with him. (Spamming Inner Vision is functionally the same as passing).

 

 

You could combo MM with another pet or two that have a free-substitution ability to make up for the lost actions, but what's the point? Sorry MM, Blizzard did you dirty.
