Family Brawler

Well, that was easy. This was actually from a few days ago. In the end I got FIVE concessions in a row and so got the No Time To Heal achievement at the same time. Easiest family of pets to win ten of, by far, was Undead - I used the composition suggested on Wowhead and it worked very well - 10 wins in 11 matches. The comp was: Blightbreath: Breath - Gas - Rain Scourged Whelpling: Sweep - Darkness - Breath Widget the Departed: Pounce - Spectral - Darkness Just AOE down the whole team the use the very fast Widget to kill off each one before they get a turn. Astute readers will also not the presence of the Murkalot Feat of Strength that grants a pet. Yeah, I bought that one for (quite a lot of) real money. Please don't judge me. It's the only pet with the Righteous Inspiration ability and the combination of that with a Bombling works fantastically well. I have to win 1000 PVP battles with a team of 25 and that seems a lot simpler with a good team. It's definitely not ...

Magical Brawler - finally

The Family Brawler PVP Pet achievements can be fairly easy (mechanical and beast) or damn near impossible. I was on the latter. Getting ten wins with a set of magical pets took me easily seventy matches and the last one seemed to be a pity flee after I renamed my team "Please concede. Need achieve. Many thanks." I have a feeling that these achievements were much simpler to get before the PVP pet balancing/ matchmaking was put in place. Still, I'm getting along well with a variety of other things. I'm using All The Things to display uncompleted achievements in each area and it continues to be a truly fantastic addon. Achievement hunting is often so much about grinding that it's easy to forget how much fun the game still is. I want to complete all of the achievements in WoW because I want to experience the entire game and achievements are an excellent guide to the parts I've yet to explore. Finding hidden storylines and cool toys, new pets and mounts and ob...

PVP Pet Battles

Slow going with PVP pet battles right now. I'm grinding through all of the Family Brawler achievements in order to get the meta. This is much more difficult than it used to be because of the new matchmaking system where similarly-experienced players tend to get matched against each other more frequently than before. I'm only winning one in every 3-4 battles right now with my Magic-type team and it's pretty frustrating, especially because I usually get matched up against the same opponents repeatedly. Assuming I get all of these finished this week, I still need to win another 300 battles with a level 25 team for the 1000 match wins achievement. I'll post when I find a comp that I particularly like for that one. Once those are done, I then need to continue work on the other "Family" achievements for the various trainers, then, to round things out, I'll need to get a couple more celestial tournament pets, finish Deadmines and then grind roughly 4000 PVE ...
