    The Celestial pet fights are ridiculously imbalanced. Their damage mitigation and healing abilities go off their power, which is around 600 for all of them. Combined with them taking half damage innately (which I know is to counterbalance the issues that were trivialising other elite pets but still needs to be changed in some way) it means the healing and mitigation is having a double effect. You have pets effectively capable of healing 600 damage every turn with no cooldown (luckily the AI means it doesn't actually do that usually but it could). They have abilities that can one shot pets, and healing and mitigation you couldn't possibly out-damage.

    I think it's the 50% damage taken that really does it. I understand why they put that in - the 5.2 elites had such large health pools that percentage based abilities were overpowered - but this makes the pet overpowered instead. They should make it reduce damage taken by 50%, but also 50% healing and 50% mitigation. It'd be fair then.
    If someone told me the thing I'm about to tell you I'd get really pissed and feel quite insulted but truth is truth. After having completed it I no longer view it as hard. In fact I did it for less than 20 minutes today when the quest got reset. But here it is... If you can't beat it...whether it's because of the imbalance the damage reduction and big heals cause... then you shouldn't beat it. Who said everyone is supposed to beat it? If one can beat it then it is possible. If it is possible then it is balanced.

    @the guy who asked about the rewards. The rewards are: rare quality versions of all 4 celestial pets and a marked flawless battle-stone - each of these cost 3 celestial coins and some other pet supplies for 1 coin.

    You get 3 coins on your first completion of the tournament and you can completely it every week afterwards for 1 coin.

    Back to the quote. The rewards are quite worth the effort and just because the thing exists doesnt mean everyone should have it. I'm glad I could beat it on the PTR with all these pets I am given there for free but I am more than certain I wouldn't be able to beat it on live especially since there are barely any good pets that can be caught from the wilderness.

    You get 3 coins on initial completion so you can get your first pet on the first week. You'd need a total of 9 weeks to collect the remaining 3 though.

    EDIT: Very happy I was able to help :P


    I had a specific reasoning for creating this guide. I usually don't do things like this and avoid doing so but this time it was different. I searched the net inside out and couldn't find any helpful information. There were some tips here and there in the US's official forum thread but they werent really helpful. I needed help and there wasn't anyone to help me. Not even on wowhead which was my biggest hope. And so I decided to make this for the others that were or still are in the same situation I was in.

    I was going to ask in this thread if anyone had tried using this set up for the celestials, but I wasn't sure if they were a single pet fight or a team of 3.
    Hopefully this setup will work for them
    Not everyone have Unborn Val'kyr. Its hard to get it in some realms. BTW, in PTR if your pet uses Unholy Ascension it will die immediatly (will not proc its undead passive).

    That's not a bug. That's how it works. Hence why you activate it AFTER your Undead pet dies and its passivep procs.

    I found out that on the second week you are given another quest - to beat the boy next to the Celestial Tournament questgiver. It owns Lil' Oondasta which is one hell of a pet. It is also legendary boss and does one hell amount of damage. Later I will post here how to beat it!

    Stay tuned :P

    Agreed, its just sad to see so much of the allocated budget, in my mind, wasted on this.

    You people don't learn do you? What language need you be told this in order to understand it? Do you have the slightest idea how many people do pet battles as dedicatedly as some do raids? Do you have the slightest idea how many casuals love pet battles? You are the ones speaking nonsense. How ignorant do you need to be to say something is a waste when it is enjoyed by so many people? A waste is your comment here because people on this thread like pet battles and your comment only generates unneccesary hatred towards each other. Please, restrain from posting such nonsense in my thread because it's pointless.

    - - - Updated - - -

    As promised here comes how to beat Lil' Oondasta!


    It isn't going to be much of an explanation. More like an idea. Oondasta's big hitter does ~1300 damage, is instant and has 100% hit chance with around 3-4 turns cooldown. That same ability switches your active pet with your highest HP backrow pet. Build Turret combo would be even easier to achieve versus Lil' Oondasta because it's slow and right after you build the first turret with your first pet it swaps your pet with your second Turret builder and since your pet is faster you don't lose a turn. Would be good if one of your pets has Call Lightning. Lil' Oondasta has no heals and only relies on big damage which actually makes her weaker than the other Elite legendary pets.

    Is there some point to defeating this bonus pet? Do you get anything interesting quest/reward wise? Or is it required to complete the tournament the 2nd week? Just trying to work out what it's purpose is if it's not tied to collecting coins.

    Sorry. I was so excited to fight Lil' Oondasta that I actually forgot to check what it rewards. I don't remember any special rewards from it...

    http://ptr.wowhead.com/quest=33222 After checking this I remembered. Yeah it's just timeless coins.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I checked in-game earlier. Lil' Oondasta quest is daily and the reward is indeed 500 Timeless Coins. The pet itself is fairly easy to beat. Today I used the strategy I mentioned above in order to confirm and yes. It does work. My second Clockwork Gnome had over 1000 remaining HP. Tomorrow I will try with the Huting Party combo though I am beyond certain it will be succesful. If someone makes a high quality video of all the strategies I've posted in this thread I will add them to my original post and give credits.

    Please help me keep this thread alive in order to help as many people as possible!

    Requirement is to have 15x level 25 pets but it will take you way more than that. The rewards are the 4 pets and some pet battle supplies ( pet snack, bandages, flawless battle-stones ) but all of them except the 25x Pet Bandages cost 3x Celestial Coins and you only get 3 the first time. Afterwards you can complete the tournament once every week for 1 Celestial Coin. The tournament itself is like this: You have to beat 3 tamers each of which uses 3x legendary non-elite pets and then you have to beat 4x legendary elites ( just like the Beasts of Fable pets except with an Elite buff that doesn't allow attacks to exceed 35% of the pet's health. ) which are the 4 celestial pets. You cannot heal or revive your pets once inside hence why you will need a lot of pets.

    Apparently that third fight was first for me. It consists of Lorewalker Cho with his Ice Owl (Flying ), Broom ( Magic but has strong attack versus Dragonking ) and his Serpent Hatchling - Knowledge ( Dragonkin ) ( although one would expect it to be named Mishi >.> ) followed up by some undead guy with Screamer ( flying pterodax ), Chaos ( another magic pet with strong attack versus Dragonkin ) and Trike - his cute direhorn. The last of the 3 tamers is the dwarf from the alliance Jade Forest questline "Got something that needs fixin'?" love this quote of his. He uses Socks ( an undead mongoose ), Stormoen ( Fluxfire Feline - Mechanical <3 ) and Rikki ( aquatic - civet ).

    Very nice, it's gonna be a long time before I can manage this, only got about 12 pets at 25.

    I really wish they had made the celestial pets epic quality though, it would have made a lot of sense.

    To the people complaining about development time spent on pet battles, firstly it's a different team from the one that does your raids and what not. Secondly, just cause you don't enjoy it doesn't mean other people don't and it's wasted, get your heads out your asses.

    Wrong. It's a different team.

    Yet it is me who beats the Celestial Tournament. I don't see what kind of a loss this could be for me. Explain please.


    PS: Surely*
    PS2: Blizzard said exactly the opposite. But with their cleanup people won't have anywhere else to check ( if there is a need to in the first place ) except for fansites.

    I remember reading that Blizzard hired more people specifically for pet battles and similar.

    I took a poll on here recently and the vast, vast majority of people either loved pet battles or would play them if they were improved

    I did it on the second try as an Assassination Rogue ilvl 515, with Leeching poisons.

    Didn't have much problems, I did it on the second try because I didn't know this fight.
    It's challenging but not as hard as some people are talking.

    This isn't the Celestial Trial or w/e that legendary quest is named :P

    It's good to read past the first line, ya know.

    I'm looking forward to fight in the Celestial Tournament, it's like 4 new world bosses.

    You really need to learn to read man. I mean...just. Can you really read what this is about? Notice the word "pets" in there? "Pet Abilities". "Pet Team". Just read one of the 4 explanations. It's not that hard :/
