That dragon is a really lightheaded fellow. I don't think he ever stands still for just a second. Not even for a screenshot!

AoE strat. 1st pet any +325 speed + pet change skill - i use Enchanted Broom + Sweep. Then 2nd your pet - any AoE pet with heal - Pandaren Fire Spirit - 2-2-1 AoE with 1st skill, heal with last one. Once you can use your low level pet. Long time start. But it is easy one without problems

Use Teroclaw hatchling instead of clockwork gnome.

Even though alpha strike is "weak" against dragonkin. with black claw and the Lightning storm. just 2 alpha strikes without any rng will kill stormlash. And you only recieve 1 weak dragonkin buffed roar which does litterly no damage at all. Then your hatchling will just wreck Whiskers. And you can predict when he cast survival and you then switch to your level 1 carry pet and back to your hathcling ;)

Confirming this. Works like a charm, way better than CW Gnome.

For Whiskers (might need a bit more testing):
- Alpha Strike
- Dodge (Dive misses on this turn)
- Alpha Strike
- Alpha Strike*
- swap to carry
- swap to Teroclaw
- Dodge (Dive misses on the next turn)
- Alpha Strike - done.

*: Skip this one if Whiskers is around 30% (~480 HP) due to crits and proceed to swapping.

I came across this on accident. trying to make a speed kill strat. i looked at the last pet. being still a noobie. i didnt realize that alpha strike whould be weak against stormlash. Then i thought. Hmm why not try it out with lighting storm and black claw. and to my suprise. it just wrecked stormlash ;P

This strat plain does not work with a P/S Zandalari Anklerender. Chirrup casts Sunlight -> Photosynthesis and then Leap never kills it since it regens about as much as Leap deals every turn.

Ignore that, I can't read and was looking at the wrong strategy :) Feel free to delete.

Hey, you should remove the "strat suggested by" line, because this strat is from warcraftpets.com -- from their own guide, and not from that guy.

Hey there! It was certainly sent to me by Radicalizm at some point in the past. I could look up when exactly, but that still doesn't tell me where he might have gotten it from. If you are the original author of that strategy or know him or her, get in touch with me and I'm happy to add it to the strategy comment.

Viima wrote on 08/12/2017

551 HP left happens common and the enemy does use survival already at that point, every time. Could be clearer to update the guide to say 551. I'm 95% sure the actual trigger limit is 35% hp, in this case 560. Though not sure if it's <560 or <=560.

I experienced this same scenario (551 HP) and thought "Well, I guess we'll see how accurate the 550 threshold is." Then I went to add a comment and saw it had already been mentioned.

If you're using the P/P Anklerender you can just Leap as there's very unlikely to be any difference in the number of rounds needed to kill Chirrup (typically 4 rounds).

Your strategy work if Zandalari Anklerender has breath PP.
If Zandalari Anklerender has breath SS then the fight take more time, since your strategy only use Leep(364).

Your strategy do not swap to leveling pet.

Whiskers casted Survival at 551 HP. I know you have it noted as an estimate but just figured I'd share this minutia of a detail. Thanks for the strategy!

Strategy works perfectly, but Whiskers at 551 HP still uses Survival. Might want to change the Turn 4 instructions in the strat or it will fail at 551 HP.

This strat is wayyyyy too unreliable bc when the 2nd pet comes in, if it casts its huge whirlwind attack, it kills the Anklerender and doesn't get Black Claw on it. You have to restart the fight and seems like Stormrender casts that spell 90% of the time as its first spell.

Saintgabrial wrote on 12/17/2016

Yes, she will always casts that spell. But your Zandalari Anklerender should always go first, thanks to you useing LEAP to kill Chirrup and be able to cast Black Claw before she casts Call Lightning that will kill your Zandalari Anklerender. What breed is your Zandalari Anklerender? I have a P/B and P/S Zandalari Anklerender and this has never failed for me with either of them. Since they are not a P/P they don't help the Clockwork Gnome kill Stormlash right when it comes in, but always gets Black Claw cast.

My guess is your not casting Leap as the last skill to kill Chirrup. Leap MUST be used otherwise it will fail.

SnowWhite wrote on 05/27/2017

This didn't work for me either because my anklerender had a crit and killed chirrup in the two bites, no time for a leap. So, he didn't get the speed boost to go first.

Any Zandalari P/S or S/S with hunting party instead of bite will down this Chirrup in the right number of moves, and be faster than Stormlash.
