Now ive seen alot of evidence of high dmg but of course like always it will get nerfed. Thus max dmg crits we will probs be looking at 3-3.5k at 80 probs nothin near 5k or 12 in that matter.... As a fellow hunter who wudn't want a 1 shot kill pet but hey that's the life of blizz. It's just a teaser in the beta :P

But looking at recent talents, if going BM spec for WOTLK we are looking very promising, as mixing in with a bit of MM, high amounts of AP/DPS will be at our feet.

Any idea what % it slows the target by and for how long?

Cannot be removed by Shapeshifting for some reason >.<

Nor PvP trinkets, nor the beast within

Roughly 17.143 seconds out of every minute is the amount of time they are spent without a snare if used back-to-back (assuming you have Longevity 3/3)

Edit: Meaning Roughly 42.86 seconds of every minute your pets target is snared.

To summarize all the useful information on this spell:

1. It has a 10 second cooldown
2. The Beast Mastery talent Longevity will reduce the cooldown to 7 seconds
2. The damage is slightly more than Bite (the focus dump for Chimarae)
3. The focus cost is 20, while Bite's is 25, meaning it will be used first
4. It has a 30-yard range
5. The exact slow percentage is 50%
7. The slow effect cannot be removed with shapeshifting, PvP trinkets, or Bestial Wrath
9. The slow lasts 5 seconds
10. The Chimarae is a Cunning type pet

The best parts: for BM hunters, this spell has a 7 second cooldown, with an irremovable 5 second snare, at a 30-yard range.

Tooltip says frost AND nature damage. Does it deal damage twice or what?

Comment by wye43

I just tested and this effect does not qualify as daze effect for skills like Steady Shot

this is where its superior to a hyenas tendon rip:-

1. cannot be blocked, parried like tendon rip
2. deals frost and nature damage so ignores armor and is difficult to resist
3. doesn't have to do a 'weird stop thing to use'
4. a spell not a physical effect
5. more damage
6. shorter cool down (half in fact)
7. from my experiences it can be kept up permanently with longevity
8. Ranged
9. harder to dispell
10. its from a cunning pet which means lower DPS but higher PVP use
11. you can call it dragon names (Im calling mine nightfury :))

Here is where its inferior to tendon rip:-

1. Shorter duration
2. requires a 51, BM hunter so you miss out on some PVP goodies from other trees
3. Tendon rip is from a ferocious family dealing more damage than a chimaera, with the right talents that is
4. Tendon rips user looks like a little doggie :D

so basically froststorms way better by 7 points (ignore 4 and 11)
