Ah, the brown chimera! Long ago, this lovely creature attracted my eye, so when I saw I had the chance to actually try it out, I figured 'Why the heck not?' I've been playing around the PTR, so I figured it would be something I could do while waiting for the newest build. And something I could do without having to feel bad for not raiding.
So, since there's only one place to find this skin now, it was down to Azshara to do some hunting the cliffs.
After a couple feedings of roast beef to cheer him up, my new chimera was ready for inspection. I moved to Hyjal to do it, since I knew I'd come here for a few things anyhow.
First off, as usual, I give my view of just how they look. And as mentioned before, of all the chimera, this was my favorite skin by *far*. I say 'was' because I haven't compared it to the cream skin, though I still think it may end up winning even there. It's very 'natural' looking to me, and between the color and the familiar 'vanilla chimera' skin, I absolutely adore just how this guy looks!
For utility, I threw together a quick DPS build and went to down on some of the local Hyjal 'wildlife'. The slow is, I find, not as handy for pulling a sa venom spit (as you have to wait all that much longer for them to get there), but it *is* quite nice when used by the pet as it 'tanks'. Plus, a 5 second slow and a 7 second CD (when fully talented) means that the slowing effect is all but constantly up.
Froststorm breath was also tested, naturally. I have to say that I'm extremely pleased with what I see of it! For one, it is no longer on the GCD (if it ever was before), meaning that you can have it up whenever you need. Secondly, they can move while it's being cast, as long as they are not actively attacking or doing something else. And thirdly, not only was it doing 2k per tick, but the breath attack *can* crit, meaning that there were more than a few 4k whacks in the channel. All in all, very pleasing, and I consider it extremely useful for later!
I am somewhat disinclined t odrop The razza ,simply because of the memories that he offers. However, when it comes to pure looks, I have to say that this pretty brown wins solidly. I'm going to have to think about it pretty hard, as I may very well consider making him a keeper! And even if I don't, having tested the breath out on the PTR, I'm extremely satisfied with how useful the chimera will be for a Beast Master AOE.
Now, off to see just how good one of those tan fellows looks with me...
So, would you be willing to go a little extra distance and roll a low level pet? I'm playing around with leveling a worgen hunter, and would love to get a suggestion for a pet.
I can do another random for Kurasu later; for now, I wanna get a little done with my wuffie.
Aloicious
Level: 20 (with how fast leveling is, I could probably handle a little higher, but 20 or below is ideal for right now)
Exotics: Nope (way too low level)
Restrictions: None! If you get something in Horde territory, I'll just consider it a challenge. It might just take extra time.
at it is that it was less than a day since you'd posted and someone else was rolling. I don't mind if someone's taking over, but at least give the original person the chance IMO. 
But maybe that's just me. Plus, like you said: too confusing in the end if there's a bunch coming in!
