[Battle Pet Question] Elementals and benefits due to weather

Post by Dreamer23

Hi everyone,

as far as I understand, elemental type battle pets won't get any advantages / disadvantages based on weather.
Does anyone know whether or nor this applies to their attacks as well?

Let's say I have an attack which deals +50% damage during darkness.
As far as I understand, my elemental won't count as blinded during darkness due to its type. (It won't receive positive weather effects either, will it?)
How about its attack - will it deal an additional 50% damage or does this count as part of the 'ignores all weather effects'?

Thanks! :D

If the attack gains the damage because the other creature is affected, then yes the attack gains extra damage.

For example - Fel Flame can cast Scorched Earth (so that opponent non-elemental pet counts as Burning) and then deals extra damage using Conflagrate.

If the attack requires that the elemental pet be buffed, then weather effects will not add that buff to the elemental pet.

For example - Singing Sunflower can cast Photosynthesis but even under sunny conditions does not gain the extra healing effect (I personally believe this is a bug, because Photosynthesis is an ability that only appears on elemental pets).

Thanks a lot gelf! :D
Actually Photosynthesis was the one I was interested about most, as it would mean a huge powerboost to the cute sunflower <3

Too bad it won't work - no point in leveling it any further then :(
