Takk the leaper (Elysium pvp)

[Tomike 0]

Hey,

Ive been wondering, since we're playing pre-1.9, does that mean takk has faster movement speed? I know lupos is doing shadow dmg, but im not sure about Takk. Thing is, last week ago I met a hunter, and we did a race (he had takk, I had thousan needles cat), we both used eyes of the beast and I was comparing their speed. They had exactly the same speed, which made me really confused. Was it because we were using eyes of the beast? Or is it permanently like that - meaning Takk is not worth getting, since hes the same as any WC raptor?

Thx for help

I do believe all the mechanics we have (except the maximum debuff slot) are from 1.12 version.

if all mechanics is from 1.2 Lupos should do Shadow and Takk should have high persuit speed, right?

and Snarler would have 100+ resistances naturally. That's not the case.

Oki. The question came from the fact that OP claimed that Lupos did Shadow.

Thats why Im asking about Takk, does anyone have him? Can he confirm him having/not having higher pursuit speed? So far everything indicates that he doesnt, but I wanna be 100% sure

I've seen other hunters with Takk in pvp and did not notice anything out of the ordinary with pursuit speed

Meh, FeelsBadMan. This is nostalrius rare spawn trailer back from 2015, at 1:45 they mentioned Takk being faster that any other pet. Must have been re-scripted since then

I just tamed Takk, I am level 40 and I tipped a kind level 15 hunter 2g for notifying me of the spawn. I just wanted to see whether or not his speed really was as fast as people say it is. Poor guy was really hyped on Takk, he had a raptor named DiscountTakk...

I don't know if there is a more accurate metric to measuring pet movement speeds, but doing circuits of certain distances in Orgrimmar, my pet Owl covered the exact same amount of distance in 60 seconds as Takk, and beat Takk handily when I turned on Dive 2.

EDIT: Ok, so a very chill shaman helped me test out Takk and my pet owl in a series of duels. For full information, I have the Bestial Swiftness talent. With the owl, a 60% mount is faster, but when Dive 2 was up and the owl had roughly a 20yd gap or less from the mounted player it was able to close the distance with player and make contact.

Takk was faster, although not by as much as I would have thought. If he attacked a player on a 60% mount running by he was able to keep up with them and attack them. However, if the mounted player had any gap between themselves and Takk, Takk was unable to close the distance (Raptors can't learn Dash). But it would be useful to note that when having to ride around obstacles or make turns, Takk had the angle on the player and would be slowly gaining taking a more efficient line. But most of the time the player got far enough away that Takk simply despawned.

Conclusion: Maybe if I had tamed Takk at a lower level myself I would keep him, but I don't feel like leveling in a 40+ zone with a 19 raptor for a marginal benefit.

Perfect answer, thanks! Will probably stick with the pet I have right now.
