Defeating the Burning Pandaren Spirit Tamer

This strategy is set up to be able to kill all three of the enemy pets with two pets and carry another along for the ride to level. This daily yields about 5500 XP (with Safari Hat equipped). The main reason this strategy works is because the AI for these NPCs is predicable. I do this on a daily basis for the Bag of Loot, Pet XP, and a little bit of gold. This is one of three of these Pandaren spirits that you can carry a pet along to level with. Check out the strategy posts I wrote for the Flowing Pandaren Spirit, the Thundering Pandaren Spirit and the Whispering Pandaren Spirit.

The Location

The Burning Pandaren Spirit Tamer is located in the norther tip of Townlong Steppes. The closest flight point to him would be Longying Outpost located to the Southeast of his position.

The Daily Quest

You will pick up the quest – Defeat the Burning Pandaren Spirit from him at his location. Upon completion, this quest will reward you with:

11 or 19 gold (depending on your level)
Pandaren Spirit Pet Supplies
5 x Valor Points
2 x Lesser Charm of Good Fortune

The Fix

You can generally carry a pet of level 10 or higher with this tamer. The pets that are doing all the heavy lifting are what i have always used with success, Harbinger of Flame and Tiny Blue Carp. The Harbinger of Flame is the only one I would say was Required for this strategy but I have heard of pet battlers using Anubisath Idol as a replacement. The Tiny Blue Carp on the other hand is interchangeable with a few other pets, the only requirement is that the pet you change him out with needs to have Surge and Pump available in its moves set. You will need both of these abilities to pull this off with the strategy.

I did a quick search and found 4 suitable replacements for the Tiny Blue Carp:

Fishy

Purple Puffer

Sea Pony

Tiny Goldfish

Lets assume you have the same to pets I use in the video, you want to set them up like so;

 
Pet Slot 1             Carry Pet (must be able to survive 900 damage and do 300 combined damage)

Pet Slot 2             Harbinger of Flame (P/S): Jab > Magma Wave > Impale
Pet Slot 3             Tiny Blue Carp (H/B): Surge > Healing Stream > Pump

The Fight

Crimson - Abilities: Breath > Cyclone > Flyby

When the fight starts you want to open with your Harbinger of Flame, the first 2 moves you cast will be Magma Wave. The first one will clear the Cyclone off the field and the second will just do damage to the pets in the back line. Your next move will be Jab and then another Jab and that should kill the first enemy pet.

Pandaren Fire Spirit - Abilities: Conflagrate > Immolate > Cauterize

The next pet up will be the Pandaren Fire Spirit. His first move will be an early nuke he casts and will most likely kill your Harbinger of Flame, that's fine because that's all you needed him to do. The next pet you move to the front line is the Tiny Blue Carp, This pet will need to charge Pump then do 2 Surges back-to-back. After the second Surge unleash your stored charge of Pump, this will kill him.

Glowy - Abilities: Swarm > Confusing Sting > Glowing Toxin

The last pet out will be Glowy, your Tiny Blue Carp will be OK for health for now but after the glow fly stacks his damage over time poisons on it you will have limited time to beat him. Depending on how much heath you have left you will use the same rotation you just used on the Pandaren Fire Spirit, Pump, Surge, Surge, Pump. If by some chance one of those surges is a critical strike you may want to skip the Pump and just Surge one last time before you die so you don't kill him without having a chance to get your carry pet into the fight. Once the Glowy is down to under 300 heath swap in the carry pet and finish him off. You want the ability to that you use on your carry pet to do damage and as much of it as possible, don't bother with damage over time or heals, go strait for the throat because he will be using Swarm by now and that damage will get heavier and adds up fast.
