Brilliant improvement for the Spore Bats. I, as many others, love those elegant beasts, but so far they were absolutely useless. With this ability, however, they'll be a sought-after pet for PvE and even might prove good for PvP depending on how much 700 armor will be at level 80.

On a side note, I'd like to point out that the birds' Screech ability (which will be changed in WotLK) currently is an AoE debuff and acts like an AoE aggro magnet, very suitable for grinding multiple mobs at once.
The Spore Cloud seems to be even better, it not only has a powerful AoE debuff but also does some AoE damage. So hopefully this will be even more useful than Demoralizing Screech which means your lovely pet can fight 4-5 mobs at once and you won't have to worry about getting aggro from Mend Pet or even Multishot.

Anyone in the beta able to determine if this stacks with other armor pen raid debuffs such as sunder and Faerie Fire?

Only a 5 yard range but with a 10 second cooldown (7 with talents) this would still be great at getting stealthed rogues with. Nice PvE and PvP applications.

Perhaps stupid question but could the AoE effect break Poly and Sap etc?

On the ptr it doesn't appear to ever cast this if set to auto cast, regardless of the number of mobs in range or the amount of focus it has.

I think this ability is currently bugged in several ways:

1. It does not autocast at all

2. when manually casting it, it will say "Ability not ready" most of the time even if it's not on cooldown (and yes there is enogh focus).

One thing to keep in mind when looking at Spore Cloud's damage is that it scales with your attack power. My sporebat is using rank 4 Spore Cloud (7 to 9 damage per tick on tooltip) but with 800ish ap @ level 60) it is really ticking for 57-59 damage.

Spore cloud seems to have a range less than melee, if you send in your pet to use the ability it will, but it will be out of range once its engaged. Doesn't matter if you macro it or what not since it will only be able to use the ability on something that is not trying to melee it back. You can test this easy enough by eyes of the beasting it onto a target dummy. Force it closer than it would normally be and you can use the spore cloud.

After doing some tests on a training dummy with a fixed damage crossbow, and with the help of a druid friend, I can confirm that this DOES NOT stack with Faerie Fire. My shots were doing the exact same damage with and without the spore cloud debuff.

I've done a considerable amount of testing on sporebats because I absolutely love them beyond all sane reasoning, anyhow here is what I know:

Rank 5 does not autocast, either on the live realms or on the PTR
Rank 5 can get "ranged bugged" on certain mobs meaning that it won't fire at all even when manually triggered, again this is on both the live realms and the PTR

Rank 6 can autocast, on both the live realms and the PTR so if you get a sporebat to 80 it will suddenly start to use sporecloud automatically.
Rank 6 can get "ranged bugged" on the live realms, however on the current (3.0.8) PTR the range bug is fixed and can be used on anything, both autocasting and from manual casts

The armor debuff is classed as a minor armor reduction, I tested in the nagrand arena with a rogue and druid friend, the rogue and druid both used their armor debuffs on each other and then my pet aoe sporeclouded them both, the druid reported additional armor reduction, while the rogue reported no change.

Spore cloud actually targets the ground under the main mob, making a cloud where they stand, this cloud is what causes the damage, so if your target is moved out of the cloud the dot will fall off of them, if the target is quick enough they can actually take 0 damage.

I just love my sporebat! The only thing it lacks is that its not a tenacity pet :-/

Spore Cloud works like Consecration for those of you who are familiar with playing paladins, this means that it will affect an area for 9 secs (NOT specific targets). Whoever moves into this area will gain the Spore Cloud debuff, similarly, whoever moves out of this area will lose the debuff.

In the tooltip, it does not state anywhere that "only one Spore Cloud per Sporebat can be active at any one time" meaning with the Longevity talent it is theoretically possible to have 2 Spore Clouds active at once.

Please also note that this spell has 2 components; the damage component (22 to 28 damage every 3 secs) and the armor mitigation component (armor reduction of 3%), both of these components function independently - meaning it is possible to receive the damage even if the armor mitigation can't function due to a more powerful armor mitigation being active and visa versa.

I believe Sporebats are best suited for raids, even though there are better options (i.e. wolves, devilsaurs), Sporebats are unique and favored among few.
