Mists of Pandaria Beta: Beware of Darkmoon Rabbits

Effectively, what we have here is a tiny, rodent-shaped world boss, folks. A world boss the potentially drops itself as a pet.
If you're dying to solo him, DeGei reports that pets don't get the debuff, so it's feasible for a warlock or hunter to pull it off ... but that 72 million health means you should bring something to read if you intend to attempt it.
Huge, sharp teeth, people. You have been warned. Speaking as a man who has a rabbit, you do not trifle with them.
It's open warfare between Alliance and Horde in Mists of Pandaria, World of Warcraft's next expansion. Jump into five new levels with new talents and class mechanics, try the new monk class, and create a pandaren character to ally with either Horde or Alliance. Look for expansion basics in our Mists FAQ, or dig into our spring press event coverage for more details!Filed under: News items, Mists of Pandaria

Well, many people will want to and they SHALL!
...assuming that it works under the same rules that we are to expect with loot being being completely irrelevant of how many people participate in a kill and all that jazz.
My only problem with this is that, inevitably, we're going to run along some jerks that keep groups to a minimum to purposely exclude others from being able to more easily obtain fun items like this.
Why did I run such a pessimist thought through my head? Now it's sure to happen!

I certainly agree with you. In fact, to elaborate, my thoughts are....

Yes.

Holy crap.
I'm in a guild called "Bring Out Your Dead".
Getting this achievement will be a high priority for us.

In case anyone cares/would be amused:
One of our weekly traditions is to RP-walk through Stormwind in a parade, /saying "Bring out your dead!"

My guild is Sharp Pointy Teeth, we will defeat this vermin!

I'm in the guild "the knights who say ni", and when we pug someone for a raid we demand them to bring us a shrubbery
Some people seem a bit disturbed, but hey, it's how you separate the strong from the weak...

@AltairAntares If you demand a shrubbery, I have that covered: http://www.wowhead.com/item=63122

I just soiled my armor.

He warned you!
nataswar Apr 3rd 2012 12:46AM
I've done it again!
mizarone Apr 3rd 2012 1:36AM
I warned you!

WoW and Monty Python at the same time?
Blizzard....THANK YOU! I want to hug you right now!

Killed him last night. He dropped a pet version with PH art of a bunny with a bone in its mouth. The bone was bleeding. It was hilarious tossing around Monty Python jokes in raid chat.
jereman Apr 2nd 2012 8:12PM
Look at the bones...!

Not that it matters but: Asheron's Call did it first. There used to be crowds of us, fighting and being slaughtered by the dread white bunny!
