Confession time: I’ve exploded so many cuddly critters into spouts of gore this week that it’s not even funny. Okay, it is a little funny. And awesome.

Land mines, sticky grenades, sonic booms, and waves of fire — I’ve used them all to throw out insane burst damage with my Double Damage team over the past few weeks, and now it’s time to give them an official rating.

Patch 5.2 launched this week, and I’m celebrating a little oddly: playing the nerfed burst damage pet strategy!

Now hear me out before you toss this podcast in the trash. A lot of pet tamers have spent a lot of time leveling up their burst damage pets—trust me, I’ve been killed by enough of them over the past month to know. So this week I want to figure out if a burst damage team is still viable after the big nerfs in 5.2 or if you and I are going to have to bench all our burst damage pets for the time being, and lose the time spent leveling them up.

So hopefully this team can leave nothing but little splatters of pet body parts in its wake.

Here’s how to make them work for you.
