This is an extremely useful item if you can level up your engineering in time for the 10-19 or 20-29 battlegrounds. This homes in on the target and explodes on contact. While it's not exactly fast, it requires no aiming whatsoever like the other explosives, so if you're close enough to your target it's like an instant explosion. I have killed many a foe in BGs with these, and I was hated greatly because of it. Definitely a great engineering toy.

My personal favorite thing to do is to go into the dwarven starting area on my server (very few alliance to horde) on my level 61 rogre, and set these off, really fun to see little gnomes get blown up :).

I've seen the most satisfying use out of this:
(I'm talking laugh and cheer out loud on vent to my friends for nigh on 3 minutes)

I was posted on Defense at WSG, in the flag room. I popped an Explosive Sheep, and waited around, in front of the flag...

My sheep took off, and I followed it, at walking pace... It traveled up the ramp, went up to the second floor, walked over to the balcony, and exploded in a STEALTHED rogue's face, on the second floor balcony.

This explosive sheep has Slealth Detection? And it's quite amazing... I used it a second time, only to have it uncover another rogue in the far corner of the room!

I'm going to do some research about this... If this is true, I'll be using this a lot more in BG's.

When I first made one of these about 2 years ago for the Gnomish quest, I tried one out. The sheep appeared at my feet and did not attack my target, and just vanished after a period of time without exploding.

At the time, it was mentioned on the boards that there was a condition for use: the target had to be actively attacking you, as the sheep was a guardian syle pet (defensive). This pretty much made it only useful on casters.

Does anybody know if this has been changed? Or if there are other conditions for use? Also, I assume the range is about 40 yards?

Fun little engineering thing :) especially in pvp. And for the history -- These refer back to the actual warcraft games in which any sheep wandering around you can click repeatedly until it explodes.

Reminds me of a classic Johnny Carson (as "Carnac the Magnificent") sketch...

CARNAC: Sis-boom-bah.
Carson start to giggle.
McMAHON: Sis-boom-bah.
Carson composes himself and rips open the envelope.
CARNAC: (reading) The sound an exploding sheep makes.
Carson collapses in laughter.

Is this usable in Arena?

If the cooldown is 1 minute and they last for 3 minutes, does that mean that you can have 2 at the same time? (guarding flags/nodes in BGs..)

Comentado por Nivrax

It does "home" on target, but the explosion is actually AoE, so watch out for cc.

This sheep makes me think of the good old team 13 Worms game

Mine has yet to do anything other than stand beside me until I pull the mob to me. When the mob gets close, it explodes.

Edit: Lovely - now they're just standing beside me and explode only when the timer runs out.

Comentado por 339934

If not used in 3 mins, it dies.

BOOM BOOM BOOM, suicidal sheep =D

Comentado por 339934

How do u make it select a target?

Comentado por svirve

It seems to be working if you use it while you are already in combat.
Otherwise it only follows you around for 3 minutes and finally suicides.

Comentado por lectrick

The sheep is bugged as of now. It won't target anything, it just stands there for 3 minutes and dies.

Comentado por 452994

That makes it pretty much usless except to increase engineering.

Comentado por rodmin

Maybe they're making another reference. It's a mechanical sheep that explodes in-game then a real one, so i believe that the best chance this item is making a reference is to Worms, the videogame.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worms_(series)

Edit: dunno why, but the (series) part is not recognized, and the link shows the disambiguation part. You can find Team 17's Worms there.

Have you read his post? It is happening to me too, stealthed, not stealthed, whatever, the sheep just stands there next to me until I get so close to the mob that it attacks me. Then, and only then (if within 3 minutes) will it do anything. I think what he was asking, and what I'd like to know is, is this a glitch? The new patch "fixed" the problem (not a problem in my mind) or what. Anyone who had this working before, is it still working as usual now? Please post and let me (and others who are wondering) know if it is still working or possibly what we're doing wrong. Thanks.

I've been using this lately on a 19 hunter. It is simply amazing in WSG. Far from useless, as said above.

Vachon,
What most of the previous posts are referring to is PVP situations against other players in battlegrounds like Warsong Gulch and Alterac Valley. What you're referring to is PVE combat against world mobs, which has a different set of mechanics than PVP.

Some observations via my warlock:

I won't comment on the use of the sheep in battlegrounds since that's been covered pretty well here,
but in world use:
Against PVE mobs, the sheep won't initiate any actions on their own, you have to initiate combat in some way, preferrably ranged combat. :-).

In my case, that includes telling my demon to attack, or using a ranged attack (for me, using a wand, although I expect a gun, bow or ranged spell will do likewise, didn't have a chance to try the spell idea before running out of sheep :-). Any of these should trigger the sheep to waddle over to the target monster and explode.

(Druid Engies will probably have to shift out of animal form to cast one of your offensive spells to get the sheep to attack a mob at a distance. Tangling Roots should keep the target at a distance long enough to enjoy watching your sheep do their stuff :-), although the sheep exploding will probably break the Roots. If you want to go all-out offensive with your Druid, I would suggest starting with Starfire (since it has the longest cast time), then back up while spamming Moonfire, letting your sheep explode on the mob as the mob runs toward you. But I can't test either of those ideas as my warlock is my Engie. :-)

(If you're using a combat pet, keep in mind that if your combat pet (and the sheep) attack and they end up killing the target mob before *you* damage that mob, you won't get to loot the body. But then again, the sheep isn't the fastest critter, you'll probably have at least a couple seconds (before the sheep explodes) to get some kind of damage on the mob first, so use with caution.)

The sheep exploding also starts a global cooldown on all of your explosives, just like using any of the other bombs. So again, use with caution.

As soon as I can scrounge/farm up some medium leather to make the bronze framework to make the sheep, I'll post again with some more observations (like if the sheep starts moving during a long spellcast, or if it waits until the spell actually goes off).
Hope this helps. :-)

EDIT: From WoWWiki:"The sheep is currently bugged, it won't do anything unless attacked."

I just used this in WSG and it did just follow me around for bout a minute but eventually it found a target and exploded for 140 DMV on the main target and also an extra 30 dmg to 3 other nearby enemy's,
Bug?

This item does remind me of a certain game involving little pink worms.

watch out im realeasing my explosive sheep of powa! its so cute then it explodes in your face yay

Great concept - lousy execution. It's rather a bit underwhelming. I actually stopped playing wow for a few months over the explosive sheep's lackluster performance. I worked so hard to level up my engineering and to get the materials to build one which at the time not being in a guild or having a higher level character was pretty hard and when I finally made one it just walked around for a minute then flopped down and died. Very anti-climatic after all that work. I used it a few times in 20-29 BG but rarely saw it do much damage or good.

This is one of those chances WOW could have really made something fun. They could have made it like a ground missile where it goes "BAAAAAA!" then rushes straight at the enemy and goes boom with a loud explosion. Now that would have been funny and a big "WTF!" from the other side. Instead it waddles slowly over and limply explodes. WOW really needs to hire some concept designers and programmers from Rockstar, the Grand Theft Auto creators, to make things like Explosive Sheep actually funny in action not just in thought.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Has anyone ever played worms? :D

Comentado por Allakhazam

First off, NICE. Second, after the time limit is over, does it explode in your face? Or can you use it to walk next to people you don't like (scammers etc.) and make it kill them?

What fun, what fun.

I can't get my sheep to run at something... they just follow me around until I get close to a mob... Is anyone else having this problem? Do they run at all?

Comentado por Allakhazam

I just posted but I dont think it went through... sorry for the repeat if it did. I just was wonder how you get the sheep to charge at a target? All my sheep do is follow me around until I run into to something? Any help would be great, thx!

Comentado por Allakhazam

ok to those who are confused with the issue "u cant tell the sheep to attack"
one it is a guardian pet like houdmaster loskely's dog whistle or a harvest reaper kit the pet does just what it says GUARDS you so its as if you had a pet but the good part is since this is a guardian you can summon more guardians sorta like the new druid talent "forces of nature" the one where u summon 3 treants to help u kill the enemy.Soyou can summon this and as many other guardians as you want to rip him the chicken the dragon the reaper and the bombling (cuz u can have 1 critter pet too) and either 1.walk around showing these things off. or 2. go kick some major @$$!

Comentado por Allakhazam

its funny you just see alittle Sheep walk towards enemy then a nice explosion. Fun to Impress newbies. Downfall. Requires Leather to make. so make good friends with leather man and make a bunch for laughs

Comentado por Allakhazam

I crafted 20 of them when rising my engi skill.
It's quite useful till level 20, if you couple them with grenades or dynos and attack only 1 mob at a time, because it's on separate timer from other explosives.
But you cannot choose the target, so once casted, it stays with you and will walk and explode on any mob at range, which can be annoying cause you get the aggro without control.

Comentado por Maalri

Questions: 1. It has a 1 minute timer so, this thing can be re-used over and over again?
2. Can you really make and have multiples of this thing following you around ready to blow up at anything you aggro?

I'm curious, what do these sheep do if you happen to place them in say... Elwynn Forest as a Horde character flagged for PvP? Asking for a friend...

Comentado por etou11

Unfortunately, Explosive Sheep is rather useless as it blocks the cooldown on other items of its consumable group (other explosives. Magic Dust etc.). After you summon it, the cooldown is suspended and you are unable to use an item of that consumable group. This suspension persists until Explosive Sheep has been destroyed / expired AND you have left combat. It will also NEVER explode on neutral mobs, even if you are in combat with them (melee range). Its advantage is its higher damage compared to other explosives at its level and the fact that it doesn't have a cast time
