Fire Breath

Fire breath is a cone attack that hits everyone near the front of your Dragonhawk for fire damage and places a 2 second DOT on them that does additional damage. The damage is applied when hit and then at the end of the first and second second affected.

Fire Breath damage is based on the rank of the fire breath, a bonus based on pet level and a portion of your RAP. While the damage caused per rank listed below may seem low, it creeps up with level. In addition the bonus from RAP is roughly 2.2%, so for every 100 RAP you have, fire breath gains roughly 2 damage.

Furious Howl

Furious Howl is a essentially a group buff done by your pet. When it howls everyone within 15 yards of the wolf gains a buff to their next damaging physical attack. The buff lasts 10 seconds.

Gore

Gore is a physical attack that hits the enemy causing damage.

This ability is commonly referred to as a focus dump ability, and is one of the factors that make boars and ravagers such popular pets.
