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.
Range: Cone
Cost: 50 Focus
Cooldown: 10 seconds
Available to: Dragonhawks

Gore is a physical attack that hits the enemy causing damage. When it hits it has a 50% chance to do double damage, While the damage cause by gore is not that high, it is an instance with no cool down. This makes it ideal for beast master hunters that regenerate so much focus for their pets. 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.

Cost: 25 Focus
