Yes it is.
There was a 35% penalty on ALL PET DAMAGE with animal companion. This included kill command, auto attacks, stomp, and pet abilities.
They are removing the 35% penalty here:
And then re-nerfing the stomp, kc, and ability damage by the exact same amount here:
This results in ~53.8% (1/0.65=1.53846) more auto attack damage from pets and increases haste as a valuable stat.
This change is because hunters were basically never pressing cobra shot, which made all the talents around it useless. They just spread out the rotation so now it’s 3 buttons instead of just 2.
Which actually got buffed more than it was nerfed.
It has a 50% longer cd (or what WOULD have been a 33% nerf), but does 100% more damage. This is a 33% increase to barbed shot damage overall, and more if/when you get procs.
These are ALL buffs to bm.
If you don’t know how something works, then ask. Don’t lie and make misleading threads for attention.
