Bring blink strikes back?

Just curious who else agrees and if not why it would be a bad idea.

Certainly don’t think any of the devs actually read these forms so shoot away with wild ideas!

Why??? It would serve no purpose today. Blink strike was used to cover distance, it’s useless now that kill command and barbed shot cause the pet to “charge” the target. Kill command has a 50yrd range as well.

Blink Strike was useless in Legion except extremely heavy AoE. I dont think this will be useful in BfA.

It was extremely buggy in wod raids. That my only experience With it

Eh true but it’s extremely hard for your pet to charge over the buggy terrain…Don’t know if blink strikes would fix that…Also is there is there an internal cool down on the charge? I guess I was thinking less about pve and more about pvp think the charge is almost useless when your target drops down a level…your pet can’t charge with no path available.

Alzebra good to know I didn’t play much of legion.

Don’t know if I’m crazy or not but I find flying pets to help with pathing issues. I just seem to have less problems. Also do you have pet attack macros set? Those actually help somewhat too

Blink Strike has 30sec CD blink.

Only main pet blinks ‘backside of enemy’

Blinking ‘backside of enemy’ made lots of glitches

Yea have all the macros. Good to know about the flying pets I’ll have to try it.

Alzebra Blink strikes had a 20s cool down I thought.

I see what you mean. Games been out a few months and i have still have to dismiss my pet before doing taloc in uldir cause of pathing. Even ib sob on the last bos i had to re summin my pet like 6 times mid fight

Its BS like this that does nothing but hurt real change. Talc is on a moving platform, walk a few steps into it NOT IN COMBAT and you pet moves onto it.

99% of the “horrible pet ai” complaints are people just being lazy or stupid. 14 years as a hunter and I can only remember 1 actual bad pathing issue and that was thorums hall in ulduar, the pet would run to the end of the hall on the side and back down the center pulling everything.

Other than that it is just bad players. Hell people blame pets so much you can be MM without a pet and someone will pull an extra group and blame a non existant pet just because a hunter is in the group.

Lol what? How. Ive started the taloc fight plenty of times and the pet never follows me in no matter how far in the room i am unless you dismiss it 1st which is an easy fix

It will only follow you in after the tentacles are dead.

Pets dont like tentacles bro, I cant blame them.

Like most people suggested all you need to do is move in a little closer toward the middle and your pet will correct it pathing. If you still having the same issue with pet path on Taloc then there something wrong with you and not the pet ai.
