There are three hunters using Eyes of the Beast, sitting out of range of their pets and killing people nearly instantly in Splintertree Post. When the guards or other players engage their pets and get their pets’ hp low, they just cancel Eyes of the Beast to recall their pets. The guards don’t go after the hunters. Is this intended gameplay?

well i mean hunters clearly would be underpowered if their pets couldnt do this
Classic has 19+ years of jank.
Just like fence-hopping in WSG,
Exploits are just seen as ‘intended’ due to the age of the game, and if you don’t know them, get bent, basically.
I would’ve personally seen these things fixed but the Era crowd would scream you out of town for suggesting change.
Yes. @Blizzard. Fix this now. They literally sit at the top of Splintertree Post, use Eyes of the Beast, jump down the mountain with pet taking no damage, and just murder everyone in town. Guards doing no damage, wouldn’t really put a damper on what they’re doing anyhow. Fix ASAP. Their pet should die jumping down the mountain that far or at least reduce range of the skill… Something. Ridiculous
Ive been doing this since the start of sod. Its very very fun to do. I would suggest rolling a hunter to understand how fun it actually is. You also get honor for killing with the pet.

It’s fun for the Hunter because you get to abuse an overlooked game mechanic
I mean people have been posting this since the beginning. Blizzard knows this. They havnt changed it. Whos to blame. I agree that its op as hell. Ive been on the other end of a random wind serpent roaming around. I can only just laugh.

We were already doing it 19 years ago.
In wrath there was even a glyph to increase pet dmg during eye of the beast if I recall correctly. With a cat and prowl it was like playing a rogue. Can’t wait to have prowl in SoD.
Am thinking of a word that starts with the letter N
Just killed them. I went and one shot them with arcane blast. Ezpz.
calm down its just a game
Just CC the pet.
Fear works great and it lands like every time on them.
The pet will sit full duration fear. You can also hibernate it, sheep it, nova it, etc.
All CC works on the pets and is very annoying for the hunter.
Whether I’m the hunter doing it, or the lowbie getting killed by it, I really don’t care. Don’t bother trying to explain to me about the unfairness. I’m just here to say that you can feel free to grab a pitch fork and form a mob, maybe go around Splintertree, up the mountain, and kill the hydra rather than complaining about its heads trolling you. Just a fun idea that rings to me like a PvP server sort of thing to do. Otherwise I might suggest a PvE server if enemies gaining advantages – not invulnerabilities, just advantages in an open MMO PvP setting – upsets you so.
