Description says the frenzy triggers off your pets basic attack but it looks like it actually only triggers off special attacks. Bug or working as intended with an incorrect tooltip?

They copy pasted it from retail.
In retail claw/bite is considered basic attack. Not auto attack, but basic attack.

Ah right, wish I hadnt camped out for BT for so long then haha
does it stack with frenzy talent?
Haven’t tested but I imagine it would, it’s a diff buff.
I found in SoD, BITE will only trigger an initial stack of Frenzy, but CLAW will allow it to stack.
My annoyingly noisy fiery demon dog pet will allow Frenzy to stack up to 5 times, while on my cat, I only ever get a single instance of Frenzy with Bite.
This just seems wrong, and it DOES seem like this should be considered a bug for SoD.
You toggle off Bite and let only Claw proc frenzy. Hence why you want a fast attacking pet to stack claw 5x quickly.

While cats can learn CLAW, the only cats that start with this ability is a Ghost Saber or King Bangalash. For other cats, you will have to train a pet who knows CLAW (most bears, crabs, scorpids, owls) and level the ability to be able to add it to your list of abilities you can train your cat on.
If using the Focus Fire Rune with a cat, I have yet to test to see if the difference in pet damage (Level 50 Pet - Bite Rank 7: 66 - 80 / Claw Rank 7: 35 - 49 dmg) is worth it.
Whatre you talking about its not worth it? Just go tame a lvl 50 pet that knows the highest ranked claw. Lvl up your faster cat (Broken tooth, King Bang, etc) to 50 and teach it. Youre making it harder than it needs to be. Its simple hunter 101. Claw has no cd and goes off the next swing from cats, BITE is on CD and takes way more energy. If you arent willing to do that youre skimping out on yourself. Hunter discord has already simmed and tested all this stuff.

Go get Claw and move on. Bite has a 10sec cooldown and is not a reliable way to stack frenzy.

it sounds like the testing has already been done for me! TY for pointing this out. OMW to Feralas to get an Ironfur Patriarch to get CLAW for my cat.
Youre welcome. I recommend joining the discord if you have any hunter related questions for both melee/ranged. Theyve probably tested most things you might have thoughts on and can answer right away.
