So, youāre telling meā¦ that in 19 years, Blizzard has never bothered to tie pet scaling into weapon damage?
Thatā¦ justā¦ how!? I mean, I always knew Hunters (particularly BM) scaled poorly, but this entire time it was that simple!? (Iām referring to the coding shared by Adreaver.)
Iām laughing, people. What a ridiculous thing! What a ridiculously simple change! When I read Kaivax saying āweād like to retain that,ā I cheered. Such a small change, but with great potential!
But still. It took them NEARLY TWO DECADES to figure that out!?

It scaled with weapon damage indirectly, there was nothing overtly wrong with that nor is it going to magically solve scaling problems now. It was just converted to pseudo attack power in an interim step, but still derived from weapon damage.
Itās surprising it didnāt get caught in the changes to bear/cat that addressed the same, but still, not overtly a massive deal (except when grossly misused in a new formula such as that which evoker brought to light). In theory, had they noticed prior to the release, they could have just as easily adjusted the existing formula and kept the status quo.
I know itās not an all-fix, but this is a great step in the right direction.
It just blows my mind that they justā¦ never did this in the first place.

It scaling with weapon damage is so cool and I absolutely love it. Just tried it out post-changes and am having an absolute blast right now. My pets are on fire!!
BM still needs more of a nerf. A Kill Command crit from both pets combined crits for more than an Aimed shot currently. The second pet Kill Command should hit for 50% damage of the first or Kill Command needs a cast time.
When BM has Animal Companion, they hit for -35% each.

Yupā¦sort ofā¦
They tied it to your AP. When bows had varying speeds, it was the better option
So now that its been a few days and look over raid parses and seeing BM is still second place are BMs done freaking out?
Honestly just let me gear up my pet as well.
Were can I see this data?
Warcraftlogs
Looked there and BM still top, but doesnāt show SV or MM. Any other suggestions for info?

Thanks for posting this. MM and SV needs some help it looks like.
When is MM going to get some love? Or SV? MM is dying in the water, SV is and always has been stillborn - and in the most recent raid, both MM and SV have essentially 5% of the parses that BM does.
No one wants to play these subclasses anymore. I feel like Iām one of the few left, the fraction of players who touch MM because of their underperformance.
I would be happy if MM could be a mobile ranged DPS for a change. Let us cast Aimed Shot on the move again, just give us Sniper Training to encourage us to stand still. Stand still for 2 seconds to gain +12% Aimed Shot damage, and simply reduce the damage of Aimed Shot to match. Actually - donāt reduce the damage. Weāre not doing well on the DPS charts right now. This could help us appear in raids more often.
Make Lone Wolf baseline for all specs and replace the talent node with Sniper Training. Please. :c It would make MM so much fun to play, and differentiate us from other Ranged DPS classes.
lonewolf beast mastery? huh?

Keep in mind MM and SV will jump up the meters quite a bit when they get their new 4pc. They arenāt as bad as they seem. Although MM needs a LOT of love still in my opinion.
