so you made it to the part where I talked about a difference in perception, a way to calculate the math, and update to a tooltip, and about a 3% difference from exactly what they did?
DUDE READ, I’m not even complaining about reining in the damage a little bit.
The bug has nothing to do with Aug effecting BM, the bug is that while changing how logs handle pet damage they made pets scale with weapon attack power
Ignoring the inadvertent buff again, I see.
You aren’t a serious person.
I don’t think you’re understanding what happened here.
All day 11/14 BM damage was X
They fixed some bug or something between yesterday and this evening
That bug fixed inadvertently buffed pet damage by 25% and introduced weapon scaling to pet damage
This evening they removed the bugged pet damage but kept the weapon scaling
Moving forward, BM damage is still X on top of pet damage having weapon scaling
Same. Difference.
They accidentally buffed them by allowing augmentation to give them more damage than intended.
INSTEAD OF FIXING THAT INTERACTION, they blanket nerfed.
Again, I DON’T EVEN PLAY BM. However, the fact you and so many others lack proper logic is disturbing to me. This is not an acceptable change in the least. You should not be praising Blizzard for a blanket nerf.
Yeah man, i dont raid so i didn’t experience the ST bug.
But in m+ i was generally being up there or slighty above good players, no idea how things are gonna go after this, i guess ill see when i run my 18 wcm.
Your reputation on this forum is not exactly good sir. You have shown time and time again a limited critical thinking capacity.
With that being said, have a good day sir. Ill come back after the logs confirm what I all ready know.
I don’t think you’re understanding what’s happening here friend, please refer to my post here
Absolutely not the same difference unless you think only hunters with an aug on their team are allowed to equip a weapon, the bug was literally making pet damage scale with weapon attack power. Again literally the only reason Aug is even mentioned in the post is because they were changing how logs attributed damage from pets
If that is indeed the case, they should be more clear in their post. As it stands, it just seems like a blanket nerf by 25% to major pet abilities.
I 100% understand.
What you don’t understand is BM was still middle of the pack with the bug. (which I posted the WARCRAFTLOGS GRAPH OF)
I literally posted the warcraftlogs of the past day to show you and all the others saying this was justified.
You are trying to justify nerfing a spec into oblivion.
You have quite literally no idea what you are talking about. When they fixed augmentation evoker combat hooks yesterday for Warcraft Logs, that process ALSO BUFFED pet abilities by ~30%.
Oh so you are reading my posts after all.
Maizou, I have a lot of things I could say about your penchant for misinformation, but alas I’m currently typing this on my phone while walking through a busy train station. So I’ll keep it simple:
You didn’t read the initial post and you’re missing an important part of the sequence. There was the Aug log problem, and then when they tried to fix it they accidentally buffed pet damage by about 30%. The 25% nerf is a correction to that.
So we didn’t get nerfed. Read better
No, this part is not correct.
The pet damage formula changed from BaseDamage+(AP*coefficient) to BaseDamage+((AP*APcoefficient)*(WeaponDamage*WeaponDamagecoefficient)).
Prior to the hotfix, the coefficient was hardcoded much higher than other abilities, because those abilities didn’t scale from weapon damage. Since they now do scale from weapon damage, and the coefficient was way higher than it should have been before, the overall damage of pet specials was significantly higher than it was prior to the Augvoker hotfix.
It’s not a nerf though.
BM is doing roughly the same damage BM did yesterday. It just has weapon scaling now.
The lack of logical reasoning with a simultaneous ability to imply nothing you said is disturbingly high in the general population. I don’t even blame Blizzard for the fuzzy explanation anymore, this is the conversation our player base deserves apparently. This is life now 
BM is probably gonna level out fine when tier is to the masses. People just can’t see the big picture.
Cool now do the raid chart, warcraftlogs com/zone/statistics/35#difficulty=4&dataset=95
They actually explained it very clearly in their post. You just didn’t read it.
Kaivax said in OP that pets were doing extra damage after a recent hotfix, it’s right there
