Hunter Pet Damage Adjustment Coming Soon Today

Evokers, Paladins, and Warlocks top DPS for weeks, and Blizzard leaves them untouched. One week after 10.2 launch, and BM doing too much DPS quick we need to fix them. Hunters are only broken when they are too strong.

Read the post again Ogdenir

Watching some people flip out over a bugfix that was completely justified makes me embarassed to also play a hunter lol.

Of course they did, these are hunters we’re talking about.

Oh, so it’s worthless. Got it.

Ouch.

Kaivax said they were going to nerf special pet attacks by 25% (after the intended 32.5% buff from weapon scaling).

Now the official hotfix notes say they actually nerfed special pet attacks by 32.5% so they didn’t leave anything extra lol.

I read it and it was a bug they fixed. Other specs had changes that caused them to cause insane amounts of damage. Blizzard took thier time to address them. Hunters only had this issue for a small time, and they jumped on it.

They noticed the problem fast when it was Hunters.

Kek if that aint the truth

bro this “bug” was around for maybe like 10 hours tops.

they noticed the problem fast when they unintentionally giga buffed the spec to do stupid damage what a shocker. Who would’ve thought doing 20k dps than the next spec would get fixed

This is ridiculous.

BM hunters got nerfed a DAY after being amazing, but it took an ENTIRE month to even address the god comp classes.

People were talking about this bug yesterday when Wowhead showed the dps charts for all the specs.

It’s not about the fix It’s about how selective Blizzard is about fixing issues. Hunters have had a issue with Revive/Mend pet since 10.2, and today I was trying to kill a rare but I couldn’t heal my pet cause it kept trying to rez than heal.

This. Down the line, this bug fix just might fix a lot of BM scaling issues.

The pet rez bug, while annoying, is not game breaking, and they have a fix, it just didn’t make it into this maintenance. You can execute the fix yourself by just pulling each ability onto a separate button.

Pets doing 32.5% more damage than intended due to a bug they introduced yesterday could allow top guilds to blow through DPS checks by stacking BM Hunters, and this is during the RWF. It had to be fixed immediately.

Fr this been driving me crazy

The rez bug killed me cause I couldn’t heal my pet and then couldn’t rez them. That breaks my game. They still have not found a fix, so they had to separate the two abilities.

I mean, open your spell book and put the abilities on separate buttons. I know you can, because I already have. If you can fix it yourself in about 10 seconds, that doesn’t really meet the definition of ‘gamebreaking’ to me.

This was this morning and didn’t get the info about how to solve it. Didn’t help me to find out later that this was Blizzard’s solution.

Should I first thing now go look for every change beforehand playing just incase?

Ya, that scans. My KC crits were doing about 103k this morning, and doing about 72k running M+ this evening with some friends.

Feign death? Lol

I did that, but it was a snake and the dot killed me. Pet dies and I tried to rez, but didn’t work. Took hits, so I used my heal up and Turtle, then FD.

It always a DoTs that kills me. Can’t just shake them off. Stone form, Turtle, Exhiliration all have cooldowns, and if it takes too long to kill than the DoTs have enough time to work.
