Who said there isnt another 10% coming next week? These are the hunter devs, after all.
You did more than fix the bug, itās a massive knee-jerk over-reaction.
Iāve gained 9 ilevels including 16 on my weapon since 10.2 hit yet I still do exactly the same overall damage on test dummies (over 5x 10 minutes test windows) as I did on patch day. Thatās pathetic blizz.
Fix the bug but donāt grind a spec into the dust just because itās competing with your pet favourite DHs.

Thank you?..
So did survival eat an indirect nerf today or not?
It wasnāt as hard as SV KC is used as a focus generator, and used less.
Nobody was nerfed at all.
SV got the same changes BM did. The changes were to pet damage calculations, and are not a nerf. Notice how basic attacks and Flanking Strike were included as well.
Iāve said it before, they need to get rid of their āhuntardā mentality some day
This thread is amazing.
The amount of people who canāt read/follow the sequence of events and just start screaming about nerfs pretty accurately reflects how many people react online to headlines without knowing anything about a topic.
Keep it coming!

So unless you simmed out your damage based on 24 hr bug its a net buff to scaling.
Iām glad they caught this early, BM got to see what A tier looked like for a solid 2 days. Affliction was getting lonely being F tier, now they have someone to keep them company while their guilds raid and do keys.
Iām hoping the pet scaling stays because I think thatās a good thing. Everyone else gets increased dps when they upgrade their weapon and since our pets are āour main weaponā, this will help long term, yes?
It was always my understanding that we fall off each season as people learn fights and our mobility becomes less important and because pets didnāt scale.
I do understand about the nerf/correction being a bit of a bummer. No, we canāt be massively OP due to a bug and I understand that. However I did 2 keys yesterday during this short window and was thinkingā¦.Oh Hey! Yeah! Iām getting better at this this.
Now, itās like ā¦. No, no you arenāt.

Thereās three different sides claiming different outcomes. Either they nerfed BM damage, it just back at were it should be, or they have actually given BM a buff cause pets scale with weapons.
There still more data that needs to come in. As more specs get thier set tiers and Hunters get their upgrades then it will be more clear.

It does seem weird that theyād choose to affect survival too with this one. They arenāt even doing so hot on DPS charts.
It makes sense to try and do it ahead of a time so that they donāt get out of hand one day without the change, but compensation would have been nice.
It does seem that though this tries to be equal to the output before, it reads like a slight damage nerf.
132.5% - 33 means pets deal 99.4% of damage they did previously.
Given the performance of BM hunters with the bug and survival at bottom of DPS, I feel a nerf of 20% would be more justified. Which would have given hunters a buff of 6% pet damage instead giving Survival and Beast Mastery a 1-4% DPS increase instead.
That would have also avoided the fire by showing that it would be a slight DPS increase as well. As it is we basically just got a .5% nerf.
Unless there is more math under the hood I donāt understand? I wish we were clear about this.
Well, Thanks for the 2 weeks hunters were good, I guess 
Our core abilities do 25% less damage, seems like a nerf to me
