Noticing this on my imp as well. Didn’t see anything documented as of yet.
I’m only seeing about a 10 damage difference between world buffed LB’s and no world buff.
Definitely a stealth nerf, but it’s fine. Took maybe 15-20 damage off the top, not a big deal. Its like 2-3 dps. The change makes cats and wind serpents basically identical at all times vs having to run WS when you have the world buff.
The hysterical part is there are still new posts showing up crying about how OP wind serpents are lol
The biggest problem with this is the long-term repercussions in phase two about how bad wind serpents are going to be with reduced scaling, especially considering that the base damage is going to be identical since we don’t get rank 4 LB until 41. We’re fine now, but in p2, WS is not going to be competitive at all.

I just got boon on a my level 15 hunters pet .
Maybe only impacts at level 25?
Gives very little boost even at 25. Hopefully it’s a change to the BFD buff specifically.
Great PVP fix… those hunter pets getting the buff every WSG is so toxic.

Dumbest business model ever… not even a hunter main, just dumb to nerf something and NOT tell the consumer that you doing so.

I never said they wouldnt nerf them again, i just said it wont be this phase.
They will for sure do a balance sweep at 40 of all the specs.

Don’t forget the 3% chance to hit with spells and the +25 spell power though, which probably were applying to Wind Serpent breaths. It was a lot of double dipping going on lol.

I mean, its better than more blue notes which gut them even further.
Its a fair change IMO
What if it was never intended? They dont need to tell you anything.
Not really, the Wind Serpent isn’t gaining any noticeable benefit from the buff now that it’s on the hunter only now, which makes it pretty obvious that it wasn’t double dipping.
If it was double dipping, the serpent would still be seeing some sort of benefit from the spellpower at the very least, but we’re seeing less than 10 damage being gained from the buff now.
It went from gaining something to gaining nothing. Where is the second portion from your supposed “double dipping”? Because that second half of the “double dipped” damage portion should still be there, but unless you’re telling me that a mostly unnoticeable ~5-10 damage is what’s left of the half of what was taken, I’m calling BS lol
It was closer to a 35-40 damage difference.
It’s a good change, 25 spellpower was way too powerful when applied to wind serp, it was like getting a second set of gear. Classes shouldn’t be balanced around WBs and I’m glad they went that direction rather than another nerf to a rune.
Now that LB can’t reach 200 dmg we will hopefully see less crying.
Edit: ah you mean it’s adding 10 dmg now? It’s still very good yeha, my bad I should read whole posts.
You dont understand, if hunters were EVER competing for top dps with warriors and rogues in vanilla for even a SECOND, the entire game is busted and its gg blizz. People will always hate hunter because its “the npc class” …
more and more nerfs will come and when later phases roll around hunter will fall to the bottom and warriors and rogues remain on top and vanilla will be like it was for 20 years

Something that was announced and that is half of what the forums are asking for…is stealth. I don’t even play SoD and hunter pet nerf is the opposite of stealth or surprising.
