We should be keeping the abilities of beasts we tame. I know it’s a nightmare to balance, but it’s the class fantasy.
Scorpid sting scaled way too much from hunter’s AP.
Instead of tuning it down they completely removed scaling from pet abilities, this includes wind serpents (I just tested it).
So its not worth using pets now?
I have exactly 2 pets. The cat we need to fight for a rune and a worg out of SFK that I will teach furious howl for my Melee hunter build.
I couldn’t care less if that is not optimal.

What are you even talking about dude? The pet damage and pet stats do not scale at all based on hunter attack power. You have no idea how the class even works.
I mean, that they are making the changes they are and effectively testing on live servers is kind of both worrying and gives hope. They can always just make more changes after getting some raid data!
Except they do in SOD?
Pet are still scaling from hunter’s stats btw, it’s just the abilities that don’t scale anymore.
Please enlight me.
Pets should be for some utility, not to do damage. If they do damage and have the range they do it just ruins the game. Speaking of range I don’t think any pet for any Class should be able to go beyond 40 yards of the character.
True, and I also think warriors should not be able to generate more than 40 rage total after combat starts.

That’s cool. So now hunters only scaling abilities are pet auto attack and auto shot. Amazing gameplay 11/10.
I love that aspect of the lion doesn’t buff the pet anymore, but it buffs other classes pets lol. I guess prot pallies can still give kings to alliance pets as well…I know this is an old game with like spaghetti code but some of these fixes are so bad.
What’s your point? I think we are in the same camp actually.
I want abilities to scale with hunter. Afk auto and pet auto is very boring yes.
Not sure why you bring up warriors. Also not sure who would even play one this phase unless you are a crazy and enjoy pain.
The real issue are things like Pets and how it ruins gameplay. That’s the discussion.
Aspect of the Lion actually nerfs the pet now! 11/10 game design blizz.
