Hunter Scorpion pet is still broken NERF NOW!

I ran up on an afk hunter in ashenvale with my warrior and his pet was on defensive and it killed me before I could kill the afk hunter. These pets are insane.

You guys are sending your pet on people and then pressing the auto run key away and soloing people with ease while the person on the other end is popping consumes and cool downs and fighting for their lives and they still lose so bad it’s embarrassing. These pets are like lvl 30 elites. Except they do even more damage and have more armor and crit.

But ok.

BM is not doing 800 damage burst that might be a aimed shot crit soo mm

I PvP everyday and have very good gear. I’ve never been able to kill a player like that and I was also fighting them from ranged. So I can’t help but feel like you guys are lying. I’ve been AFK before and killed while my scorpid was fighting and the pet did about 50% to them before I died. And that was before the nerf. Although I guess I wasn’t there to use kill command.

BM has talents to increase pets armor and crit but no hunters are not hitting for 800

These guys just want beastmaster removed lol. That’s all it is. I guarantee they will be crying about wind serpents tomorrow or whenever they finally cave and nerf the Scorpid AP scaling.

But it is bugged… I already explained why.
Wind serpents can’t do such dmg btw because lightning breath isn’t improperly scaling.

Idk how difficult it is to understand that a rank 1, lvl 8 ability that is supposed to do 10 dmg over 10s should not be doing 70 dmg ticks on 1 stack… Rank 2 lightning breath is doing less than that. Rank 3 (lvl 24) a little more but I doubt most hunters even know how to get that rank.

Improper scorpid poison already happened when RAP → spell power was introduced a while ago, breaking hunters in arenas…

Stop lying.

Bis bow 30 dmg
Chimera shot 85% weapon dmg + 40% St
ES 20-25 per tick (3 tick)
Arcane shot 33 dmg
Serpent Sting 80 dmg over 15 sec

Chimera shot and ES share the same slot, so cant be both selected and ES share coldown with arcane shot.

If you are gonna overexagerate to nerf something that you just dont like to fight against, try something more realistic dude.

Lightning breaths are hitting for 150. I can press one every few seconds with BM focus regen after pressing two at the beginning. They are very strong in pvp. Any ability is going to be good with the scaling and people are going to complain about it because they don’t like dying to pets. I don’t know if it’s improper on scorpids. They’re supposed to be scaling but I don’t know by how much. It’s definitely not supposed to just be five damage a tick, so people saying that are completely wrong, we have scaling now on pet abilities. I’ll leave that up to the devs to decide, but I’m worried they’re just going to nerf it out of the game and make our last usable glove rune worthless. Which means it’s over for hunters, we have nothing left. They already mentioned that it might be scaling just a little too much but they’re looking into it via Aggrend’s Twitter.

Every time you guys have begged for a fix right now it’s caused a massive nerf to render hunter runes effectively no longer usable.

Just stop lol, my lvl 25 BM hunter in mostly pre bis gear is hitting rank 3 lightning (that I’m sure 90% of hunters have no clue how to get) for 90 to 100 dmg on SW rats.

It’s likely getting 10 times the RAP lightning breath is getting, already showed some rapid math.

They need to fix it so it works properly and be multiplicative depending on how many stacks are applied. Then it will still do very good dmg at 5 stacks but not be completely busted at 1.

Then they need to give us rank 2 scorp poison and screech because those abilities are stuck at lvl 8 currently.

Does it ever not crit? It happened 3x in a row.

I meant with kill command.

yeah at 5 stacks its good

It sure didn’t look like ā€œRank 3 lightning breath can hit for 150 once every minute on targets that have no dmg mitigationā€

Reality is rank 3 breath with rune and talents is hitting for 50 to 75 in WSG.

It can crit 3x in a row just like players can

Even when aim shot doesnt crit, a regular hit is more damage than a crit fireball. a crit frostbolt is 150 damage…

And the critrate of these spells is a fraction of the time.

First time playing classic?

I don’t think I ever said anything about WSG, but okay.

Numbers aside, it’s going to cause people to complain. They don’t want BM to be good. Look through these threads and you will find people who say that Hunters do not deserve to do damage because BM is unskilled play.

Personally, I would like to not have to play it. I really want them to fix the other runes that are not useful or good enough to merit equipping.
