To anyone and everyone who doesn’t know this “working as intended mechanic”, yes! Zekvir WILL one shot Pets out of nowhere with melee swings even if Taunt is turned off.
Since BM Hunters majority of the damage (over 80%) comes from Pets, they obviously “generate” threat even when taunt is turned off since damage = threat. Hence the suggestion of not only to have him “ignore/immune” to any threat generated by Pet damage but ALSO ignore the taunt as well.
Taunt ignore reason being some/many/a lot of people who don’t play a Pet spec are assuming having a Pet means “we can easily ignore fight mechanics, stand at far distance and make this fight target dummy.” No one wants THAT dumb version of the fight, we just want to make sure he is NOT one shotting Pets.
For example, imagine if he puts a “silence” affect on Caster DPS/Healers every few seconds and ONLY way to remove that would be to stand still for at least three secs straight, if you move a step, you stay silenced… Yup, that’s pretty much how it goes, he kills the Pet then we need to spend at least three secs to rez and few secs later Pet is dead again. Regardless of taunt being off AND defensive CDs used.
This is outright trolling, nothing else.
