Pets still Hilariously Overtuned

Gotta CC the scorp first and foremost in any fight against a hunter. I always start with a Hibernate.

But yeah hopefully they nerf it soon.

I got 1v1 by an afk hunters pet. I am near bis warrior.

Yep. How this is not hotfixed overnight makes zero sense.

Already? really.

To be fair, Iā€™m not that big of a warcraft logs parser - pretty abysmally average really, but I think Iā€™d like to make an effort going forward.

Taking a look at the logs, it does seem like some of the speed runs are stacking warriors, and some of the highest parsers are warriors, while there is maybe 1 hunter in these types of groups, and itā€™s typically not the number 1 dps in them.

The poisons their scorpid applied dont disappear though

Iirc that only removes one stack of the stacking poison, and gg if it instead removes the serpentā€™s sting from the hunter instead

ā€œDispels all poison effects on you, or your targetā€

Thats not what the tooltip says, and not my experience in game. All i can see is some comment from 2019, which is behind others saying that the item was bugged and removing stuff it shouldnt be, and then later on saying it was fixed

Test it out?

:woman_shrugging:

I plan to, cause I have a stack of antivenom on both my characters, which is why Iā€™m quite suspect of it removing all poisons, because as I said, that hasnt been my experience

Yeah same. I havenā€™t had a chance to yet tho. Lemme know what you find out!

Considering Hunters are obligated to run lions, and have their rotation basically be serpent sting and bestial rath or they run straight out of mana. That pet better pump or they are just a standing group buff.

hunter pets have ALWAYS been OP in this level bracket. This is temporary. Calm down.

1 hunter for lion stat stick

Itā€™s doing 3 times too much damage so yea it should be significantly nerfed before people just quit.

Then address them at the same time. Itā€™s time to fix Pet design for good.

Lol Iā€™m leveling a Hunter right now because theyā€™re one of the few that can beat a Paladin in a 1v1.

Playing my Priest, Iā€™m so tired of Paladins killing me. Immune to my Psychic Scream because they have a Dwarf Priestā€™s Fear Ward on them, Iā€™ve got no defenses.

They are extremely susceptible to being kited.

Gotta get in on the fun, get my revenge.

I agree everyone make a hunter and abuse them so they are fixed. Game wonā€™t be playable for other Classes as everyone starts playing Hunter for broken pets.

What should? And why?

I see that youā€™re saying that Scorpid Poison does too much damage. I understand this part. Iā€™m curious in what context. Is this in PVP or PVE or both, and what are the consequences of this?

i.e. so what?

Itā€™s both. In a Raid the hunter pet out damaged both locks and most other Dps. In PvP hunter Pets are broken Raid bosses. 1 Pet can easily solo most Classes not to mention if 2 are on you midaswell just Alt F4.

Games becoming unplayable. People will stop logging in is what. Pets should be about utility and buffs for the Hunter/Raid. This is how we fix them just so itā€™s clear that Iā€™m providing a solution as well.

Pets shouldnā€™t be one of the Top Dps in all content. Thatā€™s broken. Pets really shouldnā€™t be doing damage comparable to any Class. It should be a fraction of that.

Itā€™s been since launch itā€™s been like this. Time is running out.
