Dumb people like being overpowered/broken at others’ expense.
Nah they’ll cry a river if any balancing is done, just like they did with ES which was obviously broken.
I like how you’re still saying this, completely ignoring that the complaints were centered around changing the ability’s use and making it the worst rune in the game.
You just hate hunters.
Lesson learnt. Kill the pet or fear it. Sounds like you panicked and focused on the wrong target. You had the hunter contained. Target the pet.
A BM without the pet is useless.
I didn’t panic. I just I assumed that me and my Warlock pet would be able to kill a Hunter who didn’t shoot me one single time before his pet solo’d me.
Seems like its pretty broken.
The above is you focusing on the hunter only. Next time you know what to focus on.
Sure, if you never trained any of your other abilities. This is such a weak argument to make. A better argument would be that your other abilities should be balanced and improved so you don’t have to rely on a braindead way of playing.
My suggestion for a fix is to make the first application of the scorpid poison do a regular tick of damage, and every other tick to be like 10%. So you can still use it for the utility of keeping someone like a rogue from stealthing. You still get decent damage from the initial attack. It would have something interesting in that if you keep dispelling it you will take more damage than if you leave it.
And of course pets need to take more damage right now. Or have fewer HP. It shouldn’t take an entire group to kill one.
The only thing they need to change is the damage formula of scorpid poison.
Currently the first stack scales ridiculously with spellpower and each subsequent stack adds only base dmg.
Stacks should be multiplicative with stack 1 doing low damage and stack 5 should do 5x stack 1.
SoD is doomed, they should just end it now. The crybabies are going to get every class destroyed to pointlessness over level 25 balance and the later phases will never revert it, Blizzard is allergic to buffs.

Obviously you want to kill the Pet Raid boss. However how many pulls does it take. Any smart hunter will recall the Pet. Then there is the enrage phase when the pet comes back and usually you die or run out of mana.
Usually you are running for your life as the Pet solo’s you. Honestly rather have a Rogue or Feral on me they are killable.
Not to mention any Healer will heal the Pet or worse yet there are multiple Pets. That’s a heavy Boss mechanic fight right there.
Beginner class too strong. Continue nerfs until beginner class damage output matches beginner class input requirements.
Just seen, incoming 60% nerf to Scorpio poison 
Where’d you see that?
those scorps mean business lol. They slap!
Nice, can’t wait to see the explosion of the handicapped class get upset that afking doesn’t win them battlegrounds anymore.
THIS. I have a loaded hunt on sod and i almost quit when they gutted explo and chim. I’ve tested every possible pvp build to min-max. The only viable build is pet build and if you go mele hunt, explo, chim MM etc its about 25% of a BM hunts dmg in pvp and cost 75% more mana (ability usage) I think the pet build is very strong but on-par with almost every class in 1v1 situation (i’ve tested this into every class’s pvp build) but if they gut pet build then hunter will be 100% unplayable. They need to BUFF hunter and nerf pet. But they also need to nerf paladins dmg and avenger shield, nerf rogue dagger builds, lock tanks, etc SOD is a huge flop and needs a lot of tuning

Can confirm. Hunter scorpid pets are insane still. They can take you to 1/2 health with 2 hits.
This can not continue like this. The scaling is absurd. The scorpions they are using also have more health and armor than tanks do.
I think you can actually tank better with a hunter pet than an actual tank if they had a shorter GCD on taunt.
It was a 1v1 with the warlock having the jump on the hunter. If a BM hunter recalls his pet that is 50 percent of his damage gone till he tells it ti attack again.
Fear the pet. Dot it up and keep in melee range of the hunter. Op had half tthe job done he just needed to focus on the pet.
Did around 30 wsg yesterday and at the beginning I would get a few kill but after 2 or 3 wsg my pet got killed everytime or feared,sheep, rooted and hibernate by druid so ya the Scorpio is indeed strong but you can easily cc it or kill it.
Last night made a Hunter Petbroken. There were so many Hunters leveling as I said which would ruin gameplay. They have so many tools I’m not sure why they need this broken pet. We shall see if what you say is true. This won’t fix the problem but it’s a start.
You are forgetting something. A hunters pet does more than 100% of the damage of other Classes. It’s a Raid boss as explained.
I love that you think you are getting Fear off before dying.
The only way this can happen is if you got a pocket healer and support. Taking on a Hunter Raid Pet Boss requires a team.
If a Hunter pet is on you and you don’t have strong heals on you with your healing you are dead in about 7 secs.
If you are 1v1 you can’t focus the pet cause you can’t kill it before the overwhelming damage kills you. You forget that Huners are doing unhealable damage. It’s not like you can cast and it’s a free kill. You will run out of mana before you kill the Raid boss pet.
