Eyes of the Beast has been a very problematic skill these last two days. The main issue is that sometimes I get disconnected while refreshing it. This is extremely unfair to hunters because when it happens, my pet is sent back to where I am instead of wherever I’m solo killing raid geared level 25’s with it. I only was able to manage 100 HKs in my three hours of casual play today because Eyes of the Beast kept disconnecting me.
After all these nerfs to hunters, I find it very unfair to us that you are not fixing our game-breaking class bugs that interfere with my ability to kill anyone questing anywhere in Hillsbrad with impunity from the safety of Southshore behind level 55 guards. Having to press the reconnect button and run my 155% movespeed pet all the way back to questing hotspots wastes my time.
Please consider fixing us hunters. We just want a little bit of reprieve from all these nerfs that have completely shut down our ability to solo everything we see and limit us to only being able to solo most of what we see.

So you’re averaging a kill every minute and 48 seconds? I find that number hard to believe.
155% movespeed pet
Man how did you get access to Dash/Dive already? Since there’s no other possible way you would be able to get your pet to 155% movement speed currently.
Ignoring how powerful hunter pets are, this is actually a really bizarre issue that’s been plaguing classic for apparently years without a fix:
It can also cause weird issues when you reconnect that look odd to other players:
I think I noticed this once when playing around with on my hunter (5th 25). After reconnecting I jumped off a tower I was on and after running a ways everyone vanished and I thought I was lagging. I re-cast eyes of the beast since my pet wasn’t following me and surprisingly, my pet was still in the tower… next to me! I cancelled it and was back in the tower.
Eyes of the Beast also bugs out the pet bar so you can’t see which skills are set to auto-cast after using it for some time or until you reload your UI.
Pets move faster than the normal base and then get a 30% buff outdoors. He keeps up with people who use swiftness potions, but I still think he’s a little too slow and pet movement speed could probably use an extra bump.
It was probably more than 1 every 48s while I was there. 2 pets can 1 round someone with full focus bars.
Pet movespeed is 114%
1.14*1.3=148.2
Please forgive the hyperbole but let us focus on the real issue here, the disconnects. This issue needs to be fixed. Having to log back in from a disconnect after getting 4-5 risk-free effortless pvp kills inside Tarren Mill needs to be addressed asap. It’s a big inconvenience to my gameplay and fun.
