It doesn’t to me either. Obviously they’re just copying the route they took MM hunters down in SoD in terms of the lone wolf no pet build being bis DPS (technically mostly a survival build - but you’re shooting at range with a bow) without really thinking about any of the secondary/tertiary effects. Then slapped a bandaid on it to appease the angry masses, again without thinking it through fully
Does your pet have to be out for the imp spotters buff not to apply? Like, can I get my burst window at max effectiveness, then call my pet back out inbetween trueshots? That was kind of a tech in SoD, but the lone wolf rune was dependant on whether your pet was active or not, it didn’t take away the ability to call one out. Does taking lone wolf just mean you can’t call your pet at all? I didn’t really test it fully when I was last on the ptr
