yeah basically all the damage buff abilities for your character are now getting shared onto your pets. like haunt’s dmg boost on aff works on your pet as well

Was just comming here to mention this. I really want to play dogs with their lego, or at least have a choice.

IF this is intentional, this is pretty big for demo in pve

something tells me this is an unintentional byproduct of the update to the pet AI targeting fix. gotta be skeptical of something giving that much of a boost, especially to the red headed stepchild spec

either that, or it wasn’t functioning properly the whole time and they stealth fixed it and this guy caught it lol

I mean, it wasn’t.

The Warlock community justified it not working/applying because the tooltip says “the warlock’s spells” or whatever, and the Imp and Tyrant are not The Warlock™.

IMO it was always supposed to work lol

It may make demo the defacto m+ spec. Especially with the dogs leggo getting buffed to potentially useful levels

10

its been a talent since BFA that wouldve had to fly under the radar for nearly 4 years

11

Or they were aware of the bug and simply chose not to put in the effort to fix it.

e.g. Wrathguard/Shivarra dual wield

And now that warlocks require tuning, they realized its easier to fix this bug than to balance numbers.

i mean just because something has been around a while doesn’t mean its necessarily correct. i hope this is a true change, it would open up a lot of new build options

13

true and it is demo, they break it 3-4 times an expansion and in those windows it gets to be good lol

The eradication buff is going to effect infernal which will make it mandatory. The loss of extra backdraft will make rotations feel miserable.

16

It doesn’t affect infernal.

I/Kala said baseline T.T

Then it’s a completely worthless buff to a talent no body takes outside of pvp, and in pvp you want sac pet anyways. (for destro)

edit: bad buffs like this grind my gears because they screw us out of getting help later in an area we need.

19

im guessing the whitelist on all 3/4 of these spells got reset with some push and they need to re-do them

20

Yeah, this kinda just seems like an oopsie to me.
