These are the changes that were supposedly meant to be applied the 4th of May. but when you compare the numbers between the PTR and LIVE version of the game, it appears some of the damage tuning is either wrong, not applied or requires some clarification.
First of all, Raptor Strike, and Mongoose Bite (Talent) damage tuning appears to be correctly applied.
There are currently two issues regarding the other noted buffs however.
-
Kill Command damage appears to be Completely unchanged and currently deals the same damage on PTR servers, as it does on Live servers.
Both the tooltip and the actual damage dealt are identical across both game versions. -
Flanking Strike (Talent) Damage appears to be incorrectly applied
Currently, the damage tuning of Flanking Strike only affects the damage portion that comes directly from your pet, and does NOT apply to the damage portion of the ability that comes from the Hunter.
This is somewhat reflected in the tooltip, as the Tooltip difference between both versions of the game is only ~6.57%, which is quite a difference from the noted 15%.
I would love to see the Kill Command damage buff to be actually applied, as stated in the patch notes. as this otherwise creates an unnecessary, wider damage gap between between two of the more popular PvE/raid Damage builds.
I would also love to see the Flanking Strike damage buff to be corrected, and for the buff to include the hunters portion of the dealt damage as the patch notes seem to imply, or at least clarified whether it is intended that only the pet is meant to benefit from this damage buff.
