since 8.1 I’m constantly pulling threat from my VW… why would you stealth nerf it?

I noticed that a few minutes ago leveling my lock in Drustvar. Kind of strange that something meant for tanking doesn’t do it’s job all that well anymore

We are the least played pure dps class. They have to kick us while we’re down.

So, now not only was it already squishy as hell. The poor thing can’t even hold threat properly, can someone explain to me why the VW is even considered a tanking pet?

Good thing I got my Heritage armor before this nonsense.

An RPG should reward people who do stuff like this, not punish them.

Yeah it’s really bad, it doesn’t hold aggro yet keeps pulling extra mobs with it’s taunt, really useless.

or maybe watch your threat?
i agree my blueberry has been slacking however i just assumed it was because i was doing too much damage.
either way he seems fine to me but i do not do much outside of world things i gave up on dungeons/raids because i just do not enjoy them the rushrush mentality and all

So that’s why I was able to hold threat off a blueberry…

my guild has like, 7 active lock players, between mains or being alts that they use often enough to be a second main.

i remember asking them how to level mine. they told me summon voidwalker may as well be part of the rotation instead of health funnel.

youd think by now blizz would be able to make pets decent for classes that rely on them

all pet are standardized now all hunter pets do the same damage, pretty soon all dps will do the same damage then all classes will do the same damage. The “good idea fairy” strikes again. All to cut cost and streamline the game. if it’s all equal then there no need to pay someone to fix. Pretty soon the whole game will be one guy with and excel spread sheet that control everything.

Wait, you have the dark eyes option as a DK. Hmmm…

Yes.

DH gets it too, but you can only see them with certain headgear.

And so the devs continue to make incremental changes to reach their goal of zero threat at all times by the end of BfA.

They’re laughing at us over the espresso machine every day.

i only use my blueberry if i’m not playing demo as i’m always using my felguard. i’ll have to check this out later. if so this is total bs and they need to fix it.

The main problem is a channeled heal, hunters mend pet used to be channeled too forever ago. Lock pets both take longer to summon and cost a soul shard, their pet healing should not be channeled either.

Hunter pets are not particularly tanky this expansion either, even at 370 ilvl I have to use mend pet a lot.

But my lock? Forget it, having to sit channeling and doing little to no dmg instead of summoning a new one? Pfft.
