Nerfing hunters for shits and giggles

[Dog]

So any word from anyone of the staff about this ? Cats doing barely 50 dps?

We're currently making a fix for this, and it should probably be available for the next update.

Instead of (or in addition to) bitching a complaining a whole bunch, why doesn't the OP and everyone else complaining in this thread try to help the staff correct the problem by collecting evidence of retail pet damage at various levels?

I mean, it would be awesome if programming consisted of 3 buttons "Buff" "Nerf" and "Blizzlike" but it's just not that easy

LOL at all the people saying pet damage is like retail then GM comes in and says they're fixing it.

Of course the damage is too low, you can tell by playing 5 minutes and having your pet not grabbing aggro for shit and not even being able to 1v1 on level mobs with BM spec

I feel like my pet is doing close damage to retail, but sometimes my pet hits for 1 damage with his spells. Im level 51 and my pet has rank 6 spells(cant be bothered to get rank 7) and this doesnt seem normal. Is that one of the fixes Life?

To be fair, there was an equivalent number of people saying pre-fix pet damage was completely Blizzlike. The difference is that post-fix damage is far closer to what it's supposed to be. It's maybe 15% too low pre-level 50, as opposed to being 200% above what it should be, yet to a significant number of people on this forum, that was "Blizzlike". Although there's probably a reason why people who thought it was normal that a pet alone should do more DPS than a player chose Hunter in the first place.

I agree that the values were too high before the patch, even as a hunter xD I specced MM so it was insane when a hordie set his raptor on me as a BM spec. It was pure terror. I'm glad they're working to seting things right. As long as my pet's growl can keep aggro when I only autoshot and serpent sting then I'll be happy.
