Damage, yes.


Casting speed slow? Only if the boss is suceptible to it in the first place (IOW no afaik)

I'm curious, after having played around on the PTR for some time and doing testing on the 10m of Uldar [Due to our guild not copying over.] I've been wondering what variation of the Survival spec is running highest, or if anyone has done the req testing to back up the claims.

On simulation craft the standard 6/14/51 spec no replenishment is running top.

Since FA will be transferring to pets....has anyone checked to see if the Draenei aura does as well?

I thought it always did...

You'd have thought wrong. That's why most raiding hunters aim for the 8% from gear, and skip that talent.

I raid with 231 Hit Rating, and am always grouped with a Draenei.
I never miss a shot, nor does my pet, unless said Draenei dies or decides not to stand where he should be.

The draenei aura you get does not apply to your pets hit, however the aura the pet itself gets does apply to his hit.

I haven't used it, but can we assume that Simulation Craft (like the spreadsheet) assumes a static fight?

I'm specced without Aimed Shot currently, but the amount of movement in Uldar fights apparently take may swing me to take Aimed Shot, at least while learning the fights.

Can other people who have managed to get on the test realm comment on this?

I think you can have best of both worlds Fimbo.

According to my maths 2/18/51 turns out top - I think a lot of people are forgetting to take aimed shot out of their rotation when they lose the talent.

Quite right.
I have that one 23 DPS over 0/15/56 and 30 above 2/15/54.

However I'm not certain I will lay my head on the block of manareturns just yet. Nor the loss of Replenishment. If you are not in an optimal situation the lack of Thrill and Replenishment will hurt. I think I prefer being stable no matter the situation, and the loss is pretty marginal overall for that safety.

As long as your pet has the buff from the draenei aura (ie. is in range) it will receive the hit.

FA will transfer after 3.1, and I am assuming that the draenei aura will not as the pet gets the aura anyway.

Removed.

My PTR bug report on Black Arrow got a reply ([BUG] Black Arrow). We'll have to watch the next couple of PTR patches to see how blizzard changes it though I suspect if blizzard fixes those bug, we will see a base damage reduction to the ability before it goes live.

There was also another issue reported where the 6% damage increase from Black Arrow was not applying to Explosive Shot ticks. It seems like BA was a bit of a rushed band-aid.

EDIT: removed irrelevant bits.

I could swear KJ was on the Sunwell PTR (briefly) - there were fairly accurate posts and a screenshot of the fight available before the instance hit live.

No, it never was.

Quite, when the planned Trap Launcher wasn't possible they had to do something. Dusting off an old beta ability was a logical and quick fix. In this case overall I consider it a rater good save, but I have called it out before, BA isn't balanced nor is it ready due to being Plan Z (it was apparently only just included before the PTR went up leaving no real internal testing). All we can hope for is them fixing it properly. And if that happens then I would consider BA to be a very good ability. Ok ok, it drives us towards a more Aff-like rotation, but even so I wouldn't consider it anywhere as bad. I don't mind it, but I guess I don't mind that other people might not like it too much.

hello,

i come from germany so i can`t post in the us blizzard forum.
i have found a bug with the pet talent "call of the wild".
the bug is on live realms and the ptrs too.

i reportet it several times with the ptr ingame bugtool
but i don`t know if the devs read the europe stuff...

if you are more then 20y away from your pet you get the buff from "cotw"
but you don`t get the ap bonus.
if you are near your pet everythink works fine.


please can someone this to the us forums so we know it get fixed with 3.1

thanks

Just tested at 35y. Buff appeared on Screen, no ap bonus though.

can also confirm that i am not getting the call of the wild bonus from my pet if im 30 yards away.
