Loot From Pet Kills

Unread post by Kurasu »

So I decided to farm some bear leather. I accidentally forgot to turn off my 'defensive', and my pet happened to jump something.

I could loot it.

Wow. OK. Maybe that was an accident. Maybe I just attacked it and didn't realize. So I sent the pet after another enemy, making sure I didn't touch anything.

I could still loot it.

I'm not sure if this was an intended change or not, but I couldn't be happier. It suddenly increases my AOE against low level groups without the terror that my pet will accidentally kill something and give me no loot!

Awesome isn't it? It seems intended as its been like that right through beta. A really simple change that is a huge quality of play improvement, especially against low level mobs that go pop :)

That's a feature of 7.0, they brought it back for vanilla now if only they would bring back unique pet abilities....... :D :mrgreen:

My guess is that they had no choices to turn back the switch to on for loot-on-pet-kills with the revamp they did to Beast Mastery Hunters and Demonology Warlocks turning into beasts/demons dispensers. They must have seen the huge shit storm coming from players if they didn't do that. "That spec is worthless I can't loot anything because my pets/demons kill the mobs before I can touch them!" Glad it's back though, it was one thing I missed from vanilla.

This has just changed my choice of talents; I originally was specced into Dire Frenzy on my 'grinding character' because of not wanting to kill things by accident, but now I'm considering Stomp.

I noticed this, but I was sure it was an accident on their part, since it's actually an improvement. Heh. I always wondered what the pets did with their loot.
