space-goat hunter hit cap problem

Unread post by Slickrock »

For all your Draenei, there's a problem currently on beta for you. According to EJ and other sources, currently pets are not getting your 1% hit bonus. If that doesn't get fixed, then there's no good reason for a hunter to stay a space-goat as far as racial bonuses go, since you'll need to get to 8% hit without your bonus so your pet gets it too.

Yeah, the +hit rating was just a random perk I wasn't even paying attention to when I made my draenei toons... I love the look and feel of the race.

That being said, of course Blizz will fix it. It might only be in a later patch, but clearly it's a bug and as such it'll be fixed.

This for me as well, heh. I love those space goats and their accents. *hoping for maybe a german accent in the future*

Tho I think the healing racial has been toned down a bit (seems that way to me anyways, but then again, it could just seem like that cause of the larger number of HP I have now*

As for the hit...yeah, I almost never noticed it. It was just an extra icon in my spellbook for me.

And if they don't fix it, then our blue brothers and sisters jsut have to remember to leave that much more hit on their gear.

Well it's a racial, so that's why I'm convinced they'll fix it. Otherwise it's pointless for any pet class (I'm assuming DKs and mages also need to hit cap their pets?) and I'm fairly certain the forums would be flooded with QQ. ;)

I just imagine it's low on the list until hit rating really matters again at Cata end-game.

I know it doesn't apply to groups/raids anymore. It's been toned down to just a personal buff; which is great because it gave Alliance an unfair advantage over Horde.

Not to mention is was annoying as hell to juggle a raid if you didn't have a lot of draenei (it wasn't raid wide, just group). There were always at least 10 people counting on the buff. :| Lazy bums! :lol:

But the point is it's a wasted racial, at least if you are raiding, since you'll need to gem for that extra hit.

Hopefully they will fix it, or replace it.

*snorts quietly* Do not get me started on horde racials. :P

Let's just say "I disagree" and leave it at that.

It's only a wasted racial on Draenei hunters. The other Draenei classes do not have pets and are therefore unaffected by it. That said, I expect it will be fixed.

Well, this is a hunter site. ;)

I originally posted this mainly to make everyone aware of the problem, so they can adjust accordingly.

Yep! ;)

I'm just saying that it's not a completely wasted racial. Just to us. :(

Oh right, them too.

My bad; not many draenei with pets of either class on my server. ;)

Aww man, I sure hope they do fix it. For the sake my only current alliance hunter. I think among the alliance races, the draenei are best at being hunters because of these two racials.

Only Frost and Unholy, and I don't see too much of either :(

I see tons of unholy DKs in my battlegroup. Frost mages I see more at lower levels, but they're definitely around. Now, were they all draenei? I don't remember, honestly. But across all realms, this is still a significant amount of the player base.

Shamans are also affected by this, at least an enhancement shaman's Feral Spirits, and im fairly sure their totems and "totem pets" (Fire & Earth Elemental), too.
