"Master of Beasts" Adjustment?

Unread post by SpiritBinder »

Does anyone else remember this data mined spell change back in mid May?
Master of Beasts now increases damage done by pets by 13.4%, down from 13.6%. Each point increases pet damage by 1.67%, down from 1.7%.


Did this actually get implemented in the end? And I'm still curious, if it did, to what end. It really was such a small adjustment, that it almost seems unnecessary, even more so considering BM is not really all that over powered at the moment anyway...

I know when it 1st popped up there was talk that it could be likely an adjustment made, due to a possible upcoming scaling issue within areas of BM's tree, or even a change somewhere else. Especially considering that for BM, mastery is not all that much of a favored stat (coming from a pve perspective).

I think it might have turned out to be a datamined tooltip adjustment, like the wild quiver change is just a tooltip adjustment/correction. No matter what the developers might be thinking, there's really no good reason to nerf a much-maligned "underperforming" spec anyway.
