Pet HP Bug--Fixed in Pandaria?

[Acherontia]

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3686611808

As mentioned here

Q: Any plans to fix pet stats being too low for a few seconds after spawning?
A: We are fixing pets so stats won't lag several seconds after logging in or dismounting in 5.0.


Can anyone in the Beta confirm/deny this? I'm unbelievably effing fed up with this bug (and the myriad other stupid Blizz bugs that have been around for years...). Would like to know for sure if it's fixed. Can anyone test please? Haven't seen it mentioned.

Thanks!

even if it is not fixed right now in the beta (remember LOTS of things don't actually work in the beta as it stands right now), it doesn't mean it won't be fixed when the expac goes live. Or even in an update in the interim.

The bug has been around for years. My concern was that if it's not already fixed on the beta, that it simply won't be.

I have another thread about the bug itself on the General forums, so this one is a li'l redundant (it was more a request to the beta-testers, so a repost was appropriate I think)--but to repost my edit over there, supposedly the bug was deliberately introduced as a preventative to some exploit or other. This news pretty much infuriated me. That said, SUPPOSEDLY it's fixed in the beta.

I actually had more trouble with this particular issue on my Warlock than on any of my Hunters. I don't know why.

I couldn't replicate it on beta, but i could on live. it seems to be fixed on beta at the moment, but they havent done the pet pass yet so who knows what will get hosed again.

Tests:
1- I would get into combat and summon a pet, and on live it was at 6k hp for a second. on beta it was instantly 94k.

2- i also had a pet summon, got on flying mount (so pet would despawn) and then got in combat while on mount and dazed off. pet spawned full hp on beta. bugged on live.

3- even having pet out, mounting on flying, flying up so pet will despawn, landing and dismounting will bug it on live, but doesnt on beta.

4- with pet out, mount on flying and fly up so it despawns... then accept a queue for an LFD/LFR. when I zoned in on live, the pet was stuck at 6k for several seconds. I zoned out, landed, dismounted, and he was stuck at 6k for several seconds again. on beta, it took a second for pet to spawn once i zoned in, but once he did spawn he was full health. zoning out of the instance and landing, pet was full hp.

any other scenarios youd like me to test?
