GC Just responded to a question that has been popping up around the traps on a frequent occasion about how pets just don't seem to be taking hit's like they used to.
I was wondering if you could comment on the design intent for pets?
Currently, it seems all pets are missing avoidance and their armor value isn't enough to withstand incoming damage. Even with Mend Pet glyphed, you still have a lot of trouble healing through damage without using another ability (such as Spirit Mend) on your pet as well.
Pets lost a lot of armor coming into Mists. The new scaling system didn't make up for all of the base armor they had before. So, we are going to significantly buff pet armor across the board. Theorycrafters will want to reset the armor values of relevant pets when this fix goes live. As an example, hunter pets will go from 100% of master armor to 170%. Cloth wearers will get more and plate a little less.
This should make our soloing endeavors seem a lot more achievable, Hooray!

Im curious to know when though, but im sure that'll pop up at a later date once they have a chance to tackle it. Im sure they want to keep Mists on track.
And hopefully in the next client patch...or is that too much to hope? Maybe it can even be hotfixed!

Whew. Thank God! I was wondering why my pet was taking over 7k at a time in AQ20. Seemed a bit excessive. I thought it might've been intended. Guess I was (oh so thankfully) wrong.
Can someone help me explain to my fiance about what Blizz meant with this? "As an example, hunter pets will go from 100% of master armor to 170%. Cloth wearers will get more and plate a little less."
I can't seem to explain it properly. Maybe one of you can. XD
I'm guessing they're referring to mage/warlock/DK pets?

My Tenacity spirit beast has 34k+ armor now, where he had less than 20k before (something like 17k I'm thinking).
