Talkative wolf

[Boven]

I don't think I've seen anybody mention this yet, so I figured I'd ask if others are experiencing the same thing.

I logged onto my hunter for the first time since the patch. My wolf, Mu'sha (formerly The Lone Hunter), was out. While I was busy redoing my action bars and such, I noticed that the wolf would make that barky kind of sound that she usually does when sent in to attack something. Since I was at the shrine and near the target dummies, I thought maybe it was someone else's wolf I was hearing. However, when out and about town in Orgrimmar and when in the Blasted Lands, I realized it was, indeed, Mu'sha making the sounds because she's chain casting Furious Howl, even when not in combat.

Is this something anyone else has noticed?

Yep, same thing on my wolf.
Though I chose Deathmaw just because I like a vocal doggie

The buffs have been changed to be a permanent thing, aslong as the pet is active, like trueshot aura sort of.
So every time the wolf is summoned, you will gain the buff and thus hear the noise.
However dismounting a flying pet also "summons" the pet, making the noise again.
Also zoning seems to cause issues, sometimes spammingly so, wich is probably what you experienced as chain casting.

A worse spam I experienced was having kill shot activating (along with the on-screen proc text)
when I target a dead mob to loot it, and again when I target to skin it...Yeah 0 health is less than 20% but come on

I got the same thing when I killed a stag with my stag. Apparently my hunter had a grudge, or at least a grudge caused by her stags grudge, and could shoot the dead stag even more dead
