WoW Petopia Community

Anyone else notice it?

Previously, pets had their own individual spec. So, for instance, my Crane was my tank pet, and my Nether Ray or my Serpent was my DPS pet.

Now? Pets SHARE their spec. If one pet is set to Tenacity? If you dismiss and summon a new pet? That pet will be tenacity regardless of what you dismissed it as. :/

I really dislike this. What do you guys think?

Yeah that and the fact my pet can't tank more than 2 mobs at once.

Ugh, are you serious? This seems like another one of those "streamlined" changes that actually just makes things frustrating.

"We changed this so newer players would stop wondering why they did less DPS after switching pets!"

well that just shts...I keep a pet on tenacity so I can quickly switch to a tank pet when I need one...Fck there's a few changes they made that I am pretty unhappy with.

I can see why you dislike it, though at least in this case it's a 5-second fix, but at first it'll be easy to forget to check the spec each time.

It's an accumulation of what I consider really poor judgement and attention from the class designers that is turning me off. My only other main character is an enhancement shaman and so far I'm disliking that too, but I'm giving it a couple of days. Beast Mastery is most definitely a lot worse. We're really lucky that tameable pets are being handled by enthusiastic designers in the world / area team (or whatever it's called!). I'd hate to think what we'd have to tame if it was just up to the class designers.

To be honest I'm about a week away from unsubbing for the first time since I started playing. I'm simply really not enjoying playing my characters at all, and it seems they've made class redesign a huge feature of the expansion. And it's not like these are first-week teething problems, which are to be expected... these are issues that have been ignored all the way back to Alpha.

is there a thread on the forums for this? I tried looking but didn't see anything, was wondering if anyone had seen one were we could voice our concerns at this...change.

Someone could make a post in the bug reports, and hope it's a bug, but I'm not going to, cause I'm assuming it's meant to be an intended change. If someone posts one though and links it, I'll gladly voice my opinion.

When I came across this after the patch I immediately submitted it as a bug through the in game tool. After I did some looking and found that it seems to be intentional. I'm all in favor of flooding them with bug/suggestion reports with all of the stupid in the new patch. Been SV forever on all my hunters (Five 100's and one level 90). I'm trying MM, but like Wain said, first time I've really considered unsubbing....

Bheleu

I... never actually noticed it was doing that, how irritating. Bad enough even as a tank my pet loses aggro and folds like paper when they're actually meant to tank as either that health bug is back or somehow they're going down in two seconds when before I barely needed to heal on the shatt rare with imps.

You do have to love Blizzard's love of fiddling and breaking everything.

I...I thought that was a bug. I made a bug report about it actually. I'm livid about the changes they've made. They're so shoddy, careless and downright rude. I will not give up my hunters, but I hate what Blizzard did them. It's atrocious.

Yeah I noticed it too and didn't like that at all. I like having it different for different pets. :/

BM is ugh....at least SV is fun.

It's almost as if... Blizzard is doing it on purpose!
As if they... WANT WoW to die.

Were I prone to conspiracy-thinking, I'd almost think this was Blizzard's way of dropping WoW so they can work on something updated.

You are not the only one who wondered that. Like a kid that's tired of doing dishes, so they break a plate so they don't have to wash any more.
