Hello everyone.
It's been a while! (my last activity here was 2014, yikes!)
I've had a long hiatus from WoW, about 3 years. But I'm just now returning back....And there has been some changes.
I haven't kept up with patch notes or anything while I was away (I never intend to return, yet I always do).
And now I've noticed some oddities with my pets, that I'm fairly certain was not like this last time I played.
However I have failed to find any information about these issues, but maybe my google-fu is weak. Maybe you guys can clear up if these are known/unkown bugs or intended changes.
1. My pet seems to "forget" that growl was on auto-cast when dismissed.
Whenever I summon a pet, growl is no longer on auto-cast. Other skills remain with the glittery border, but not growl?
2. Pet A.I. Has always been a bit wonky, especially with pathfinding as I recall.
But, my wolf never casts Furious bite when it's on auto-cast...Or maybe he's smarter than me and knows the target dummy isn't going to run anywhere.
I have yet to muster a proper field test, but I will try some things tonight after work.
3. I took note that when in my marksman spec, and with NO pet summoned...I still have access to the tenacity family skill "Fortitude of the bear"
I can cast it all on my lonesome self if I want, when I have a cunning or ferocity pet out, the skill gets replaced with the appropriate one. And it goes back to the tenacity one when dismissed.
Is this truly intended?
Seems bug:ish to me, and it devalues having a tenacity pet a little imho.
Thanks for your time!
