Oh, and, when I tamed a beetle I noticed Roar of Recovery has changed to 30 focus generated over 10 seconds, as opposed to the mana restoration it was before :)

The wild hunt change is actually a really good one. It works really well in conjunction with Focus Fire, which regenerates 50 focus at five stacks. You work to keep your pet at or above 50 focus as much as possible. ALso, the basic attacks have a cooldown now as well.

This makes sense. I know we speculated about it before, but it's free extra focus without having to do anything. I hope that this change is as good in effect as it hopefully seems on paper. <3 the Wild Hunt change.

Sweetness, especially if you take all of the talents that help recharge pet Focus.

The only downside is that at 2 points it brings the cost of the Basic Attack up to fifty focus, meaning you can get off two of them before you are under. But it's still a big boost.

50% of 25 is 12.5, so they'll cost 37.5 Focus. Still get two or so uses, but it'll still be pretty easy to get it back up

Two points in it will bump it up to 100% additional cost, so Palladiamorsdeus was right in saying they'll cost 50 focus :)

It's all exponentiation! My favorite kind of math!

This just seems like a redub of the warrior rage kill ability to keep over focus'd pets working smoothly. But, I like it.

They had to do it! Our pets no longer have focus dump abilities; those are their dps abilities now. :)

Blech, hate math. But I still support this change :)
