Yep, this has been reported.

The funny part is that it really does only do 1 damage. 2 if it crits!

I am curious how it works. Does it burrow underground? If so, when it's underground, is it still targettable?

Right now, the worm sits in place when it starts channeling the ability and the ground rumbles around it (much like the ground-breaking effects on the last boss of AN). It doesn't actually submerge.

So far from testing it, the skill is really bugged. The 30 seconds cooldown never applies, and only the jormungar worms have the diving animations. And going from both wowhead and MMO Champion's database, while the worm is doing the move it's supposed to apply a stun aura on the mobs. I see the debuff but they're not stunned, and they continue to attack the worm. Some larger mobs also bug out and get dragged underground with the worm if you use the jormungar model.

ROTFL That's funny that they get dragged underground.

Now if they could just follow that up with a shower of reddish chunks erupting from the spot where the mob disappeared...

So I assume that rustling dirt is targettable for the worm?

Oh, and for those curious as to what the non-fuzzy worms do:
It's a little goofy.

Frostheim of WHU pointed out that MM and Survival both get a boosted Multishot, which is now our only AoE, and BM were at a disadvantage for AoE packs etc. The chimera and worm exotic abilites will presumably address that weakness for BM hunters (and also give them a point blank AoE that the other two specs won't have).

I BET IT CAN PULL ROGUES OUT TOO!
...That's kinda nifty, actually. Worms may become handy duelling pets, since they don't need a target for their AoE.

As for Burrow Attack (Worm Exotic Ability)
The Worm burrows into the earth, shaking the ground above dealing (?) Nature damage over 8 sec.
30 focus cost, 30sec cooldown, instant, 30 yards range
Froststorm Breath (Chimaera)
The Chimera channels a frozen breath attack, causing 2645 Spellstorm damage over 10 sec to to all enemies within the area.
20 focus cost, Channeled, 35 yards range
Is this something the Bliz is giveing to BM hunters to help in with aoe capabilties?
SV - Serpent Spread
MM - Rapid Killing + Bombardment
BM - AOE Extioc PETS?

Indeed, SB; we have so many redundant threads right now, sigh.
The funny thing about TIM's repost is that even when we still had volley, BM hunters didn't get a buff to that either. Surv could technically trapdance, but that ended up not being worth it.
