Blizzard, give hunters pets LASTING WORLD BUFFS

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

Disclaimer: this might not even be a change and simply be a bug fix. We just could not find 1.12 vanilla evidence for it.

Right now, buffs on pet continue ticking when pet is dismissed or when you log off (it doesn’t for buffs on you, obviously)
BUT debuffs do linger. If your pet get sheeped or feared and that you log off or dismiss pet, it will still have debuff when you summon it again or log back on.
It seems weird to me that buff and debuff work in a different way, but ofc, this is not a hard proof.

Now, I could not find specific evidence regarding buffs on pets in vanilla (confirming or denying it). I could only find talks about DEBUFFS on pets. Having world buffs on pet on a not-so-great-pve-class in vanilla wasnt something people paid attention to I guess :slight_smile:

The problem: : this behaviour prevents absolute minmaxing for hunters in pve.

The solution: similarily to how debuffs work, make BUFFS timer pause when pet is dismissed/character is logged off.

this would:
-Give way more viability to mm/bm spec for pve.
-Would give minmaxer even more content
-Would make pet control more important (getting your pet to survived is not easy on some bosses)

Blizzard already gave hunters a small boost with world buff AP now applying to ranged AP aswell. This would go in the same direction.
Alternatively, it could just be a bug fix - if blizzard could atleast confirm it, It would be really appreciated

peace

No it does not. Minmaxing is about getting the most possible out of your character. If something isn’t possible it just means that the maximum is lower.

if this is actually a bug, I mean

As a hunter said when they announced that attackpower would also benefit them in p6. “Bah, now i have to get those too…”

Dont add more work for the hunter managing the pet even more carefully. And if pet then dies you have to feel bad about that too. Atleast its the same for everyone, so it doesnt really matter.

Ye but you get world buffs anyways, dont you? at least for naxx:p

Anyhow, I’m interested in knowing if it is actually a bug or not. Just out of curiosity

just butting in to say this is the same for warlock pets… the buffs keep ticking even while offline.

any chance on an answer, blizzard?

should pet’s buffs linger or not?

Yours, like many other requests, are falling on deaf ears. Let it go.
