    10% pet damage nerf intentional?

    Was wondering why i was seeing a loss in DPS the past few days and turns out @bendak and others uncovered an undocumented change to pet damage which saw a 10.7% damage nerf across the board - hitting BM the hardest.

    I am just curious if this was intentional, and if so... why..? This along with the Hati BC nerf really freakin' hurts


    The post for reference

    Been a thing since roughly release, I don't think Blizzard will answer you on whether it's intentional or not but this has been the working basis for all sims since release.

    Oh? Was under the impression this has been since the latest hotfix on live, as the beta servers aren't even showing this decrease.

    either way doesnt make much sense, MM is already the far superior spec, why would they nerf BM

    No, it isn't "far" superior. Both have situations where they shine. Which is good balance.

    I like how as little as a month ago you were pretty neutral and level headed on MM and BM, now you are straight up MM is the best, BM sucks.

    Don't consider high level mythic+ where BM does great meaningful content?

    well, one month ago legion wasn't out and they didnt nerf BM pets. On live I feel like MM is superior to everything but solo yolo questing and sustained aoe. Its just a little vexing that you as a hunter have to care for two artifacts, instead of maxing one.

    That must mean Hunters aren't viable. I am personally rerolling to Demon Hunters, since I see a lot of those in dungeons.

    There's one fight in the entire tier where BM is better than MM. Balance should be around raids.

    Not the irrelevant content called mythic +.
