Welp. Later, Arcturus.

"I have confirmed with the developers that Boar's growl ability getting such a large bonus to attack power based on charge is a bug. Growl should only benefit from the hunter's attack power and get no benefit from buffs to the pet's attack power.

Expect this to be changed in a future patch. If you disagree with this change please post about it in the suggestions or class forums.

So basically now, the number of useful pet families has dwindled from four (Ravager/Owl/Boar/Scorpid) to three. Hooray!

This on top of the whole "oh you take 50% more XP to hit 71 meaning pet loyalty is 50% harder to get at 70 lolol" changes make me want to give Blizzard one thing: a middle finger ASCII.

Ugh.

Yeah, Blizz needs to start praying that Age of Conan doesn't appeal to my intrests and style after it launches, else I'm tossing in the towle.

I have begun to switch back to console gaming. I picked up COD4 over the weekend and set up an XBL account. My days of WoW are numbered...

I can't access the link for some reason but this is still a retarded change.

Pet aggro makes it too difficult to fight solo. I might as well be a Rogue or Warrior with all the melee I do.
