dear lord we might actually have a use for our pets in Wrath...

awsome changes

sux for pvp? the felpup got nerfed with paranoia being removed... oh well purely a pve person so meh w/e work =p

Dpartd · July 29, 2008, 02:02 AM

That is OP...I sense a nerf inc.

cookins06 · July 29, 2008, 02:10 AM

did they do this on kalagans day off? im over all happy with changes but the paranoia gone is sad.
- void looks alot better as pvp pet now but probably will still use fel hunter due to spell lock and devour magics.

Removing paranoia has no sense...damn it and also the resistances from the talent. So felhunter will be no longer so good in pvp. Voidwalker is getting some cool buffs

Bane also affects Haunt...im sure they will nerf it lol

The problem with the felpup's resists was that in Wrath of the Lich King most resist buffs are increasing to 125 or so - the 1 resist per level from 5/5 MD was falling behind the curve.

So he could give 1.5x per level instead of 1x

Those are some powerful changes ...

The Consume Shadows is clever ... makes sense that when the shadows are consumed rogues can't hide. The one that gets me the most however:

"Imp: Health increased 20%, Armor increased 16%, mana regeneration increased 200%."

The Imp's mana regen is insane right now. I can use Dark Pact every 10 seconds and keep my mana at full for a long time (in tank and spank fight).

Looks like Affl locks with a felpup will be in the dps group, and affl locks with an imp will be in the tanks group ... But altogether, I like these changes.
