the pets trying to get behind target i am guessing depends on the pet used as my level 12 boar seems to only do a half hearted lets get behind target once i have charged them effect , it does not slow the attack in any way that i can see , and appears to look perfectly normal in the way it works , so far i would say it makes little difference in a hunters pet attacking

i do belive “Pets will try to get behind their targets when engaging in melee” is the first attack only

In regards to the pet trying to get behind their target, I would have to assume that if the pet was the target’s target, the pet would know it would be impossible to get behind the target, and wouldn’t try. What i’m worried about is the pet getting behind targets with rear attacks like dragons. I hope pets are smart enough not to get behind Nightbane.

With your 2.3 Patch note thing, “Pets will try to get behind their targets when engaging in melee”, that will very interesting. I’m very curious about that. I can’t wait.

[...] of the more surprising lines in the PTR 2.3.0 patch notes was this one: Pets will try to get behind their targets when engaging in melee [...]

Corwyn –

That’s probably what that means, when warlocks sacrifice their pets. Might also refer to when you kill your pet while mind-controlled (as I’ve done more than once thanks to that frelling ogre in Shadow Lab).

On Kill Effects: Items and abilities that trigger on killing an enemy will no longer trigger on using an ability that kills your pet.

I keep seeing this, but what does it mean? I never use abilities that kill my pet. Is this for warlocks?

Thank you kindly,

Corwyn

Thanks, Corbenn! I added that to the list of other cool stuff on the PTR.

There’s also a new pet snack recipe, available as a reward from the daily cooking quests. Uses Buzzard Meat and gives +20 str and +20 spi for 30 minutes.

Woo.. so if I have 2000 attack power (and for me, its more like 1400) my serpent sting will do a whopping 200 more damage..

The increase is miniscule enough to almost be comical. The same applies to the traps too. I was hoping for an increase by 20-25% of attack power.

I do look forward to leveling my alts faster though.
