Well Blizzard released an update over on the PTR today (Build 9704).
Some of the highlights of this build is the release of the T8 Armor Set Bonuses. (link)
- 2Piece Bonus — Increases the damage done by your Serpent Sting by 10%.
- 4Piece Bonus — Your Steady Shot has a chance to grant you 600 attack power for 15 sec.
It has been confirmed and reported by Evias, our resident PTR Tester over on the Lodge Forums. (link)
I’m running the test as we speak with my wolf.
Pets are now following their master when jumping from ledges instead of pathing the long way around.
Didn’t see it anywhere in the notes or mentioned elsewhere, but this is awesome. – EviasAlso, I have an important announcement to make:
But that’s not even the best new. I mean that all SWEETSAUCE and all, but not the entire thing here the REALLY big news.
Focused Aim testing:
Still running, but at six minutes specced 3/3 FA and far enough down into BM to get my pet some expertise, I have logged zero misses. I am at 5.25% hit from gear and 3% from Focused Aim.Alright, test is done. Facepalm the wolf missed zero times over 10 minutes with the above setup.
It’s worth noting that Animal Handler completely eliminated parries from the front of the dummy.
Probably also worth noting that the Grim Toll trinket is still based on spell hit, as I got a miss with 5.25% hit from gear and 3% from FA.A couple other notes from this build:
Character faces displaying wrong are fixed. The crosshair animation on Hunters Mark is now looping for the duration of the debuff. – Evias
Can you believe that!! Focused Aim works with pets!!
BTW – Thanks Rilgon for briging this to my attention! (Post)
