Druid spell: Animal Attunement 3 worse than rank 2

[Stickybuds]

I have tested done some testing and rank 3 is broken. Alla clone says it should be 150% haste and kiss of life proc (like all the others) and 15% dmg mod.

Tested with a feral feline in stillmoon which i have used many times in this zone. using rank 2 gives your cat a very nice dps boost and will mow down mobs, also if you invis your cat will kill you in 1-2 seconds(rank 2 is 125% haste, 10% dmg mod,KoL). invis with rank 3 and the attack speed is the same or maybe even worse than with no buff. KoL proc is working, and dmg mod *seems* to be working but im not sure. but haste portion of the buff is defiantly NOT working. there was no chace the cat could kill me with rank 3 and can barely solo the other trash with rank 3. With rank 2 it kills me in seconds, and can solo the trash in seconds.

iirc haste has a cap, and if you go beyond that cap then it actually slows your atks rather than makes you hit faster. An example is the Can o' Woopass clicky. it increases hate by a huge pct, but on emu it actually slows you by a huge percent. in other words, nerf the haste and accomidate the nerf with a better dmg mod and you'll be golden.

Sorry but the druid's Ranked spells are completely worthless. The pet is never used cause it has 8k hp focused. The only zone you can dc a pet worth having is in Stillmoon. Id much rather see this spell revamped into something useful for the druid class.

i do agree a revamp of a more useful spell would be nice as there inst much you can DC past stillmoon and yes the 70 pet even focused cannot survive rampage. This rank 3 spell dropped off Phara in VP. No way the pet would be surviving in there. Now if there was a 65 mob i could DC past T2 thatd be cool. Then this line would be just fine.

When I got this spell , I summoned a pet with focus , casted spell mon my pet and used /pet attack , he died instantly..
I never ever used that spell again or any rank spell hehe

yeah the druid raid line of spells is the absolute worst. it is an amazing spell, but when you stick it on a weak pet it is essentially useless. now if mages or beastlords had the spell i dunno it might be awesome. or if the druid could cast it on pets other than theirs it would be awesome. as it is i have played with the spell a little bit in stillmoon and such but it really doesn't have any uses for a raiding druid. as previously pointed out if you don't have a DC pet your pet is gonna die to ramp FAST. and DC pets are few and far between. and to give druids stronger summoned pets would be overpowered i think. the resolution seems to be giving druids some other spell as a raid boss drop. correct me if i am wrong but i don't think any druids will be crying foul over losing the pet haste if it is replaced with any sort of useful spell.

Hello. I noticed you have been fixing a lot of stuff lately and with the new pet AAs that druids are getting I was wondering if this could get another look.

What Jeido mentions sounds like the most likely culprit.

Thanks!

The issue Jeido described more affects the client than pets/npcs. Mainly due to the fact that the clients have their own haste calculations that are separate from what npcs use.

For this spell, I parsed each version of it and it did increase DPS slightly with each rank. However, if the druids feel that its useless, then I am all for modifying it and/or replacing it with some suggested spells.

[Stickybuds]

Ah ok, good deal =). Don't mind me then, i'll crawl back under my rock.

As for replacing/modifying it, id just assume leave it as is if it is working correctly. While it may not be used as much as say the shm or cleric's counterparts, it has a couple uses. If this server was still pre-T8 spells id be more inclined to want to change it but we have Moon Curse with T8 now, and its nice to have a good pet buff.

Personally I would rather save new spell ideas for the next tier or zone. (such as viewtopic.php?f=35&t=8417 ). Just seen the pet patch notes and was reminded of this.

Thanks for taking the time to take a look at it and verify. I'm not able to login atm.

I can now use it with the T8 Draekon pet. Along with the addition to buff the pets, its pretty cool now. If I were to recommend anything, I would say some type of nature regen of a high quality.
