Spell damage hunter pets (ursol'lok)

[shirsig 18]

Can anyone who's tamed Ursol'lok confirm whether he does fire damage? Also, are there others besides Lupos which are supposed to do spell damage for their normal attack?

Can confirm he does _not_ do fire damage at the moment on Elysium realm. Writing a ticket on bugtracker soon enough.

I can confirm that Lupos correctly deals shadow damage and it properly ignores armor. Only his normal melee attacks though; Bite does physical damage.

All hunter pets will now always deal Physical damage for their base attack. - patch 1.9.0

 

this is 1.12 unless you want to classify 90% of talents & spells as bugged because they dont work like pre-1.4

Spell changes are not part of the patch progression. Only items.

 

Even so, we don't have any servers on 1.9 yet.

is that your argument why lupos should do shadow damage and ursol should be "fixed" to do fire damage? you know or maybe you dont some pet had greater movement speed before 1.9 i guess you want them to fix that too?

yeah every class advocate can then go and point at something related to their class to be fixed to its state in early patches because it benefits them in some way... that is why the general agreed version is 1.12 with progressing items/raids/dungeons

Pet mechanics =/= class mechanics.

 

And again, spell mechanics are not part of the patch progression. The only changes made for patch progression are items / quests and such, not spells or abilities.

You got a link to upvote? Also, know of any other such pets?

There's also an argument to be made that they're similar to items with class restrictions. It also depends what kind of pet mechanics. Changing their damage type is similar enough to changing the stats of items I would say to apply the same progress methods. Chase speeds are a bit different because the patch that normalized them also introduced the pet speed talent in the bm tree so for those to coexist would be strange.

yeah i camped ursol'lok for quite some time disappointed that he did not do fire damage.
i did notice that despite being a bear and they are known for being slow attackers he has a 1.39 attack speed
