request to see if this changes color.

Per patch 2.2 bug fixes, hunter pets will no longer chase targets that vanish. (tried linking original patch notes but couldn't find them on waybackmachine)

I'm not the greatest with calculations, but there's something funky going on here.
At first glance this seems to be working properly for Explosive Trap (although the initial damage doesn't seem to reflect the tooltip), the damage is still increased when popping Blood Fury + Earthstrike.
The other two abilities don't seem to be working properly.

No increased damage on tooltip or on actual damage done. Will link logs later from vod.

TBW currently does not provide immunity to incapacitations or disorients in the current beta build: https://streamable.com/gxrymc

Wowhead DB seems to indicated that as it is in game right now, its just immunity to stuns:

important for hunters to be able to watch their swing timer accurately, without the actual cast time data we can't time rotations efficiently.

Added the talents and gained nothing. Had 156 intellect with 3/3 and no bonus RAP.

Trying to cast Gore manually using a macro (/cast Gore) gives the message "Your pet already knows Gore."
Doing the same type of thing with any other ability uses the ability correctly. Seems to just be Gore behaving this way.

Classic

Copied Pet on Beta

Freshly tamed on Beta

In classic, "caster" pets were pets tamed with a mana bar. These pets did inherently 2 less DPS than their equal level counterparts. In original classic they did less damage, had less armor and less health.

This was changed in patch 2.0.1 to no longer kill you after the effect ends.

In patch 2.3 it was noted that pets will try to get behind their target when in combat. The pet behaves like it does currently in classic instead.

If you cast Aimed shot, then try to cast it again immediately off cooldown, if you didn't just shoot an auto it won't let you cast aimed until the next auto shot goes out.

I'll add a clip of this later.

In classic you could use your pet to level a lower level character after they had hit it and they would earn full XP. This is still possible in TBC, not sure if bug but it does seem wonky.

can also see here that party is blue dots, but I think beta currently has white dots for party and white outline for raid members.

No trainer appears to train these. Should be learnable at level 30 for rank 1 avoidance, cobra reflexes, and level 60 for rank 2 avoidance. Not sure if there's another one but these are the ones I remember.

Character just stays idle during the cast.

Also think maybe the animation shape on target is wrong but I'll have to look that up.

Both /petdefensive and /petpassive works, however /petaggressive does not.. Making the only way to toggle it is to keybind the actual ability.

Making it impossible to macro it.

Check pet ability formulas/scaling.

Patch 2.0.1 noted that you should automatically switch to auto shot if leaving ranged combat.

I believe there was also a setting for this in the UI to toggle this off (I personally prefer it off)

While testing damage formulas I noticed something very odd happening with auto shot.

Testing with Fine Light Crossbow (29 damage, 2.7 speed) and 22 DPS ammo at 1145 AP gives me 309-310 damage range. This matches the tooltip's 309-310 damage range. The formula is:

22*2.7 + 29 + 1145*2.7/14

Attacking a lvl 14 borer in RFC, I see the damage goes from 309-310 to 284-285. So the mitigation is about 8%~ reduction (91.973%).

Doing this same test with Focused Fire (2% damage bonus) I get the result of tooltip showing 314-315 or (308-309)* 102%.
If I calculate the above formula with 1.02 * the whole thing I get this:

(22*2.7 + 29 + 1145*2.7/14)*1.02 = 315 - 316 range

However from the tooltip you can see it's actually slightly lower, so I adjust the formula to not count the ammo damage bonus as multiplied like this:

22*2.7 + (29 + 1145*2.7/14)*1.02 = 314 - 315 range

Now, if I attack this same lvl 14 borer, I get 290 always. Which seems to follow along the lines of the latter formula. Notice that my damage range here also matches the range on the tooltip (for some reason it shows 308-309)

I see this same thing with Ranged Weapon spec, or ferocious inspiration. Basically up to 2 percent modified bonuses being multiplied together. As an example:

With ammo damage multiplied:
(22*2.7 + 29 + 1145*2.7/14)*1.02*1.05 = 331-332 range

Without ammo multiplied:
22*2.7 + (29 + 1145*2.7/14)*1.02*1.05 = 326-327 range

Attacking the lvl 14 borer gives 299-300, which follows the latter's formula and ammo damage not being applied to the multipliers. However, if I add in a third, say RWS and Ferocious inspiration together, or slaying % bonus, I get the following result with say these multipliers: Focused Fire (2%), Ranged Weapon Spec (5%), and Slaying (3%)

With ammo damage multiplied:
(22*2.7 + 29 + 1145*2.7/14)*1.02*1.05*1.03 = 341-342 range

Without ammo multiplied:
22*2.7 + (29 + 1145*2.7/14)*1.02*1.05*1.03 = 334-335 range

The tooltip matches the latter, but when I actually damage a mob I end up with 313-314 which matches the formula for the first formula. If the damage range actually matched 334-335 like the tooltip suggests, and the test with 1 or 2 modifiers suggests, I'd have 307-308 damage instead.

So basically, when you have 3 or more multipliers for damage on Auto Shot, the formula literally is changing how it's calculated even though the tooltip still matches the original formula with only 1 or 2 modifiers. Maybe I missed something in there and someone can double check, but this is somewhat significant difference when you have higher damage abilities and ranges.

TL;DR 3 or more damage multipliers makes Auto Shot behave differently. All other damaging shots behave the same way regardless of % modifiers (they have ammo damage multiplied always)

Can add example later, stream not working atm.
