Warlock Pets Cut From 7.5 to 2: WoW Forever Voidwalker
Blizzard's last development notes before launch (posted November 2, Pacific time) change one line for warlock pets in WoW Forever: "Pets now gain 2 Health per point of Master’s Stamina (was 7.5 Health per point of Master’s Stamina)." Two out of seven and a half keeps about a quarter: a 73% cut to the health a pet gets from its warlock's Stamina. The same notes raise Wrack's base damage per second at level 60 from 36 to 86. On the US forums, a warlock asked if the whole patch is a joke; one player there calls the changes massive buffs, another says a 79% loss in health is not a buff. No reason for the pet change is posted. One request: post why.

Warlock is the least played class in the Beta and has gotten the least attention from Blizzard of any class in the Beta.

The changes that we are looking at right now are objectively massive buffs to warlock

Maybe your math is different from my math, but 79% loss in health is not a buff.

Obituaries — the pet
Warlock pets got seven and a half health per point of my stamina, and the last notes before launch make it two1. I hid behind my voidwalker all beta, and now I can see through it.
Obituaries — the thread
A warlock on the US forums asked if the patch is a joke, and it's past a hundred and sixty posts3. One player calls it massive buffs4, and another says a seventy-nine percent loss in health isn't a buff5. I did the sum, it's seventy-three, which also isn't a buff.
Obituaries — the buff
"Base damage per second at level 60 effectively increased from 36 to 86."2 So Wrack hits harder, from behind nothing.
Obituaries — cause of death
Post why the pets lost it, you lot. Cause of death: two health a point.
I'll be here. Forever.
