Stackbot won’t reset on DoTs, Lick the Wounds gives pet damage, and Ambush Predator is finally getting an icon.
That’s it. No pet buffs, no mention of scaling for abilities, no changes to our skills.
Just WTF GB?
Can someone go in game once the patch drops and see if pets scale. I wouldn’t put it past GB to not include that in the patch notes. Otherwise, I’m done.

GBX has to make the rounds. They are only balancing one VH at a time. First it was Zane, now Moze, next they’ll likely look at Fl4k.
I think next is fl4k. They did zane and now moze so it only makes sense fl4k is next. They are oviously listening with these moze buffs so i think pateince is key.
Why the heck should this take 6 months? Since Noelle confirmed in the thread that there is no scaling for abilities, we’ve essentially been nerfed if they rebalance Mayhems 1-3.
We. Got. Nerfed. Pet builds. The, Without a Doubt, absolute weakest build in the game, got nerfed.
This would be like nerfing pre buff Cloud Kill

I know it sucks, Pet build is the only reason I have a lvl 57 Fl4k, but their time will come. It’s just unfortunate it takes a few months for each VH to be balanced.
Someone please record a run using pets on Mayhem 3 before this patch hits so people can actually see what well scaled pet damage looks like before this catastrophe hits. I would do it myself but I’ve got another 3 hours at work…
I’m flabbergasted. How long can they keep this up? I basically read through the entire patch notes, thinking, “Is this for Fl4k’s pets? No. Is this for Fl4k’s pets? No.” What. Are. They. Thinking? Grr… I guess my utter refusal to play Fl4k must continue. Honestly, Fl4k pet builds was one of the things which originally convinced me to buy the game and we still don’t have them working properly. C’mon Gearbox!
I don’t know why I’m hoping, but the only thing that’s keeping me going is that they may just be bullshitting about the scaling. They do stealth buffs and we know it, there is plenty of stuff that isn’t in the hotfixes that finds its way into the game. That’s all we can hope for at this point.
What the hell was the point of “continuing to update the game” if ■■■■ that sucked 6 months ago still sucks or sucks worse? Why would they make a Beastmaster with terrible pets knowing how much people loved the previous pet classes and how much we were looking forward to this class?
Do they have any idea what made their previous games fun, or do they just not give a ■■■■ anymore?
I see why people are so sick of seeing “we’re looking into it”. I know it’s not Noelle’s fault if she has nothing to report, but it’s such a ■■■■■■■ non-answer that it just annoys me to see it at this point.
