0. GC: Shaman's Spirit Wolves still not scaling 11/18/2008 03:20:50 AM PST
Hey Ghostcrawler. I'd like to talk a bit about the Shaman's Spirit Wolves and how it is supposed to scale.
Some time back in the beta forums you stated that the Spirit Wolves should be scaling with gear. You even said you were seeing that in 3.0, and asked for reports from others. People tested and got back to you, saying that they didn't scale; they did the same damage and had the same HP whether you were naked or fully decked out in epics. After that I don't recall seeing anything else about it. How are things standing today?
I just tested them out this morning on a lvl 70 training dummy. Naked and with no buffs, the wolves do about 225-250dps and have 10.2k HP. With all my gear on the wolves do about 225-250dps and have 10.2k HP. There is no difference and no scaling going on.
How about it? Is scaling still planned? Did you run into some issues implementing it? I'm sure most enhancement shaman would very much like to know.

And this
Spirit Walk - Removes all movement impairing effects and increases the movement speed of you and your Spirit Wolves by 60% for 15 sec. (25 yd range, 32 sec cooldown)
could REALLY help us in pvp.. as we are pretty much worthless right now with only one cc cancel :(
Please fix the wolves.. for god's sake, its a 51 point talent.. geez
The spirit walk doesnt work on ANY movement impairing effects.. simple.

I agree and would be a nice adjustment since we don't have ST, and this is on a long enough cooldown. Not to mention to use this as a mechanic as it is we have to go through a couple cooldowns just to try and get away.

None of the these types of summon scale at all (ie treants, mirror image, za trinket.) Not that yours shouldn't, just saying, ones a 41pt'er and ones a lvl 80 spell. I guess they figure since there's 3 of them they shouldn't scale, my mirror images hit for about 70-300 dmg at lvl 80 though lol.

Any news on spirit walk? It was supposed to remove snares/roots and never has worked properly. Your last reply on the issue about a month ago said it worked fine for the devs yet it is still broken on live. Any update?

does that that apply to spirit walk too or are you just fixing the scaling ? (spirit walk currently does not remove roots/freezes on the shaman or the wolves themselves)

Seconded, I'd like to know if this could hit 3.08 as I'm hoping the increased heals from scaled AP will help our PvP survivability. Right now I'm great against casters but warriors and pallies see the wolves and /facepalm before dropping me.
