Possible bug with our new pet? Buffs aren't working on it.

[Ultharion]

It seems as though none of my buffs actually work on my doggie. Be they targeted, single target buffs (e.g. the +HP/+Power, 1 conc. Line) or group buffs (e.g. Shroud line). Is this a bug, or is it intentional?

How can you be sure?

<div></div><div>A lvl 60 shaman should give almost 1k in hps to the pet with buffs.  Send the pet in and alone and then calculate its hits to see how much damage killed them and 1k in damage or so will do him in.  So unless the pet comes with 1hp (I doubt this as you can strip all your buffs and send the dog in to calculate when he dies and its not 1hp) then its safe to say none of ourbuffs are stacking on the dog.  Now whether thats by design (to intentially keep him weak) or its a bug the devs will have to fix/clarify.</div><div> </div><div> </div>

Summon a pet, send him unbuffed in to fight something that'll beat him, add up the damage done. Repeat, but buff the pet with foreboding (415 or so at Master 1), parse again the damage done before the poor little critter dies. It seems no change to the amount of damage taken before the pup dies. I'll repeat it when I get home, to give you some exact numbers.

I have confirmed this as well.  Unbuffed dogdog has about 1,200 hp at lvl 60.  With my group and single target hp buffs I should be adding almost 2k hp, but buffed dogdog still has 1.2k hp.<div></div>

I also confirm. HP buffs do not work on dogdog.However the Dire Invective line seems to work when applied on the pet. The problem is that it procs far too rarely for a 10% chance.<div></div>
