Is Dogdog now a Godgod?

[Rayche]

Ok, now that it's live, and I'm going to see Harry Potter tonight, I won't get the chance to see how the Weapon Master changes are affecting Dogdog. What's the effect??

[Finora]

<p>Well the patch notes claim that he is now single down arrow. However, when I cast him after logging in he was still tripple down arrow as always.</p><p>I've not been out doing anything to see if he does more damage yet.</p>

[Rayche]

Or whether he can take a single riposte?

There was no change to dogdog... i buged it and reported it in from the test server and on the forums... so unless the update you guys got was different then ours.. there was no visable change in dogdog.

Well, I throwing my guess here but I think it might actually work this way. I noticed that my SK's Str buff has changed for GU, so logged on. The buff that was on him was an old one with STR still in the buff. I recasted the buff and i see that the new buff was applied. So, I'm thinking for our mystics, it may be that for those that already have chosen weapon mastery before the GU, the dog stat is still following the old set? Since weapon mastery is not castable, if someone can test it out with an AA reset and choose the weapon mastery again, I'd like to know if doing so will fix this.

sadly the patch note also says doggie is double down.... when we all know it's triple down =(

[Aela@Test]

When i reset the skills on test after the patch came here, it didn't work.  I can't speak for live, i don't have a live character.

I bugged it last night that he is still 3 arrows down.

Anybody tried doing a respec and Re-purchasing Weapon Mastery to see if it worked on Dog?

I'm a sad panda. =(

dogdog is still worthless.

Just got Weapon Mastery last night.  Dogdog is still three arrows down.

- Weapon Mastery: Also increases effectiveness of Summoned Spirit Companion (single down arrow instead of double down arrow). The whole thing is wrong. All of it... makes you wonder.

<p>My dog is triple down, too. But, on a bright note, he does do 175-200 damage per attack on average, which is helpful. I do have weapon mastery. I'm a 70/mystic btw.</p><p>I actually took the pet line in AA's, I'm not sure how much it helps other than the fact my dog actually lives a long time now in groups because he rarely gets directly AoE'd and non-direct no longer hurts him. It's hard to tell how much his ward, haste buff, and group AoE avoidance procs are helping since I don't use parses and such.</p>

I have the full strength line and I always cast Prophecy (part of a macro) on dogdog it helps massively in keeping him alive, I have even gone whole instances with dogdog living. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Has any dev even acknowledged this yet?

I guess this is not a priority to them at all. We will probably have to wait until the next live update or maybe the one after that before this is fixed.
