This may seem like a dumb question, but I can't help but wonder:
Is the Felpuppy confirmed to be Afflic's (rightful) new minion of choice? I know there had been a lot of conjecture about the buff to Nightmare Bite bringing it back up, now setting each of the pets into a niche (Imp for Destro, Pup for Afflic, Succy/Felguard from single/multitarget Demo).
The thing is... I couldn't find any concrete numbers, neither of previous damage or PTR damage. I've always just heard "Succubus is highest DPS" or "Felhunter will be taking back over", but as interested as I was to see how wide the gulf was before and how it looks now, all the sim figures I can find point out everything but the pet damage.
So I guess the question is: Is the Felhunter buff really enough to bring it up to the top spot for Affliction, or was that all a bunch of unfounded speculation?
Me too, all I've heard is rumors, but I did a few tests of my own.
Sure I tested it on a raider dummy, but I tried for a few minutes using the succubus and another time with the felhunter. The succubus usually gets about 4100 dps on a affliction build, while the felhunter barely gets to 1700.
I also tested one more time today, before the patch and he did about 1.580 damage on the raider dummy, I hope to see those numbers increasing very nicely tomorrow!

Yeah the Felhunter will be quite strong...not only that but from what I can see the Felhunter will probably be the single target demon of choice for Demonology as well.
Oh lawd.
I guess it's a bit better. Having an interrupt is good stuff.
I do wish they'd at least make Felguard a tad more useful beyond AoE.

Currently Elitist Jerks is showing the Felhunter for single target (for both specs) and Felguard for AoE (demo) encounters.
Poor Demo is still having an identity crisis.

What exactly is the problem with Felguard not getting a buff? Would that be overpowered for Pvp? Because even if he'd get buffed, I hardly believe someone would spec demo for pvp.

Then I got lucky. All of my addons got wiped off and I couldn't check even a single damage of mine without spotting it in the middle of a train wreck that is our dots hitting.
Still, I gotta ask, did they nerf the succubus? Before the patch, when I was affliction, I recall doing Tol Barad quests and always using her, she would usually hit for about 4k damage and maybe 9k for a crit, which would sustain enough aggro for me to kill the mobs without them even looking at me.
Yesterday I just tried it, she was hitting for a lousy 2500-3200 damage. Maybe its a bug?
In compensation, my felhunter keeps hitting for a normal of 7k damage and I already saw a 15k non-crit from him! =D

I feel borderline OP in PvP after this patch.

By the way, any of you guys noticed that the succubus is quite weak after the patch? I recall she usually would deal 4k for each lash of pain and crit for about 8k or something, but now she barely reaches 3k damage, she's been doing like 2300 normal hits.
Maybe its a bug? 'Cause I don't remember anything about nerfing her in the patch notes.

What you're saying is 'Hey, patchwerk tests on simcraft don't tell the whole story!'

At first, I was liking Patch 4.1
But then, now I hate it because all of a sudden, a simple autoattack delays my casted spells by 0.75 seconds.
