Better pet scaling promised in Cataclysm

Hunters and warlocks were given something to look ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych][link widoczny dla zalogowanych] forward to during the Blizzard developer chat on twitter this evening. The question was asked: "You mentioned pet scaling being added for patch 3.3 but due to time constraints,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was delayed. Will this be in the next patch?" This is something that has been mentioned throughout the course of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion and hasn't been implemented yet. The reason? It is a fairly complicated procedure.
We'll try to do what we can. Technically it's just more challenging than you might think. For Cataclysm, we have on our list that 100% of stats scale. If they don't then certain stats just won't be as valuable for pet classes. At the very least, we can do stuff like convert your X into damage for the pet so every stat is valuable. Getting everyone to scale with every stat better is a major goal for the class team for Cataclysm. With hunters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], warlocks, and unholy death knights, there are a lot of talents and glyphs that affect the world of warcraft gold scaling of stats to your pet. If you allow certain stats to scale too well, you suddenly unbalance the class. If the stat scales poorly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then the class falls in the other direction. Every talent and ability that taps into these has to be checked to make sure it doesn't throw things out of whack. Considerations on diminishing returns on certain stats scaling would also need to be checked.
Overall, there is a lot of wow gold number crunching and statistical analysis involved in trying to find the right balance between all of the knobs that they need to adjust. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the frustration of out-gearing your pet will hopefully be behind us either in an upcoming patch or (more realistically) when Cataclysm hits.
