My debation with friend on Devilsaur tooth with +200 ranged attack power trinket.

I was on a debation with my friend's brother last night on Hunter's Lv50 quest trinket - Devilsaur Tooth with those common +200 attack power trinkets.

He said my information was incorrect.
I tried to explained to him on the importance of BM pet attack power.
I guess only BM hunters who relies on their pet the most would understand what i mean.


My gut feeling that this trinket is also important is due to recent 3.0.2 patch, Blizzard changed the stats of this trinket to this, which greatly improves a BM hunter's pet damage by a significant margin.

Pet Scaling

How Your Stats Affect Your Pet

Starting with Patch 2.0, hunter pets now benefit from "pet scaling". Pet scaling just means that your pet gets to add some of your stats to his own stats, so that his power scales with your power. The basics are very simple:

• Pets get about 45% of the hunter's stamina added to their stamina.
• Pets get about 35% of the hunter's armor added to their armor.
• Pets get about 22% of the hunter's ranged attack power added to their melee attack power.
• Pets get about 12.5% of the hunter's ranged attack power added to their spell damage.
• Pets get about 40% of the hunter's resistances added to their own resistances.
• Pets inherit the hunter's hit and critical rates.

From here you can see, Pets get about 22% of the hunter's ranged attack power added to their melee attack power. So if our trinket gives us +200 ranged attack power, it only gives our pet a miserable 44 attack power.

Why people chooses to play BM hunter is because of their pet assisting them to fight.
Our pet is our tanker, our main attacker. While we BM hunter are supportive attacker.

Devilsaur tooth bonus is +200 Pet attack power for 20seconds.
This bonus when combines with Bestial Wrath and Kill Command, your pet can kill anyone in few seconds.
