Hunter and Warlock pets get Aggressive mode back

Both pet classes get Aggressive mode back in the October 1 beta build, under the pet tab of the spellbook. Blizzard also fixed tameable beasts whose pet abilities were ranked too high for the creature, which could make a pet seem to forget an ability.

For Hunters, the Marksmanship capstone Sniper Shot reaches 45 yards, and for 10 seconds afterwards your next 3 shots reach 10 yards further. Survival’s Deflection gives 1 to 5% parry by rank, down from 2 to 10%. Improved Stings and Predator’s Edge get icons that feel more like the original game.

For Warlocks, Affliction’s Soul Harvesting is renamed Soul Harvest and now gives its 50 or 100% mana regeneration as intended. Hellfire can crit, Drain Soul stops when you start casting something else, and the Incubus uses a lower-resolution model.

Our copy of build 1.60.1.70170’s files agrees on Sniper Shot, Deflection, the new icons and Soul Harvest’s name. Datamined wowforever.ninja — Forever's client files, build 1.60.1.70170 See the Hunter and Warlock calculators.

Why it matters: pets can be set to attack on their own again, and Sniper Shot builds gain real reach.
