@GC: Scorpid Poison bug (not what you think)

Currently if there are two hunters in a raid or party using scorpid pets, the scorpid poison stack is not applied for each scorpid pet. What happens is that Scorpid #1 puts up the first stack of the poison, then Scorpid #2 puts up a poison stack, which goes right on top of the first one from Scorpid #2. All the damage gets attributed to the first scorpid poison stack and it's the old rolling ignite deal.

Is this intended or is Blizzard even aware of it? What's the word? Thanks.

It's not intended, but we also aren't jumping through a lot of hoops to make scorpids even more popular right now. Once we get the pets more equal, then we'll see if we can get this fixed.

One suggestion that has come up a lot if just getting rid of the stacking altogether. It's neat that it makes the scorpid different from the other pets, but it has been a balance problem for some time.
