Patch 3.3.3: New pet bug on live realms

Patch 3.3.3 is live, and players all over are checking out all the new features -- I myself was busily exchanging battleground marks for honor points on all my various characters when I noticed something... odd. My level 70 pet had a new buff. Not just any buff -- Hellscream's Warsong, the buff from Icecrown Citadel. Upon further investigation, it appears that all player pets are currently running around with this buff -- demons, hunter pets and ghouls are all currently affected, although I didn't get a chance to peek at a mage water elemental. Alliance players are seeing the Alliance counterpart, Strength of Wrynn, also on all pets. While only the 5% version of the buff, players of every level are being affected -- I'm sure the level 42 hunter I saw running around with it was pleased. This is most assuredly a bug that will be fixed at some point in the near future, but pet classes? Enjoy it while you can. I know I will!

I'm on my lock right now (and have been all day). No buff for my felpuppy! >=(

guess the coder tried to make it so pets could use the buff and ended up making it apply all the time xD

If this is the worst bug for this patch, I won't shed a tear.
As usual though I expect more and more to pop up (Not that they aren't fixed quickly most of the time)
Did they at least fix that stupid bug where the King wouldn't spawn for that quest when you read him the nasty letter?

Hmm, looks like renewed hope is stacking now too, (i.e. 1 for each disc priest)

I was wondering why that huntard in VoA25 was pulling 10k DPS...

That's not that unusual, buff or not. ;)

He probably has the bugged bow. Hunter in my guild hit 11k unbuffed on a dummy. =O!

Err.. MM hunters are one of the classes that were pulling 10k on raids specially 25 already in pre-patch with mix of toc 25 and ICC 10/25 gear, nothing to do with the buff bug :/

I noticed this bug and was very pleased lol. But ah, my engineering auctioneer doesn't work =/
Griffe Mar 23rd 2010 10:13PM
Speaking of bugs: Has anyone else encountered problems with the ICC gunship battle?
Twilit Soul Mar 23rd 2010 10:13PM
Yeah I loved this bug when I found it, but I've also found that my engineering auctioneer doesn't work =|

Bugs suck. I thought my first post didn't make it when my browser crashed x.x sorry.

Bug or stealth buff for BM hunters.
Viper007Bond Mar 23rd 2010 10:45PM
And demo/destro locks!

There is also a bug with TTW and Pyroblast; they don't seem to be working together just yet. Go hotfixes!

I can confirm Mage elementals get the buff.
Viper007Bond Mar 23rd 2010 10:46PM
What about mirror image? Talk about OP...
Tooay Mar 23rd 2010 11:15PM
I can confirm -my- elemental doesn't get the buff.
I haven't seen any hunter pets with it either. D=

My elemental doesnt get the buff either :(. the only way I would notice is I run focus magic on my ele when soloing, he only had focus and int buffs.
