I have not tested out the pets so I am only going by what people are saying.
Before focus items were in on this server my 49 pets always hit for at least 56 damage. No matter what level pet. They were probably hitting 61's like all the focus'ed pets were hitting before the patch.
If the nerf was just to focused pets. Why did the Un-focused pets hit for over 56 every time before.
56 should be the max hit for the 49pets not 61. This is unfocused though.

link from 2004 though.
No idea if that helps at all. I just feel if you nerfed pet focus items only. Why does the unfocused pet hit for less. Necro's are saying their pet hits for less. Probably shamans too.
Hate to see everyones pet get nerfed. Just my 2cp.
