Considering the lack of available slots for skills in Beta I never used the dogs they are a waste of space. Before patch 14 they tanked things but couldn't kill anything, my button is better off used for a damaging spell. Now it seems they might be worthwhile since a little fodder is required, in either case not much of a loss, use a runed grasp and kite...

Playing Diablo since 97. I know nothing and having nothing good to say, I be a troll.
Oh, so it was better back when they never died? Not even one dog died during the whole SK encounter? Yeah that sounds about right.
Why is it everyone on this site just jumps to extremes and never notices the gray area in between. As if there isnt' a huge area between 1 shotted and never dying. However, this is the fking 1st third of normal, so yah they should never fking die, because this is a joke. The mobs are hitting for diddly shit, yet these dogs can't stay alive now?!? WTF do you think will happen in higher difficulties?
They should obviously be able to stay alive long enough for the cooldown to refresh in inferno. If they can't even take 1 hit in 1st part of normal, then wtf good are they going to be in higher difficulties?

One is never hurt by being given additional choices, only by taking them away. A QUADRILLION MAGIC FIND is worthless if you can't kill shit!
They were never ment to tank, EVER. More a kind of cc, they are ment to die, take a few hits u would otherwise take. U srlsy was thinking they were viable as tanking dogs in hell/inferno? 1 shot kill there from shitty normal monsters
derp yourself you twit....use your head for something other than a hat rack.
How much of a distraction, not CC lol, is a dog that dies in 1 hit going to really be worth? Nothing. Especially if you can't resummong them for another whole minute. Even if you could spam them, wtf good would it be? None obviously.
Might as well go play a summoning druid in dablo 2.

I'm sure they scale somehow, maybe off your hp?. Obviously if they are being 1-shot now then they wouldn't hold up well even in the rest of Act 1, let alone any other difficulty. Surely Blizzard has thought of this and there is more to the spell than what you're experiencing.

Did anyone ask the OP what his gear was? I could make the same statement but if I was naked it would make more sense. On top of that if a dog gets one shotted from a boss... well it's a boss what do you expect? As long as they can take a few hits from trash I don't see the issue.

False. When there are too many options it is called hyperchoice, which people experience as highly stressfull. People want choice, but with limitations.

They should take away your choice to comment so you will stop saying stupid shit.

How about we all remember that this is beta and that if something like this isn't supposed to be happening it will be fixed. That's the whole point of beta. We test and they fix the errors. Personally I don't see a problem with the skeleton king one shotting the dogs. He hits pretty damn hard now. Even though I gave my templar some pretty nice gear he was still getting smacked down to almost dead during whirlwinds. The game was a joke before when a level 1 witch doctor could kill him.
I could be wrong but it seemed to me that the dogs were only 1-shotted when the SK does his triple strike move.
Not that they take too much damage, just that the attack has the property to "banish" summons.
In my last fight vs SK i got away from the boss when launching the event and only went back in after his first attack ... the dogs stayed alive until his next triple strike. So i just had to cast a summon once the have the dogs alive all the fight.
Is it really a banish summon move? If so then that is pretty cool. Would suck for an old Necro army but not too bad for a mini-boss.
(Does not have the beta to check anything himself)

Of course its not...Even if it was, how in the heck would you know it was?
He pulled that out of his ass, and it makes no sense at all.

its sk but who cares yeah i noticed the dogs are like paper in this patch they die realy fast
Ohh thats great news. Might as well just fking delete this whole class then....
This patch is so fucking terrible its almost laughable.
Based on your numerous "sky is falling" posts regarding patch 14 I can conclude you are a complete idiot who should stay far away from diablo 3. Dogs tanking all content without dying meant they were necessary in every WD build and OP. Besides, having engaging play (oh when SK does his move then I need to be able to summon new dogs cause they die) is a GOOD thing. Every post youve made has been "wow, this blatantly OP skill or passive has been toned down? might as well delete the class then". Just stay far away from diablo 3 and gaming in general if these are really your opinions and not some poor attempt at trolling.

As opposed to every single conclusion youve come to saying patch 14 is laughable based on reading message boards and not having beta access?
lmao, yeah dude hes the on pulling it out of his ass XD
I like a little challenge but I wonder if this increased damage is only for the beta to appease the beta testers and it will be reverted back to pre-patch 14 damage for the release. I don't mind dieing for standing in the massive whirldwind but I don't think grandma is going to appreciate it as much, her bones are very brittle these days.

This is my thinking on the matter actually.
Even so though, if the dogs can't handle even double dmg, then something seems off.
