While it was way overtuned, now the bleed doesnt seem to scale with anything, and the dog is back at being inconsistent at applying it, i keep seeing it knock over enemies but not applying bleed

Quickpaw said this over on Reddit:
Just checked in with one of our game designers and the talent is working as intended:
Enemies that are knocked away when the Mastiff first takes off, or while the Mastiff is in the Air, should not have the Bleed applied to them. Only those that are knocked away by the Mastiffâs landingshould have it applied to them

well thats dumb as hell. Either make it scale with SOMETHING or make it bleed throughout the jump, as is it feels underwhelming again
one more point to spend somewhere else in the OP tree, I guess.

Dogzilla went back into the sea.
Yea Iâm torn on bleed buffing. On one hand, I like that it could add some interesting build opportunities if implemented in a not-too-crazy way. But I also think passive damage should be on the weaker end by nature.
And more importantly, I think, bleed offers synergies with other things, like ogryn damage reduction and Zealotâs bleed crit talent. Just because it does low damage on its own doesnât mean itâs not useful.

yeah but that requires having them on the team and for them to have those nodes AND to be near the dog. Also as far as im aware, this would make it the only dot in the game that cant be buffed by anything, which is a weird inconsistency.
It being the most passive of passives with the dog just jumping around all willy nilly kinda makes sense in that regard to me. But I guess weâll see where FS takes it from here. Iâd just rather it be weak than busted to all hell.

Quickpaw again on Reddit:
Weâve tackled various issues regarding disconnects and server stability throughout the year, but around May there was a surge of a very particular set of disconnection errors, which is what weâre investigating atm. I understanding that itâs frustrating though, absolutely.
[Edit: see response from Quickpaw below] With this very hotfix (1.8.4) we also added some extra logging tools that should give us more info on DCs in general and we hope that will help us diagnose the problem. Any additional information you can provide in that thread (original post has a list of stuff that would be helpful to know) along with the relevant console logs will also give us valuable intel on the problem.
Hopefully it wonât be much longer!

cuz if its not going to scale with any damage buffs, then the node is just going to be worthless again.

either make it scale with something, or make it apply bleed to everything it knocks over. If it does NEITHER, then the node is pointless
Small correction on this! It seems I was mistaken and those logging tools didnât make it into this particular hotfix, needs a bit more time. Sorry! But weâre definitely cooking them up and hoping to have them in game soon.

Why!? Youâre not even adding anything. With some absolutely cĂŁncerous combos in the standard mutators, stuff like Pus hardened and Moebian 53rd offer âbreathing roomâ in the intensity and variety in required play styles.

If all missions and mutators are always available then itâs not much of a challenge because youâd just choose assassination missions with easier mutators.
