Go for the throat problem?Follow

This skill is supposed to generate 25 focus for my pet with every critical ranged attack (one point spent). It seems to be working about 1 in 5 crits, maybe less.

Anyone else having this issue?

Look in your combat log. That will tell you (and give it about 1/2 a second or so). Fight something about 15 levels below you and see how many crits you get and count the number of times it says "<Pet> has gained 25 focus from GFTT" and see if there really is an issue. If you keep up with the 1/5 ratio, contact a GM.

There's a short delay between the time your crit lands and the time your pet is given the Focus boost. If your pet has a 25+ focus ability ready for use, it will likely use it as soon as it gets the Focus. I noticed the same thing after I respecced and was counting on the Focus from crits to keep my pet going, but after a while I got used to it and was convinced that "everything is working as intended."

I think you can turn on focus/energy gains in the Blizzard default Scrolling Combat Text. If not, you can download the SCT addon that has it. I would think all the focus gains would get annoying, but if you're trying to prove to yourself it works, you'd at least see it somewhat in real time.
