WLs are the new SHs

Hi there,
First of all this is not a whine thread. I've noticed that every time someone points out a powerful or beneficial feature of a class many people who play that class wil take it as a personal attack, while the poster's intention doesn't necesarily have to be motivated by unjust frustration or envy. (Although most of the time that's actually the case. I hope you understand it's not the case this time.
I'm not even claiming that WLs are OP now or anything of the sort.
In fact I just wanted to check if some of you have the same impression. I seem to recall that WL pets didnt do as much damage as they do now and that they were much more durable then.
That, if it is indeed true, has propitiated a curious phenomenon, which already existed but has become more popular recently. WLs playing hide and seek while their pet gets the job done, much in the classical SH style. In short, I had never seen WLs play more like Shs than recently, now that their pet is more reliable. In fact, when I played T1 on live and had to face WLs 1v1 I almost never recall the WL charging away and only returning when the pet had softened the enemy to the point of being under 5% health like I see them doing now. Some don't even bother to finish the foe by their own hand and prefer the security of distance.
This is just an observation on the differences between the game now and how it used to be. I know it's Alpha and, again, I'm not complaining.I was just curious to check if my perception was true. I think maybe WLs used to play that way too in old WAR and I just don't remember correctly, and obviuosly they have all the right to employ any strategy that helps them be efficient and useful top the group or 1v1. If someone said its not fair then SH's fighting style couldnt be said to be fair too.
Your opinions?
