Both Frenzy (20/40/60/80/100% chance to increase pets attack speed by 30% when it deals scores critical hit) and Ferocious Inspiration (1/2/3% increased damage for all party members when hunters pet scores critical hit) proc from pet hits. Thus, Ferocious Inspiration causes Beast Master hunters and their pet deal perpetually 3% more damage, while the pet is nearly contiunously attacking with 30% increased speed depending on how many points are spent on Frenzy.

Overpowered, eh?

This is proving troublesome to test. Melee crits are calculated before the actuall damage is applied and shown, so it could be possible that the server is calculating crits that have been determined but not shown in the combat log.

Also sometimes hits that would be crits can be dodged or parried, making this more difficult to test.

Ferocious Inspiration seems to indeed be bugged, as it pretty much procs straight away.

As for overpowered, yeah it is a little, although pets crit all the time so keeping these buffs up is a given. I can think of a more orange reason for overpoweredness.

If you test it out, you'll notice that Ferocious Inspiration is up 24/7. I also suggest that when you test Frenzy, go for 1/5. You'll see that's up rather continuosly too.

Frenzy has a very high uptime, but I do remember that the max pve build for BM only had one or two points in frenzy due to the pet's high base critical strike chance.

However, like you said, ferocious inspiration is indeed bugged and will need to be fixed. I am going to need to figure out a good testing method to really see if frenzy is bugged.
