10.0.7 Datamine, What does it mean?

Classes Hunter
1

I am seeing a few spells in the aura buffs hunters are receiving from the datamined 10.0.7 updates.

Marksmanship Hunter

  • Effect #1 Apply Aura: Modifies Damage/Healing Done
    Value: 17.523.5%
    Affected Spells:
Multi-Shot Explosive Trap Aimed Shot
Kill Command Kill Shot Steady Shot
Careful Aim Serpent Sting Barrage
A Murder of Crows Steel Trap Chimaera Shot
Chimaera Shot Arcane Shot Lacerate
Raptor Strike Bursting Shot Carve
Mongoose Bite Wind Arrow Hatchet Toss
Cobra Shot Caltrops Volley
Black Arrow Dragonsfire Grenade Dragonsfire Conflagration
Piercing Shot Stomp Throw Axe
(and 81 more.)

What is Hatchet Toss and Throw Axe?
Why am I seeing Caltrops, Black Arrow, and lacerate in these buffs if those spells no longer exist?

Can someone explain?

They don’t know what to do with us.

old stuff from legion they haven’t fully removed

This is just part of the 5% buff that went live two days ago. Their datamining just didn’t remove the stuff that was already datamined previously. THe giveaway is that is changed from 17.5% to 23.5%.

I was more curious about the spells we don’t currently have and the spells I am not sure I have ever seen before. Either way as Yuraa said they may just not 100% remove things I guess. I just don’t recall seeing those spells in previous datamined aura buffs.

Yeah I saw the Hatchet Toss, Throw Axe and Dragonfire Grenade and thought they were reverting SV back to Legion.

I got a little excited for a moment. A lot of people didn’t like it but I have fond memories dropping a Caltrop on Warriors and kiting them in a circle using Throw Axe.

Pretty sure they just don’t remove those references because it would take valuable time. Also, they probably want to leave the door open to bringing them back in the future without completely rewriting the code.

Which also says they could easily bring some of the good talents back! Caltrips would be nice. Hatchet toss as well for SV

They’ve been there since they added those specific abilities back in previous expansions. Like others said, the abilities themselves have been “disabled”, meaning we can no longer access them.

The aura modifier, however, still contains references to them in back-end tables(code), as they were previously part of the class, and as such, benefited from said aura modifier.
