Aimed Shot does more damage than a 3 minute CD

2 seconds = forever.

And I’m saying a DK comparing anything to Aimed Shot is silly. Even if it is undertuned, that’s a weird place to start from.

There are better ways to make the point that “Frost Wyrm’s Breath needs buffs”

23

Sure, but comparing to other DPS specs is an okay thing to do. lol

Folks just need to make sure they know on which contexts various abilities are good.

24

Sure, in the same category (melee → melee and ranged → ranged). Never mind the fact that he’s comparing a single-target to an AoE line on top of that :stuck_out_tongue: it’s apples and… volkswagens.

25

I’ll have you know that apples and volkswagons are remarkably similar.

You see…

Goes on a lengthy tangent about all of the ways apples are somehow similar to volkswagons.

26

Well you see the apple company signed a deal with VW.
The Chinese government compared the apple company to the man from WWII that shall not be named and he also founded VW.
The man from WWII that shall not be named was mostly a vegetarian that enjoyed apples and also founded VW.
Both apples and VW’s come in green and red.
Both apples and VW’s fall apart with age.

MM is finally decent? cant have that its got to be BM where the hunter does 10% and its the ai pets doing all the damage. Last i saw the anticipated meters had arcane mages as the best mage spec too, with a 2 button rotation it should be dead last, for such a entry level difficulty playstyle, 1 button if its an aoe pull

Also OP, 2 aimed shots dumps pretty much all focus outside of the limited use trueshot. This is currently being offset by azerite traits but once those are gone assuming nothing similar comes in later a fair chunk of what you see in MM will be gone (the rapid fire haste buff gone, the stacking crit buff with trueshot gone, the base reduction in trueshot cd gone). Lots of nerfs coming soon™

They’ll do a tuning right before SL goes live, it’s very common to see balance issues on the prepatch.

Hurr hurr, bangstick go clik

(In all seriousness though, Aimed Shot hitting harder sounds about right. Though that Frostwyrm CD could use some serious tweaking. They attempted murder on Frost DK and just dumped the barely living body next to the DH’s)

Oh it can hit for much harder than that.

My hunter is only like 101 ilvl and aimed shot hits for 2500

add in double tap its 5000

add in the damage bonus if your health is over 70% , so looking at 7200-7500

that is all non- crit, if it all should crit, you do not pass go, do not collect 200 gold and go straight to the dumpster.

I’m sorry my 2 charge, super slow, easily avoided, giant resource spending ability that requires you to stand perfectly still for like 3 solid seconds does more single target damage than your AoE that let’s you run around.

Maybe instead of trying to nerf an ability you thought was a resource builder you could just ask for buffs?

Hard to avoid it epic bgs. I cant see you casting aimed shot amongst the other 39 opponents.

34

By that logic you can’t see any other ability being cast either.

I agree with the op. That orange doesn’t look anything like the apple next to it.

I loved hunter back in MoP, it was sad to see it not played in BFA. I dont think it needs to be nerfed. People just need to learn to play against it. I was just kinda salty it did more damage than a 3 minute CD.

38

Dude, I’ve been legit one shotting people with kill command in wpvp lol.

Well there ya go.

Well, it’s just the initial burst, trust me, after a while in a fight, your damage normalizes, you start of with a 3+K hit, then it keeps going down until it reaches your real damage, that is usually around 1.7K to 2.3K or so.
