In the entire history of World of Warcraft, no class has been so abused and attacked than hunter in SoD. In the entire month since SoD has come out, Hunter has been nerfed 13 times.
The development team of 20 people has spent its entire month of resources nerfing hunters. They have produced no other content other than nerfing hunters.
Here is a total list of hunter nerfs:
- All bow damage nerfed by 33% from vanilla values
- Lone wolf from 25% to 15%
- Chimera from 125% to 85%
- Explosive shot from 75 damage to 25
- Scorpid poison changed from 90 to 13
- Attack power scaling/health scaling reduced from 22.5% to 12.5% on pets
- Kill command only works with bite, claw
- World buffs only apply to 30% of the hunters damage (no pets)
- Wind serpent scaling reduced
- BM Hunter rune 33% nerf
- Hunter pets no longer benefit from spell damage
- Flanking strike can miss/dodge/be blocked
- Hunter pets no longer benefit from wild strikes
Am I missing anything?
There is zero reason to play this game as a hunter. In every expansion and in every patch there is a hunter nerf. In WOTLK for the entirety of WOTLK hunter pets were unable to attack other players in arena in half of the maps. In TBC, the gnomish net was removed which was the only thing that made hunters viable otherwise you could never get an auto shot off.
In no version of the game have hunters ever been viable.
None of the runes do anything. Its a 10% stat boost rune on the chest, 20% pet damage rune on the gloves and none of the leg runes do anything. Once you factor in the fact bow damage was nerfed by 33% from original values, you are actually just doing OG vanilla hunter damage and have no new buttons to press. The class does NOTHING NEW and NO NEW DAMAGE.
Its time to permanently unsubscribe and delete the hunter class from the game.
I have just unsubscribed on both accounts.

feral druids from patch 2.0.10 say hi.
So overnerfed were the ferals they couldn’t even tank normal 5 man dungeons anymore. A hot fix had to be implemented to adjust that. Blizzard then tried to claim that the feral nerfs were based on “internal testing” and not just forum QQ from warriors upset over having to compete for a main tank spot. But so obvious was the brokenness and need for a hot fix that ANY amount of testing, internal or otherwise, would’ve caught it and prevented the need for the hotfix.
Just proving that nerfs are based off of forum QQ.

is there a reason you didn’t name the buffs as well?

It’s funny because the SoD devs are like, “We don’t wanna balance anything, we just wanna wait and see, just have fun with the runes!”
looks at Hunters being changed every week

Today’s changes look to be an improvement for the hunter, especially in PvE.

Why are hunters always crying after getting to abuse a brokenly overpowered class for over a month and play the game on easy mode?

Its just incompetence. The other 2 shots are still horrid. Now BM Is horrid. Now the entire class is just a heaping pile of dog crap.
Everyone should just unsub who plays hunter so they listen to us.

What exactly is bm hunter “destroying”. Mages are soloing 300 mobs at once.

Warriors do enjoy a level 1 passive nerf immunity on account of the devs play them.

4th in dps pve
absolutely murdered by locks and druids…
How many druids you see running around in pvp???
Seems like they needed shot buffs and pets needed to be left where they were

Yeah, the pets sure have caused some changes.
And I’m fine with them.
See you next phase.
