Blizzard zero Hunter changes in the patch notes?

because its live on PTR and it has been for a few weeks. its getting removed.

Right. That’s what I was saying. I think my fat finger question mark confused you! Will edit lol

I do feel bad seeing no changes for hunters. While MM is doing pretty well, the possibility of DT being on the chopping block it is scary. I don’t play enough BM to have an opinion on the subject, so I’ll skip it. My biggest concern is Survival; is once again the least played spec in the game, outside PVP it doesn’t do very well, unless you are a GOD gamer. I’ll be honest I don’t want to go through another Shadowlands, where for a patch Surv was really good and the forgotten. The developers keep ignoring the community’s cry for help and they no addressing these is just sad.

From the new thread, looks like SV is getting some damage buffs, but nothing on bm aoe, double tap explanation or survivability yet.

Hunter

Survival

  • All ability damage and pet damage increased by 2%.
  • Butchery and Carve damage increased by 10%.
  • Fury of the Eagle damage increased by 10%.
  • Wildfire Bomb damage increased by 15%.

1: Sin needed more AoE. It is far behind the other 2 rogue specs in m+.

Looks like buffs to me

Just waht we needed, more sv buffs to further force ranged hunters to play that spec
:roll_eyes:

In PVP btw. i know it’s not great in pve

So, with Destro, Affliction and SV getting buffed on Tuesday, that officially puts BM AoE as dead last.

With all the single target buffs coming to other classes, I expect BM single target to drop to the bottom half of the list.

I hate being so negative, but this game seriously brings it out of me.

So, hear me out though. No DK changes, no Disc Priest changes, no Hunter changes except a couple baseline damage tweaks for pve for SV.

This leads me to believe they’re back from the holiday vacation and working on stuff, but they’re not releasing it all at once. I still think there will be changes coming.

The problem with that way of thinking is many of us were hopeful throughout SL and nothing ever happened.

This is true, I quit SL after season 1, and after checking back in I realized it was a good choice for me.

However, I am 99.9% sure there are different devs on the team, and so far they’ve made a LOT of rapid and (mostly) accurate changes. This tuning pass for pvp changes on tuesday is pretty solid (although incomplete).

I don’t recall this many changes even early on in SL. Given the holidays I expected the downtime period, but now that they’re back in office we’re seeing lots of notes coming out, so I still have some hope. But I’m also not holding my breath or going to be pikachu shocked meme if there aren’t…

Double tap is broken.

Even without doubletap hunter does great damage.

No one, at all, is forcing you to play anything

Double tap is nothing special. Hardly call it broken.

My issue is marks is just too squishy. Take some dps away if you want, gladly take survivability over it

In pvp, if you want to be competitive you play the best spec
and thats gonna be survival when this goes live
You’re not forced in pve obviously

Feels more like he just commited the Double tap change to the PTR the Friday before taking the 4 weeks of vacation he banked all at once.

Was really hoping for some buffs to BM…

Kill Shot with it’s current dmg… does not feel like a “kill” shot. It just feels bad… makes it so low on the priority list even when in “execute” range.

Buff Multishot cleave so it damages enemies in a radius around the pet, so we don’t have to install a clunky WA to see which way you pet is cleaving and which unit is impacted.

Buff Multishot cleave duration.

Give us a raid wide lifesteal CD (ie. 20% lifesteal/leech for 20 seconds, 5 min CD).

Yeah get out of here with this garbage blizz I am done too.
Didn’t buy DF, just UNSUBED

Happy for the SV Hunter changes. Good changes that will help us in M+ We can def use a buff.

Defensively, ALL HUNTERS need some changes, and I do not think that will happen until they get the numbers right.
