Now with all the nerfs and scaling taking in effect Cats are now the only viable pvp pet by a vast margin and the best Cat available by a gross margin is locked behind a 6-8 hour spawn window which is made almost impossible with the forced layer changes.
Thanks for listening to all the bad players who refuse to learn how to play wow and instead go on the forums and complain which results in drastically reducing the fun of the game. This is how retail was destroyed. Food for thought.
Was there another hunter nerf this last patch?
Lightning Breath begs to differ.
LB is still on the last rank as you can’t tame a pet that has it to learn it. Cat is able to get bite, claw and dash ranks at 40. The other pets do pretty pitiful damage compared to cats.
you must be under a rock. next rank of lightning breath is achieved in 1 level. and with current pet scaling doesnt even do half the burst damage of a cat even without kill command.
Lightning breath was disgusting, ranged, on spell hit, so couldnt be dodged, blocked or parried, and ignored armor.
It deserved to go
oh here we go with another l2p skill issue from another bad player. you can cc or root the hunter pet and get in the hunters deadzone and gg. i literally made a druid just to do this in phase 1 and it was hilarious how easy it was to counter hunters. if your class is one of the token classes that cannot do this then mayber hunters are not actually op but rather your counter class lmao. cats are actually far less easy to counter due to prowl and hit much harder than wind serpents did in phase 1. id say they’re on par with scorpids except they can use stealth. why even post if you don’t know what you’re talking about…
Right, so you mean… rogue… paladin… warrior… shaman… almost half the classes in the game?
Lets also not forget that oh, bestial wrath makes the pet unable to be cced?
This is the problem. Most people accept that class counters are part of Classic but at least you normally have a chance - with good luck and skill you can still overcome your class counter.
Fighting Hunters just feels bad. If you can’t peel from the pet, you lose. It’s not intuitive or fun.
Gonna be honest, I find it hard to sympathize with someone when their main argument is “my class isn’t OP you’re just bad!”
I don’t think you know what viable means.
Maybe You need to learn Your class?
edit:
i have 99 parses in bfd not using the cookie cutter mm melee weave youtube builds rather my own bm sniper training creation and have been in sod youtube/twitch tourneys. i know the class pretty well.
The best cat is a 2.0 speed one for max flanking strike and prowl damage.
Test with my 1.2 cat and 2.0 cat. 2.0 cat gives more dmg. And it seems 2.0 cat gets more crit on its abilities than 1.2 cat. Which gives me possibility to use trap launcher or mana regen
yay more noobs. they don’t crit more bud they crit less. you both clearly don’t play a hunter in classic era. the added benefit of having a pet hit your enemy every .7 seconds and making that noise of being hit in their ear far far far outweighs any extra damage caused by harder hitting flanking strike or prowl. you know the entire reason why people choose zg bats as their pvp pet over broken tooth in pvp is because bats have screech which is more annoying of a noise than bite or claw. also with 1.0 attack speed you do have greater pushback on spell casts (not half as important) and you only have to place 3/5 points into frenzy to maintain constant uptime which means thats two more combo points to put elsewhere. once you play the game more you will figure out what im talking about.
Hunter pet scaling was completely gutted last phase. Pets are basically as strong as they were at 25 right now.
Lightning breath hits for the same amount as it did at level 25 as it does at level 40 bud.
no cats right now are stronger than scorpids were in phase 1 because they can open from stealth which makes them non cc-able. it sucks because i miss being able to use different pets. now we’re stuck with the same old classic era meta.
edit: cats are relatively as oppressive as scorpids were in terms of damage because of beastial wrath. everyone is obsessed with flanking strike when bestial wrath + kill command on a stealth opener on a cat practically solo’s people.
You do realize you’re playing a mage right?
???
Are you new to classic, it has ALWAYS been this way.
