Why are hunters getting nerfed again? This is I think the 4th nerf the class has gotten since no longer being top dps on wcl metrics. When did the class tuning team, all 1 of them, start doing tunings based off of connotative decisions and not data/numerical metrics? “We feel like pets are still too strong because we saw a clip of literal baboons getting 1v5’d by a hunter pet”. The issue is they don’t know how to do more than 1 action per minute, not that hunter pets are op.
Just a casual reminder that the 20’s bracket is when hunters are suppose to be the best (in vanilla wow without runes of course) relative to the other class strength at that level. I guess we all just forget so now without future major reworks or totally overpowered runes that will also get nerfed we’ll just be unplayable competitively. Hunters have always started out strong around 20 and fall behind the other classes due to gear/stat scaling. Why can mages solo current level dungeons in 1-3 pulls, warlocks can solo raid bosses, but GOD FORBID hunter doesn’t have a nearly useless pet.
The bots are now in control of class tuning as well boys, o7

5th nerf…how could Blizz have been so incompetent to even allow this type if imbalance at release…
You sound pretty emotional right now my guy.

I bet you get told how to do your job at work all the time. How could you be so incompetent?
Thanks for the advice, but, I’m having too much fun playing SoD to quit now.
It might be better than vanilla but so is every other class. What has Hunter received that makes it competitive and more interesting than its vanilla version?
Rogues, Warlocks and Shaman can tank now. Mages can heal and are still AoE farming gods. Balance is actually competitive. Paladins have their WotLK kit. Warriors still top damage. Priests still the best healers. And hunters are, relatively, “better” than vanilla, but still a mediocre dps class. The only pure dps class.
When your pet stops being a tank shaman on a leash with full ele BIS equivalent shocks every 2 second and permanent ghost wolf speed that can solo people.

what are you talking about? Have you never had a hunter pet tank any of the raid bosses? It does a pretty damn good job. It might not be able to output the best threat, but I feel like it tanks bosses better then the tanks do lol, and it has taunt, so man is it a great off-tank.
there was no beta or PTR remember? We’re literally in the proverbial fog of war.
Hunters are the top dps in like 65% of parces. Not the top 25% that goes to warriors.
Some 500hp mage died to a wind serpent and cried on the forums, gotta nerf hunters… Again
The nerf isn’t because of PVE you goon.
