(Feign Death) Notice to all Hunters concerning PvP

You mean like Reckoning bombs? Or Windfury proccing windfury?

I don’t think it worked 100% of the time, but if batching is having this effect they should work on something to get the actual way it worked closer. It’s a pretty big deal to hunter pvp.

Unlimited Reck bombing was removed prior to 1.12 - irrelevant.

I understand the concerns but I don’t care. Feign Death was always an extremely lame mechanic in PvP. Hopefully Blizzard corrects that in their second go-around here.

I played a hunter from launch all the way through multiple expansions. It was my primary experience in Vanilla and I can tell you theres a LOT of random crap that’s not right with hunters. Pet pathing was always an issue, but nothing like this. There are multiple weird graphical bugs, activating pet abilities are inconsistant, auto cast on pet abilities doesn’t follow the same system it did in vanilla, the list goes on.

And yes, I can confirm, as a hunter who PVP’d extensively in Vanilla, that a recall pet/FD/Trap spamacro worked unless your opponent was savvy to it and was able to target you in that microsecond between activations and put you back in combat, which was extremely rare.

Let’s take one thing at a time. We knew that Hunter was the hardest class for them to recreate, but FD Trap is easily the most important when it comes to PvP.

learn to trap because it works fine.

I don’t know how but if I can get a video I’ll link it here because I am having 0 issues.

It’s not a matter of trapping. It’s using that millisecond of time after a FD to be able to trap in PvP. I see a lot of people are confused about what the issue even is.

I think someone is going to have to make a video that shows the before an after. We have plenty of footage from Vanilla on how it SHOULD work. Just need to visually compare it to present.

Well I hope you opened a bug report in the classic bug report subforum.

Unless something changed between the last week of Beta and now it was working just fine. There are countless youtube videos of it. Or go watch one the dueling tournament from Beta, there was a lengthy discussion about how it works.

like i said earlier. i can fd trap in pvp any classes. a rogue open me fd trap no problem. you are clearly doing somethnig wrong.

I know exactly what you mean and I have seen the footage in question. The problem with that is it apparently didn’t make it to live.

Yep, the whole hunter class is pretty broken. As much as I love the vanilla hunter class, classic hunter just makes me wish I’d rolled a mage instead. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Do you know this from personal experience or just hear say?

Hunter is a dead PvP class if they dont fix this

anyone saying you couldn’t FD directly into a trap in vanilla is full of crap. You didn’t need a macro, you could do it instantly. This literally breaks Hunter if it isn’t fixed. I’m not even playing one and it pisses me off.
