Its almost as if blizzard doesnt have 20 years worth of data… to fix this ASAP. lol
I’m going to say it again and again. The person in charge of QA for hunters and the game design for hunters … HATES BEAST MASTERY HUNTERS. They were victimized by me for 4 ENTIRE YEARS (a BM hunter). Their entire life and job is devoted to making BM HUNTERS and HUNTERS in general… VERY VERY BAD!
You are playing a game where there the developer has serious malicious intent behind their actions
If things remain as are, will the 40 cap change much in regards to other classes scaling up more vs. pets?
At the moment, hunters don’t scale. And they intentionally are nerfing the DPS of ranged weapons. In phase 1 Venomstrike was 9dps, but in original classic it was 16. They are shadow nerfing hunters in every aspect of the game, it WILL be the worst class ever, in entirety and perpetuity until the developers stop smoking crack and hating on me
Make a hunter and play what is OP.
I made one named Assistant, and his pet name is RegionalMgr. He does like 50% of my damage and it’s stupid lmao. Some classes counter them in PvP, mostly ones with easy access to a fear/CC for the pet. Pretty much cuts your damage in half. Is what it is.
It’s super annoying when you can’t easy mode hit the pet with some 30 second CC though, so I get it.
On a one minute CD. It doesn’t help when it just gets reapplied again right after, which was entirely possible because hunter pets had like 3k hp at the time, and peeling something with that much health while also dealing with the hunter shooting at you from 35 yards away isn’t the easiest task.
Are you just making up numbers or what? On my priest I have 37 spellpower unbuffed, which is a fairly decent amount for the average priest. It ticks for 66 damage, not 90. As for never dying in a 1v2 scenario, that just sounds like your opponents being terrible? I don’t know what else to tell you. Priest easily dies vs two competent dps in relatively short time.
You said pre-nerf scorpion damage, and I was getting hit for well over double your claimed hunter’s damage. So, maybe you just failed at snapshotting the damage the way other hunters were able to.
because they are they need to be nerfed to the ground
Found the people with 0 stamina in PvP. Also, while I’m on the topic, I think it’s unfair that Fire Mages do Fire Damage! And don’t get me started on Affliction Warlocks being able to do damage with DoTs!!! Rogues shouldn’t be allowed to swing weapons either!
Let s not stop with half measures, they need to DELETE both hunters AND pets.
Once and for all!

My priest has over 100+ shadow damage.

Grats on having full bis but having “significantly worse gear” than your hunter.
Full bis? You can get 100+ shadow damage off the AH.

Sure, Jan. Maybe for 50 gold+. Also, show your math since from what I’m seeing you aren’t getting close to 100 just from the AH. Regardless, most people aren’t running around with 100 shadow damage on their priests. Even if they were, their damage still doesn’t come close to prenerf scorpid damage, so it makes this whole argument moot.
I did a BFD last night and our tank died on Gamoo’rah.
Then when all hope was lost…a hunter’s valiant kitty cat started tanking and it legit tanked and finished the fight with me shooting penance’s up its butt.
We shouldn’t be nerfing hunter pet; we should give them a medal of honor.

The issue is pets in PVP, no one cares if the pets are strong in PVE.

Oh, you don’t say?
I assumed everyone was talking about pets one shotting bosses and making them look bad.
Your whole post was about BFD 
How many times do you want them nerfed… weve already seen about 4 nerfs to the class anymore and were going to be trash. Pets can be cced, outranged or just burned down. Also once you kill the pet reving him consumes more than half the hunters mana and its an insanely long cast. Pets can EASILY be outplayed if you understand even a fraction of the mechanics of game. A small nerf strictly in pvp like battle grounds i could maybe understand but any more is going to be too much.
True. Nerf hunter pets. Imagine if demo warlock pets ran around rampant doing that damage. We must stand together and nerf hunter pet abomination.
You just haven’t experienced the SUCC Meta yet.
That’s when a Warlock sucks you to death with drain life while his Succubus is whipping you.
