Hunters are officially useless, thanks Blizzard

I did, Carve isn’t good and Flanking Strike doesn’t do much damage either. It has a very long CD if Raptor doesn’t proc it for free.

As a 16 I’ve gotten several 120-150dmg swings off of Carve, key is you have to use a two handed.

That’s very low DPS compared to other classes, and BM for gloves is better for utility and longer fights with pet DPS but also very low DPS as well.

Not 80% though is the point

Explosive Shot meant we didn’t have to play Aimed Shot. It greatly improved the Hunter playstyle experience at lower levels before Aimed Shot is even available, and at higher levels so we don’t have to take that 2 second cast.

Back to send pet - autoshot gameplay.

Melee hunter us broken and clearly shows blizz have no idea how the class even works.

I dont think useless is the right word…

Pretty sure raids will want one hunter to give aspect of the lion to all the other dps…

On a serious note, hunters will still be fine, they were doing multiplicatively more damage then other dps.

Hunters don’t scale though. Have you even played era? Hunters at 25 always did really high dps.

Lion shouldnt be an aspect period

Completely agree

It’s a seasonal server who cares I’m sure it would balance out next phase - you can’t complete the raids stacking all hunters anyway

Aspect of the lion has to be one of the worst designed rune yet, imagine if King was a seal instead of a simple buff, forcing you to use that seal just so your group has the buff, preventing you to use your main seal, or worst yet…putting the buff on and off during combats just because you seal dance.

In other words, the rune should apply the kings buff to any aspect instead of having a dedicated aspect to it.

The worst part about it is that we have massive mana problems at this level and chim shot makes it even worse. Chim so also got a bad nerf which made 0 sense as well. Imagine having a rune in a game that does less than auto attack damage. Awesome design. Now we revert back to playing like we do in classic era. Count me out

They were doing like 10 more dps nowhere near 3-4x

So basically cast lions, and sit there and AA til the cows come home. Sound super fun!

You do understand that playstyle is different that damage. Not all of us give a sheckle about parses but about playstyle. Its not exactly fun to have the pet play the game for you. “It does more damage” idgaf. Not all of us care about hyper optimizing. I’d rather es just be a 3 sec dot that shares a cd with arcane shot rather than the implementation we have now.

Once gain read the title of the thread, I didnt come here to argue playstyle lol.

WT actual F… ok you had SOME sympathy from me until you crossed the line of “oh everyone ELSE gets new ways to play but us… waaah waaaah.”

Why dont you take 10 seconds and look at the Paladin runes, then take a nice long drink out of a stf Cup.

Paladins get LITERALLY nothing. Nothing. We get NOTHING. We get a ghetto af dps attack that does 9 damage. to 1 mob. … oh and a TAUNT! SO HARDCORE! I mean… OMG! Paladins play SO different and powerful now!

Oh and we get a rune that gives a raid a whole 6 minute buff… but it doesnt stack with our 5 minute buff that we ALREADY get!

Oh OH!!! And lets not forget the SUPER AWESOME POWERFUL rune that kills US faster than it kills the Mobs!! WHO WOULDNT WANT THAT?!?!

/facepalm.

You need to stop talking. Now. You got what was needed. Join the rest of the playerbase and get off yer high horse.

A pally taunt is huge for tanking.
