Odd. Im almost positive the pet has to be in melee range to hit you. I guess im wrong though
Wow, so you mean they press 1 button and their pet that moves faster than any player gets there in a second or 2!?
That is definitely comparable to casters being interrupt and having casts rolled back when hit and melee having to deal with kiting and being in melee range to deal any damage. /S
Warlocks are only overpowered in one-on-ones so that deflection doesn’t work with what you just said. Also, team effort, yeah. That’s why every 10 made premade has 2-4 hunters with scorpids.
Its as if you dont understand that the pet can be CCed and the hunter has NO WAY of countering that?
CC the pet and the hunter just lose 70% of his damage. CC it before it gets to you. Or slow it. Or in group content, blow it up.
There is clear counterplay. Is it overtuned? A little yes. But most of that issue is the pet getting full RaP scaling on 1 stack instead of 5. Thats the part that needs to be fixed. They also need to remove the 30% bonus hp to pets from the bm rune and just gove it avoidance from wotlk instead so it takes reduced aoe damage.
Yes it should be tuned a bit. But it doesnt need a huge nerf. The hubter is investing every possible bonus into the pet, it should be strong.
Sounds like bad premades. I haven’t been in any premades and went against several and even beat some of them. The usual premade comp is 1 warrior, 2 paladins, 1 druid for FC, 2 priests, a mage, then rest hunters, maybe substituting a rogue in.
But sounds like you are just part of the problem trying to hold onto the time of being absolutely busted.
It’s like you don’t understand Blizzard themselves have already said hunter pets are broken and they are looking at how to fix them after reverting the previous hasitly done hotfixes.
pet can be CCed
Just like any other player class can pretty much. So what you’re saying is pet so dangerous and OP it needs to be treated like a warrior and sheep’d and you think it’s somehow a ‘counter’ that people have to treat your pet like an outright warrior player.
NO WAY of countering that?
You mean like most player character have no way of counter CC, again especially at 25, short of maybe 2 min pvp trinket or Forsaken racial? So basically you saying only a mage can counter a Hunter’s busted pet at 25 and even at 60 most can’t CC the pet really. So every non-CC class is just gonna auto die to some single button attack pet then huh? Oh yea, balanced. Rofl.
When the challenge is CC hunter pet or you lose it isn’t a challenge. Players die in a HoJ. CCing a pet only reduces some of the incoming damage, not all of it, and not doing so means you automatically lose is not balanced.
leave hunter pets alone thanks, we are playing full bm talents and bm runes, hunters are actually pretty balanced right now. no hunter pet nerfs inc, because its not needed, stop complaining and get better.
A druid can Litterally keep a hunters pet CCed for eternity.
Between entanlging roots and hibernate.
It can be sheeped then frost nova
It can be feared
It can be slowed
It can be stunned
It can be taunted to pull it off your ally or force it to stay in longer as you kill it.
Almost every available CC works on the pet to control it in some way.
Control the pet and that bm hunter is dealing 70% less damage or more, because as you chase him, he cant auto shot while running, he has a deadzone to abuse as well, cant trap in combat, etc.
I wouldn’t pull ratings because anyone says “I am not broken, you just lack skill” despite everyone not in denial says it is broken, including devs, is not a valid viewpoint to consider.
