Hunters were behind Warriors, Rogues, and Mages in DPS. Why nerf?

Wut. Behind mages?!

The highest mages have better parses than highest hunter, but 100th hunters does like 25 dps more than 100th mage. Short fights + high crit rate mages will get a good parse. That does seem to show evidence that in great gear, fire mages will likely be really good.

Turtle boss also artificially inflates casters.

Well, first of all they weren’t behind all those classes.

You’re not nerfed. You’re just not completely autopilot with your pet now and actually have to press buttons.

Why not just nerf pet damage in WSG since that’s what 99% of complaints are and leave everything else

Vanilla class balance is tied to your open world, battleground and raid ability. If you don’t like it…don’t play vanilla?

Competitive raids will take the highest dps classes, comparing your parse to others is not stupid at all, and for you to think it is is laughably stupid.

How exactly do you handle taking 250 dmg every 1.5 seconds from a Range instant. Logic.

100 hunters appear from the shadows claiming they’re now the lowest DPS class and 100% of their runes are unusable. Their second favorite go-to is PvE parse logs in a lvl 25 raid are the only thing that matter and PvP in the open world and BGs is for silly people.

I’m pretty sure what’s going on in the average hunter’s mind is something like this, “hahaha me likey do 120dps with white shooty shoot and pet smacky hahaha me likey.”

because rank 1 parses on 20 second level 25 fights are a joke.

stop checking warcraft logs every second of every day, play the class you like and it will be fine.

Hunter’s and Hunter pets are stupidly obnoxious in PVP right now and it needs tuned down before you can be buffed/changed in any other area.

I’m pretty sure if I put my pet on defensive and afk with my back to a wall my pet could beat literally any melee class before they killed me.

mages? what? their dps is even behind shaman
also why would a braindead ranged classes even be above paladin in dps, of course melee specs should be at the top aswell because ranged dont have to deal with any mechanics just stand and hit buttons

its not even right that hunter is where its at now, top 3 hunter/warrior/rogue need toned down for sure

What’s wrong with BM hunter pets being actual threats except for the fact that classic players can’t handle it?
What about going the retail route and giving BM hunters actual abilities that increase pet dps? It feels like they are nerfing the main selling point of the spec just to keep the shallow classic gameplay.

Because the pets were op. Which is obvious to anyone who plays the game.

You know I really wish they would add windfury damage onto the ferals in details and for logs.

It’s not about how much damage you do it’s about how much damage you bring to the raid.

So yeah warriors are more likely OP in raids, literally the one spot they get to shine though.

They also need the correct conditions

They really need to stop these drastic changes in the middle of the phase. Make adjustments to runes in later phases to compensate if you have to, but allowing players who happened to roll a class early to have a different, easier, better experience than players that roll it now/later, is unfair.

nah. Its a new game and new games have balance changes.

They really need to remove kings from hunter pets. They’re essentially triple dipping.

Not true check your on thread. They do not get anywhere near what you think they do from hunter kings.

i actually used chimera shot for abit and its rather fun (if that is such a thing playing a hunter) to time your serpent sting ticks to refresh burst on a chimera shot. The main problem (why i stopped using it) i was oom after 3 shots.

Serpent sting is so trash.

It does LITERALLY 4 DPS.
