literally nobody is against that(reasonable non trolls anyway)
explo was broken and needed immediate attention to fix.
same with scorpid poison.
have you actually used other pets since the scorpid nerf and general pet buff? no?
because a lot of hunters are saying they are STRONGER now.
Hunters definitely been a little disappointing, especially when I look at classes like Lock, Pala, Rogue, Shaman.
I guess, pretty much everyone else who got fancy new toys. And our toys got taken away since Blizz canāt properly take a second to balance numbers.
I,ve had scorp, serpent, and now using cat, im not talking about our DPS, the thread is talking about how BORING the top DPS runes are, they are all PASSIVE
Ok ya pets are better now but we are talking about runes here and how they donāt change our gameplay .
Gear wonāt really matter since it always takes 16% mana to cast one. Unless they give us ways to get mana back.
I donāt think youāre really understand what OP is talking about. Heās not talking about numbers, heās talking about gameplay.
Since Explosive and Chimera got gutted, weāre now taking Beast Mastery (a passive) that doesnāt our class. Aspect of the Lion is just too good, and so our chest slot (which would otherwise have some interesting choices like Lone Wolf or Master Marksman) is just locked I to another passive. And our leg slot has sniper training, an absolutely horrible Rune, or Kill Command, which is now a barely useful 1min CD that is only compatible with a few pets.
Anyway, I was pumping in BFD last night. From a numbers perspective, hunters are still fine. From a gameplay and choice perspective, weāve gotten obliterated.
Kill command is now about 1-2 DPS. Flanking strike, strictly speaking, is now our best leg rune by far. And itās not very good.
if how the class plays is boring to you even though its still strong and good dps, sounds like u should play a different class
thanks for adding to the discussion, you have no idea what we are talking about, clearly
THIS, Hunters absolutely need more ways to actually not rely on our pet for 90% of our damage. Hunter Runes that actually buff HUNTER damage and not the pets need complete rework and buffs.
Keep in mind that this is classicā¦ No content is hard or ācompetitiveā. None of us on the forums are āWorld firstā caliberā¦ The raid is easy, just as all raids will be. Thereās no M+ meta to be sought after, itās not retail, classes are not meant to be balanced perfectly one to the other, the only thing that matters is that nothing makes the game unfun, like the pets have been until the latest changes.
Either you consider it a nerf or not, the BM gameplay needed to take a chill pill with how efficient it was and unfun both for the hunter and the rest of the group.
Now, can the hunter runes and SoD gameplay be improved? Absolutely, it does feel a lot like what weāve been used to. I feel like there will be a very strong option for melee in the comming phase, but as for now at 25, itās not really complete just yet.
That said, I canāt wait to see what new runes we will have next, I hope they are more impactful on the gameplay aspect.
you said its BORING FOR YOU to play passive runes that are good and strong dps. that is a YOU problem. not the game.
not to mention who knows what else will be added in the future
And if youāre not cool with pets deleting you instead of the Hunter then you should play a different game. Pretty easy.
seems like devs disagreed with you. stay mad tho
Seems like you have absolutely nothing of value to say, stay irrelevant.
Itās boring for a lot of people, I was enjoying swapping between different runes like a week ago, and having some different pet choices. Now we donāt,
So now that blizzard nerfed our other options, I should just play another class?
Thatās some great reasoning there
Dont bother with this salty loser, he must have been deleted too many times by an AI. Dude just doesnāt know how to PvP. He wonāt be of any use in this conversation.
Unless you have dank memes or an influencer with a direct line to the devs it really feels like they donāt care.
SoD was built on the statements of letting things be unbalanced or up to par with wars and playing our class a new way.
Instead weve seen repear adjustments and are back to playing era bm with cats. Yayyyy
Starsurge costs 40 mana. Mageās Living Flame costs 55, and Arcane Blast costs 35 at no stacks. Penance costs like 60? Not sure, I havenāt played Priest. Those are classes that focus on INT as a main stat.
Multishot costs 105, Chimera shot costs 65.
I donāt know why heās so aggressive, we are just saying the hunter gameplay has become boring because blizzard made the passive runes the stronger option, which is just the same as hunter in classic era. Hunter is my favourite class, donāt get his problem
