Is it because of balancing? I did actually quit during early Legion, mostly because I had thought of artifact weapons as items that strongly enforced single-specs for all content, and had decided that that would be the expansion and phase that I mained feral. I was very jealous of how well WW monks performed in all content, Raids, Mythic+, PVP in what would be a similar or the same spot.
IIRC, I even had a mail exchange with a customer service rep who asked me how Balance was, which was pretty much when I decided I was done. Looking back on that time now, it was a mindset that I had, not really what the game was about that made it feel like I was pigeon holed into a particular class/spec that wasn’t performing the way I wanted it to. And it wasn’t even too long after that that it was reworked to perform much better.
Anyway, looking at warcraft logs, the changes to hunters announced in:
don’t really make much sense, in my opinion. But, I’ll keep playing hunter and I’ll probably keep enjoying it.
