Nothing changed, steady shot still sits collecting dust in a hunters rune inventory. I do suggest they continue with such meaningless tweaks though if they are able to lure individuals such as yourself to be like: See! They still did a weekly update! Anyone playing hunter saw this as more of a slap in the face than anything and would have preferred nothing. It only revealed that sod truly was abandoned for cata.

At this point, I’m inclined to agree - they had posted notes by now last week. Sadly, it looks like they no longer have the benefit of the doubt.
At least they managed to nerf the xxxx out of hunters
Steadyshot does 75% more damage. That is a change, even if it is not substantive - and yes, it doesn’t change how hunters play. It is still a change to the game.
I play hunter, and while I agree that SS shot wasn’t enough of a buff to warrant its use, I also am not as ignorant as some to claim they made no changes, either.
I went back to wrath and I’m enjoying it more. SoD kind of reminds you how good wotlk really is.
He can’t seem to understand this

I understand, it’s just not relevant.
They’ll hype cata and work on it… its gonna be a 2 month thing and it will be at player count level of Classic Hardcore.
People should invest in playing alts. It’s a big draw for SoD and the investment is enough to sink your teeth into.
Leveling, rune collection, epic gear questlines, and then gearing up with STV and raid. Theres plenty to do.
that would be alot more incentivized if every classes kit was actually good / fun this phase.
EG: I have 4 toons - Pally, Warrior, Rogue, Mage
I was super engaged on Warrior/Rogue/Mage i p1, raided almost every lockout on all 3, got them all wsg exalted.
I swapped to paladin main this phase because my group needed a 2nd consistent healer, and warriors p1 runes got drilled into the ground (my p1 main).
- warriors only runes this phase in terms of damage make slam instant (both of them) in different ways… while still having to deal with crappy cbr rage management and giga armor/bleed reduction on gnomer bosses (and globaled in pvp for sure)
- rogue kit is literally 1 button with dagger mut build this phase… doesn’t bring any raid buffs so finding a raid at all is challenging/frustrating and isn’t the “s tier” dps that it should be to make up for that lack of buff/utility (this is the 2nd character I got to 40 - good for 1v1’s but easily countered in team fight scenarios)
- mages are cool and kit is fine… but that also means there are the most of these alts in my guild and I don’t really feel pressed to level this up - especially now that living flame has been nerfed for solo play farming.
-Enh is fotm and is obviously the most attractive alt to level right now; but who wants to start over with 0 gold, 0 banks, 0 everything on a different server (unless its everyone in the case of a fresh launch) just to have an enjoyable alt experience?
Imo runes are too tied to specs as just an “added capstone” instead of something that could just be an overall integral benefit to the class. (doing that would be more difficult than just saying as much)
hoping based on the tweet from the 17th that Aggrend intends to share some p3 news with us within the next day or two
I snorted a little bit. GG.
You don’t, it’s okay
They claim because the Steady Shot wasn’t buffed enough, there was no update at all.
Which absolutely the dumbest hot take one can take.
Especially since there was more to the update than just that one thing:
Now, if you want to claim they didn’t do enough on that update, you’d have no complaint from me - but that isn’t what they were accused of: they were accused of no patch notes/updates since March 5th, which is demonstrably false.
Yesterday marked the first time that there was no update or balance pass of any kind in a week.
Cya!

Only people that want so desperately to be right think that literally.
Obviously they made changes, but not enough for anyone to change what is currently happening or what they’re doing in game. It shows they don’t know what they’re doing and/or don’t care. People want meaningful, thought-out changes.
Sure, you’re right… but no one cares. It’s been two weeks since a real change in-game has occurred. What a disgrace.

People have been making the same complaints about blizz for 15 years. If your spouse cheated on you 1000 times and you kept telling them not to I mean, who is really to blame?
Just unsubscribe from the game like the millions of other people who have self-respect and let blizzards suck the whales dead dry. Don’t be one of the whales and continue to pay your subscription when you’re not getting anything for it that you deem Worth It
