Raptor strike

You are clearly not playing melee hunter to say that. ANY melee class can be played with 2/3 buttons, then if you want to do higher DPS you add more to the mix, fish for procs, etc. This is is true for all melees.

Oh myā€¦ choices for supporting group. The bane of the retail player.

Iā€™ll have to drop windfury totem when Grace of Air would be much better for my class and Windfury does nothing for me.

ok but not every melee class is as obscenely overpowered as melee hunter

I donā€™t think you understand viper is the macroscopic version of the consumed by rage rune and it shows

Yeahā€¦ the
ā€œI am just 20% betterā€
and
ā€œWhatā€™s a mana bar?ā€ abilities should probably have SOME sort of choice between them.

ARE YOU FOR REAL?

Did you forgot p1 already? Do you want to have the same conversation at the end of the phase when WARs will be back on top?

The amount of bad faithā€¦ Unbelievable

no i am saying we normally get an effective 169% damage raptor strike, which viper takes to 152% every 45-60 seconds for 10 seconds. after /cancelaura viper we are taken back to 169%. how is this different than treating the mana bar as the consumed by rage buff? if we used lion as an aspect, we would lose out on damage every rotation instead of the current meta (again, /cancelaura)

this is the same as consumed by rage but on a larger rotation scale

PS - OH i should add that my original point was that THE ENTIRE RAIDS HP would dip by 10% then increase by 10%, wasting healers mana because we had to viper

Riiiight. I will wait for you to say that the real problem for you is that WAR are not on top for the first time in Vanilla history and you cannot deal with it, even for half a phase until they get gear.

It already was nerfed once.

Plus itā€™s not particular oppressive in PVP given the ranged one shot meta soā€¦ mega nerfs feel pretty unwarranted.

And Iā€™m certain if MM got any sort of compensatory buff, weā€™d still have warrs crying on the forums about how they canā€™t catch hunters and how pets do too much damage and yadda yadda yadda same old whining.

you call that a nerf? :expressionless:
it will be nerfed again

yep, exactly. Pet damage is not ok, Ranged damage is not ok, Melee damage is not ok. Some people hate hunters so much they will simply not accept anything else than total deletion of hunters.

Even after 17 nerfs it is still not ok, when casters can nuke you in 3 sec from Pluto.

so tru arcane mages are stupid, 2700 crits should be removed

  1. They need to fix the cancel aura twisting
  2. I guess youā€™d just need to stay Lion, or coordinate with another hunter to have their Lion up when you viper so you donā€™t grief the raid.

Hunters, even after ā€œzomg 18 nerfsā€ are still the 2nd most babied class in SoD, right behind Priest.

And it shows.

Reeks of making choices like the rest of us mere peasants. Itā€™s SoD, not retail.

They had the right idea in it starting as an Aspect- but they caved to hunters malding that they couldnā€™t be 20% better AND ALSO have their R-AP aspect too.

I seem to remember Warriors parsing 100 DPS higher on average than even the second highest DPS. Warriors were god tier damage in Phase 1. I think most people can agree itā€™s time for Warriors to take a backseat in Classic and adopt the tank shield. Time to be what you all were meant to beā€¦pure tank class.

Yeah, because the stupidly overpowered nature of that was overtaken by something even more overpowered.

Grats?

(Psst: if it was an aspect, you could make a case to the raid not to run it due to the DPS loss to the more overpowered runeā€¦ :wink: )

Toodles

ohhhh noooo an ele shaman is talking about how other classes are op!
