What was the change with Lion that we don’t need Hawk? I missed the notes I guess.
We are back to specing for MM aimed shot. And doing middle to low dps compared to everyone else.
Good thing we can only dps…
At leat our runes are fun and exiting right? Right???..
This is a legitimate argument.
This is not.
Lion is now an aura and you can use hawk with lion. Which makes the improved aspect of the hawk talent bis again.
Sure it is. Blizzard already nerfed pets ability to tank by a lot. And i garentee it will get nerfed again.

So we don’t need to activate it as an aspect? Is that coming in after reset? Pretty good, yeah.
are people over reacting or is hunter really trash now?
It’s not a legitimate argument because even if it were 100% true that hunters “bring nothing but dps” and that was unique to hunters, it still wouldn’t justify doing too much damage. If anything it’s an argument that they should bring something else.
i personaly cant wait to try lion aura with aspect of the hawk but then again that in the 19 pvp bracket it probably going to hurt more lvl 25
Blessing of kings is the top buff in the game. And for horde you are the only class that gives it. 10 mans will be more of a thing and that means even for alliance, the paladins can give out other buffs.
Your pet was a better tank than tanks… You must have a very strange idea of good game health and balance if you think pets having better mitigation than tanks is okay.
Sorry you are disillusioned and do not understand good game balance…
Well hunters are getting another nerf to our last viable spec (to the point it puts MM spec ahead of it according to the numbers i have looked at) AND basically everything that was under bm hunter is getting buffed.
I dont think hunters will be dead last, but it will be on the low end.

The focus needs to get back to making things fun. Passive pet damage is not fun. Pet nerfs were necessary if you want a chance for things to be fun in the future.
It isnt to much damage. Hunters were not even the top dps.
But hubters just got another nerf that made MM the best spec now, while other classes got massive buffs.
Hunters will be near the bottom for dps now. As a dps only class while every other class can also tank or heal.
So its reasonable to want the only class that can only dps to at least be in A or S teir for that purpose. Now we will be C teir or very low B teir.
Every parse I have seen posted would disagree.
The problem was the bm rune.
What they needed to do was remove the 30% bonus hp from it and change it to avoidance for less aoe damage.
The base scaling wasnt really the issue.

The problem wasn’t the BM rune. It was the fact that Marksman specced Hunters could also use the BM rune, so they had a powerful tanky pet, and did huge burst damage. But people don’t think about how much the person they don’t even realize is blasting them from afar is doing to them, they just see the pet and assume that it’s the pet that is destroying them.
Aimed shot can do what the damage that pet did in 10 seconds in 4.5

1 hunter in the top 10. Warrior is first spot.
This is before the nerfs.
After the nerfs to hunter pets and the buffs for almost everyone else coming today hunters will be c teir or low b.
Also remember boss resistances also got lowered, making casters even better without the buffs to them.
I’m glad Hunters got nerfed. Get off my class, FOTM rerollers. Go back to Warrior/Rogue/Paladin

FOTM rerollers wouldn’t have rolled a hunter, they would roll a warrior, warlock or paladin. Cause those are the three classes that are gonna be ridiculously strong at max level, and will be hard to nerf correctly.
