They gonna end up having their class destroyed too, cuz u know blizzard balancing team
People don’t even know the changes yet aside from the Scorpid damage redistribution, the hysteria is hilarious but I really do hope it makes people stop playing the class.
well to be fair i think hunter is the most fun ranged class regardless of its damage

I have mained hunter since actual vanilla. But i still dont want it to be a dumpster fire.
I would expect the only class not able to heal or tank to at least be A teir dps though.

You are cherry picking top individual performances (outliers), of which hunters are included I might add, rather than the actual performance of classes as a while. On average hunters are the top dps and it’s frankly not even close.
I wouldn’t. “Pure” DPS being on top has literally never been a thing in any iteration of WoW, except for TBC.
Scorpions will be heavily nerfed, and only good for longer boss fights. We know pets will have less stamina and armor. We know wind serpents will be worse. We know we can use aspect of the hawk and lion aura at the same time, which is an slight buff. We know something changed to melee hunters but nobody cares.
Other than that, everything else is an assumption.
Aspect of the Lion change is a nerf. You lose 10% stats but now you can use Hawk (35 attak power). I’d rather have 10% stats.
Oh, I didn’t read anywhere that we’re losing the extra 10% stats.

95th percentile rogues are top, followed by hunter, and warrior right behind them and rogues and warriors scale FAR better with gear, which will put them ahead of hunters very soon even without the nerfs.
Sooo. Again you are wrong.

because we won’t
People are massively overreacting. Hunters will still be in every single raid, and will never get turned down for a dungeon group, simply because they deal incredibly good physical damage from the safety of 40 yds.
They didnt announce the removal of the extra 10% stats from the hunter from lion. But… i wouldnt put it past blizzard to leave that part out.
That’s some real wishful thinking there.
why did you even assume we will lose our 10% adittional stat increase? did you dream about it?
I’ve played Hunter before, so I know how these things work with Blizzard. Welcome to the class.
oh, I suppose you really dreamed about it

It’s inevitable that the extra 10% to stats that hunters get will get nerfed. I’d rather they just do it now tbh. +20% stats and with 15% agility in the survival tree will be over the top later with high end gear.
These words really make me realize they don’t know what they are doing
No. Just buff the other playstyles. Pets will still be doing great DPS, you’ll be running Lion + Hawk and your pet will do more damage, and you’ll be getting DPS buffs from Quick Shots. The damage is going to be relatively similar to the way it was before, but without janky Scorpid Front-Loaded damage. BM is the last thing that needs to be buffed on Hunter. The other playstyles need love right now.
