Season 4 Survival Hunter Tier Set Problems and Feedback, CC from Community Council

This means you have to stop AoEing and instead do raptor/mongoose bites on 5+ target cleave. This never feels good.

@Altani-mannoroth

It feels fine and is fine. It just means your AoE is balanced around more focus-target damage, in turn allowing for a higher target-cap before becoming problematic.

We’re hunters. Why should we be battlefield cleavers without any target focus beyond the 40% extra WFB damage to primary target (itself a new effect)?

Heck, I like Poison Injectors specifically for that interaction.

I wrote this in the Community Council posting as a reply to others there, here is the link to that forum post. The original posting is a copy pasta, but we did talk a bit more regarding the charge system and variability there, so potentially a helpful read.

The only saving grace to those 20 seconds I would even think about as a remedy if nothing were to change is: Make Poison Injection remove on 2-3 targets at a time when you Mongoose/Raptor? That way you aren’t completely wasted on AoE and can at least do priority/small cleave.

I mean the answer should be that you play Carve for that situation because it’s not the situation that Butchery is designed for.

which was the correct answer during BFA, where we also had poison injections, and played Carve. Again, this is a current design flaw, and the S1/S4 tier set makes it more of a hindrance. There are several ways they can remedy/make the rotation on AoE more fun with the inclusion of the S1/S4 tier set, and I hope they can listen to the player base regarding this. I don’t care about the damage, as I mentioned before.

Funnily, as of yesterday when TWW alpha got NDA removal, one of the Hero Talent trees, Pack Leader, has an immediate resolution to the issue that I’m clamoring about.
