Okay I have to ask what kind of drugs you are on. World pvp isn’t at all serious and if it was, in mass pvp hunter is absolutely useless even with explosive shot in an unnerfed state or scorpid, a mage can just living bomb an entire raid and kill everyone. Hunter was used as the puller in classic and that’s the main reason they were brought outside of tranq. In pvp hunters were only taken to sit afk at flags and weren’t allowed in team fights.
Unless I read it wrong, scorpids are getting nerfed. The dmg is being reduced and it also only will benefit from hunter AP after 5 stacks have been applied. Am I reading that wrong or isn’t that a nerf to hunter scorpids?
rip the hunter class. they took away the one last thing that made us even viable. and didnt really leave us any options to look for damage with skill. thanks blizzard

Its 100% a nerf, the reason hunters were so “deadly” in pvp was we could send a pet to poison and almost maintain 1 stack on 3 targets. It takes 20 seconds to ramp up to 5 stacks which also misses quite often and by then the hunter should already be dead and even if it isn’t the pet will have reduced health and armor for the people without enough braincells to simply hibernate, sheep, or fear the pet which they could already be doing.
Ok just making sure I wasn’t bad at reading because I see so many replies in this thread and other posts saying hunter pets didn’t get nerfed this upcoming patch. Was confusing me a bit lol.
PLEASE ADD SOLO QUEUE FOR BGS. IVE RAN 8 BGS AND LOST 8 BGS IT IS NOT FUN AT ALL.

you mean… use more Cow bell… everyone needs more cowbell
Yeah… I use “the rake” on my horde troll hunter and i use a random spider on my night elf hunter, both use “bite” which is great but once I start using claw with bite on my rake his focus is always empty. I was able to solo WC on my troll for the pants (I suck at rolls) glad I got them when I did, I actually enjoyed BM but now I guess hunters are a “tank” according tot he blue comment… I’m not sure where to find the shield rune, hopefully I can equip 2 shields cuz I get hit once and I go splat haha
still confused on that part… I posted in looking for group hunter tank LFG and everyone laughed at me

The hunter pet will still have the capability to tank an add or two when things get a little crazy. They don’t want to make it completely useless.

no, the nerf’d the hunter pets so the hunter can tank… they want hunters to tank… its right there in the quote… My troll hunter has more armor and hps than my rake pet granted im in very good gear but 2 days ago my pet had twice the hps and 3 times the armor
Pets were unable (and still are unable) to attack people in half of the arena maps in WotLK due to bugs and exploits. This hasn’t been fixed or addressed for over a year now.
However, if a pet is even a smidgeon too strong, its nerfed immediately, 7 times over, with ruthless impunity, on a daily and hourly basis. There hasn’t ever been 7 nerfs on a single class within a timespan of a week, in the history of World of Warcraft, in any expansion, ever. Period. Something is off here.
The abuse this company deals out to hunter players is astounding and intentional. It’s borderline psychopathic and malicious.
There is clearly someone inside the development team that is emotionally scarred and battered by a hunter. I feel bad for them and wish them a healthy life and to stop seeking retribution by using their professional career as an attempt to harm other human beings in real life.
Aside from the mental health concerns of Blizzard developers, the hunter class is completely useless in SoD.
None of the runes do anything. Explosive shot and chimera shot are strictly worse than serpent sting and multi shot. Everything else is some % passive modifier with some conditional that is unrealistic to meet. The entire class is literally a copy paste of Vanilla hunter with a 10% stat mod on the hunter and a 30% damage mod on the pet. An absolute joke. 0 thought or energy went into this class and it shows.
Just disable the creation of hunters and delete all hunters please, as the class is clearly not ready for release or for people to be playing it.

agreed. Since they changed the rules of the game (aka nerfing hunters over and over and over and over and over and before the game started a huge giant nerf to start the ball of nerfs on hunters)… they need to reset SOD to fresh (everyone level 1) so we hunters can create a class Bliz wants us to play… so crappy and I was only using the rake (cat and a normal spider and a bear sometimes as pets)… I get punished for a few people that used some scorpid pet… heres a thought… make scorpid pets not tameable by hunters or… look out… disable the poison dot or just nerf’d the dot down to your level per tick… so if you are level 25… have the dot cap at 25 damage a tick… (which actually still sounds pretty powerful)

Does this mean it’s worth to have a feral druid and rogue duoing in wpvp for the mangle & saber slash combo?
Wont change the fact that the faction imbalance is getting worse day by day.
For who? /10char
Fixed due to actual Facts.
Maybe don’t use it until kelris if you’re that scared… or just see t not die to a random mechanic… the raid is easy
Lol, never played a warlock I see.

Buff and Nerf until all classes are equal. Is this the slow slippery slope to retail? You know how this ends.
They’ve already ruined the fun for hunters, now someone else is next.

Why do you not change Flanking Strike to have its CD reduced each time Raptor Strike is used.
I’ve only been able to get 3 stacks ONCE. And I’ve been using melee every time I gain a level. – Gotta keep those weapon skills up.
I’m “giddy” if I can get it to two stacks.
