Oh, sorry here I thought “easier” was an adjective, a comparison.
Did I say “X classes are hard”?
No, I said “Hunter is easier”, comparatively.
So if classic classes are a 2 on a difficulty scaling rating, hunter is lower than that. Figure it out.
Going straight to personal attacks because you have absolutely no argument yourself and can’t be wrong on the internet.
Grow up buddy. It just shows how poorly situated you are to resort to ad hominem.
Take the less than graceful exit whilst you can.
Once again hunters, they are nowhere near even the strongest class. Also you nerf not only pet damage but but also pet health. Mend pet if already weak af and channeled. I dont only play hunter i currently play 4 classes 3 at lvl 25. I dont even condisder them a strong class now compared to my others.
Sod was meant to lean into class fantasy more. So a BM hunters " fantasy" is to have a weak pet that cant really be healed. Wtg blizz, at this point i think a may no longer bother with SoD

Easier than what? Spamming saber slash? Spamming divine storm and crusader strike? Spamming hamstring and heroic strike? Spamming incinerate? Spamming mangle? Hunter objectively does more than any of these classes, just by having to control 2 units and use their skills between autoshots.
They’re all braindead though.
No. It’s because your arguments are so low brow, non-arguments that it’s not even worth giving you a proper response.
Oh muh X class is easier. It just is okay. Sure every class presses just as many buttons but that one specifically is easier because I don’t like it.
That’s your argument. You get the response you deserve.

This hunter change is hilariously awful.
Shifting power from Beast Mastery on that slot makes sense. But the way you’re doing it is just terrible.
Did you consider the math on nerfing an “always up” pet buff (at this level) by 10%? To gain from that change we have to drop that rune completely that still has the remaining 20% always up buff to rune abilities on CD that were buffed by 15/25%. That’s nowhere close to making up the difference.

1 more month until phase 2 they spent the first 2 months figuring out how not to die to a pet.
Actually hilarious. I dunno friend, maybe by having a pet that can soak and deal damage, and can withstand attacks from 5+ higher level mobs inherently makes the class easier.
Maybe, being able to ignore physical damage mechanics like glancing blows and resists allowing you to solo considerably higher level mobs than your player character makes the class inherently easier, just to name a couple of things.
You are coming at me like my bias is an issue, but friend you have those blinkers on like you are running in a horse race.
“Hunter is the hardest class” “objectively”
Come on friend, this is a game forum not a comedy club. Save those for your routine.

Okay what main spells were buffed to compensate for the nerfed BM rune?

Any chances Priest might get some tuning and adjustments on the DPS side or we going to completely ignore that too?.

Ahh the age old PVP player has issues so PVE gets nerfed. Some things never change in this game. Top 200 parses for BFD are 90% warrior and some rogue in there. There are exactly 4 hunters in the top 200, and they’re not even at the top. But sure warriors are good. Can’t wait to see that scale… lol

Can’t look at that friend, haven’t you heard, they need to look into the hunter compensation first
They’re not though. Chimera Shot and Explosive Shot are both glove runes, as is Beast Mastery. Chimera Shot and Explosive Shot remain absolutely terrible. They’re just nerfing the best option, which is once again just a flat nerf.
Make no mistake - the buffs to Chimera Shot and Explosive Shot are not nearly big enough to justify using them over Beast Mastery. They are, essentially, “just nerfing pets”.

Really weird changes honestly.
Hunters are below warriors and rogues in PVE.
It’s an obvious reaction to the forum posts of bad players that don’t know how to range or cc a hunter pet to make the hunter completely useless in pvp.
%15 weapon damage increase on Chimaera shot equates to a maximum of ~10 damage for 1 chimaera shot with the current weapons available. 1 single stamina point on an enemy per 6 seconds. An increase of 1.6 DPS.
It’s a nice way to attempt to make the out of pocket nerf look acceptable, but honestly it’s just cringe.
Meanwhile mages are getting 1 shotted by Starsurge.
I was watching Jokerd’s stream last night as his mage soloed 200 elite enemies in Wailing Caverns and the chat jokingly spammed “nerf hunters” as he did so. The next day hunter is unironically nerfed again. You can’t make it up.
I shouldn’t have to make a forum post to weigh in on the topic to attempt to influence a developer’s decision in their work.
Devs need to log off the forum and use some critical thinking skills instead.

This community wants priest removed from the game. They nerfed the only thing priest had going for it. Anyone who plays priest isnt even playing SoD really our main damage is our wand same as its always been and now they are nerfing the runes that actually changed our gameplay even somewhat.

Well I hope you have a rune that makes serpent sting scale with AP in the plans. Otherwise chimera is still trash. You also didn’t buff flanking strikes or even fix the issue with not being able to reliably hit flanking before raptor.
Lone wolf is also still trash.

Just wait until next phase, when we have Mortal Strike / Wound Poison on full time. This 20% nerf to PoM / Penance may as well be a 70% nerf next phase.

These devs really overnerfed today. Priests have no other thing besides healing Shadow is trash till phase 3 at the earliest they are not thinking.

It just doesn’t make sense, Priest Healing is literally the only thing worth being the class, it’s dps is ridiculous trash, our dps rune SW:Death literally kills us… all we had was healing.
I’d understand if they nerfed Healing but gave the DPS side adjustments and help to be at least semi viable… but nope.

These devs have a lack of ‘skills’ in general.

Yet warriors get to be good at everything under the sun. I am not even mad just disappointed. I wish these devs knew there own game.

Shadow will never be viable in any phase if they leave mana as it is, heck Mind Flay alone will never be casted past Rank 1 as its crap and just to maintain Shadow Weaving, low dps, low coefficient and expensive for its output… and its slow is 50% regardless of rank so in PvP it be rank 1 too.
Like I was hoping at minimum Twisted Faith would make Mind Flay free giving it a purpose to be casted… seriously losing hope about Priest.
