Sounds like you should buff the other healers then. Lazy change.

Im really beginning to hate pvp in this game. Like these devs cater to the pvp crowd and make everything harder on everyone! Who wins when hunters do less damage in a raid? Not us. Who wins when there is less healers to pug with? Not us.

Once hunters figure out how to play MM, the whole anti hunters will be complaining how MM are too Over power .

Going to doubt that friend.
Starsurge has a max damage of I believe ~198 at 25 (itâs 190 something canât remember the exact, but 8 is high for the range anyway), it has a damage coefficient of 1.0, and Iâm going to round up 120 spell power from gear which I believe is unattainable (but relatively close) and take into account BFD boon.
Even with all that and the crit modifying talent and assuming it crits, max damage output is like 608 before resistances, mitigations, absorbs etc.
A fully BiS Starsurge may be one-shotting low level mages with a lucky crit, but itâs definitely not the average situation.
The base damage is like 162-198 or 168-192, and we have to take into account spell power gear is almost non-existent outside of BFD, so most people wonât have much, if any.
Outside of total gear discrepancies (or people just running full glass cannon) it should really only be doing ~20-35% depending on if it crits or not or has any partial resist.
Honestly though, I donât think it needs the 1.0 coefficient, Iâd personally like to see it dropped, see it also scale off Nature damage, and then see compensation elsewhere to prop the class up.
Starsurge is always going to be a problem when itâs got a great spell power coefficient, fix it now along with the rest of the spec that is still underperforming.
I donât want Druids sitting in the dirt just because Blizzard canât scale one spell properly that it causes people to have toxic interactions with it.
The devs hear you and they have decided to nerf Hunters Heart of the Lion so Paladins can feel superior next phase.

Blizz intentionally scuttling SoD because they donât want to make classic+ and instead feed us all into retail and MoP

cause there was no PTR for SoD
Time to give in and swap to Warrior or Rogue, itâs clear where this is heading. Or you know, quit.

Warriors are gonna be disgustingly strong after this phase this was the phase they were supposed to be at their weakest. lol look how well that worked out.

I just realized that this is only phase 1 and BM hunters are no where near their full talent tree . No where near their full potential into the BM talents . So, Blizzard wants to nerf BM hunters before they can actually do anything. Like nerfing cat before they can use their claws . Dog without teeth . A snake without poison. A spider without itâs web .

Thats not even the funniest part. Warriors are stastically really weak at low level and really strong at high level for hunters its reversed. Really strong at low level and at high level they scale very poorly. Yet Warriors top the charts this phase and Hunters NERF NERF NERF. I am losing faith.
Edit: About 20% faith in SoD to be exact but details.

Priest main, excited about the PoM/Penance nerfs because now weâll have a reason to use normal heals instead of just waiting for rune ability cds. They were overpowered and a nerf was good.
However circle of healing I donât think deserves a nerf. It is way too costly for the amount done, its current state is just right.
Also Wild growth should be nerfed imo because it is broken, even more overpowered than the priest rune abilities.

Ok, so where are the buffs to our âmain spellsâ? Chimera Shot and Explosive Shot are glove runes. So is Beast Mastery. No one is going to start using CS and ES over BM, because CS and ES are both still trash. So whereâs the compensation?

Why do hunters need to be compensated?
They arent they are just being cute with the wording hoping nobody would notice they did but they tried it.
