Season of Discovery Class Tuning - January 11

flanking strike was never a mana issue, it was single digits… but thx ?

Are you people insane or stupid or you just listen to the loudest voices?Please live our pets alone. This is ridiculous. All classes go rampant and no one cares. Paladins are op AF as tanks and Chaos bolt almost single handedly kills a mob. You took everything from Hunters and now the rune bonus? Ffs you did something good for hunters for once and now again nerfs . Ffs Blizzard, why?
Pet’s don’t do that much dps but they are finally viable single target tanks. If you dod this you really show you hate hunters.
I understood the explosive and poison on Scorpio but this is just stupid.
Ffs stop listening to all idiots crying. Outrageous !

So, when Circle of Healing does less than Wild Growth already does you decide to nerf Circle? The issue is Prayer of Mending, the easiest fix is to double the mana cost or remove the bouncing from healing received.

You need to nerf mana cost. Penance can been cast after 1 regen tick at 0% mana.

It’s stupid and it breaks PVP.

Pardon me, but when are you going to address some hotfixes or updates that will allow warriors to duel wield 1-handed weapons at or before lev 10. then allow for titans grip by level 20? You need to start allowing warriors a multiple range of weapons use and stances. I’m getting tired of being forced to play with a 2 handed weapon.

Stop trying to make sense of this, it’s not worth the brainpower. They’ve tried to nerf hunter-stacking in WSG with the BFD wb not affecting pets, it wasn’t enough, now they do this but i bet you 100g if people still stack hunters in wsg we’re gonna get nerfed again.
and again.
and again.

So, nerfed pets but (theoretically) buffed other abilities to compensate. And nerfed priest heal runes, compensating with… oh wait. GG

Thankfully they didn’t nerf fishing.

Please stop making changes in the middle of the phase, or middle of a season. Make adjustments to future seasons if you have to, but adjusting mid-season gives early players a different, better, easier, more fun experience than later players. Early hunters already leveled, geared, raided, parsed, etc. with the abilities working as intended. New hunters’ abilities have been retarded versus earlier, meaning new players have a different, worse experience. Keep it even and fair.

I’m sorry but am I going mad here or are hunters mad they can’t be one of the best PvP classes, the best solo class (and it’s not even close) because they wanted 35 mins of glory once every 3 days at the cost of anyone trying to enjoy PvP getting mauled by an NPC?

OMGs they nerfed fishing… NOOO…

BM pets and various minions on retail are doing ~80% of the damage and do require a rotation. Why don’t they go the same route on SoD? Are they so adamant on keeping classic’s ridiculously shallow gameplay?

Please dont even mention the retail BM hunters spawning a literal ZOO of animals. The reason we hate retail is because so many classes can spawn a literal army of minions cluttering your entire screen with 50 nameplates. It’s horrid.

If SoD ever gets anything even close to what BM is on retail I will delete my characters and uninstall in a heartbeat

Do we still gotta keep the 16 and next 15 talent point in BM?

The chimera buff is not nearly enough to warrant switching glove runes, so I guess BM talents will be the most efficient still. I’m gonna experiment with everything, hoping something sticks but this looks to be just a flat dmg% nerf without success in changing how hunters play the game.

Before you bend me over again, can you at least buy me dinner with a side of fixing Kill Command being triggered by Screech with no bonus?

Doesn’t need to be a zoo. I just want BM to deal damage through the pet, and that can be done with the need to press actual buttons rather than relying on a fully automated unit.
The first step in the right direction would be to change KC to its retail version.

Blizzard don’t listen to this bozo. Just buff shaman. Hire me and I can help you do it, since you over 2 decades until dragonflight class designer took over, have no clue to balance this class and make it strong.

Because they were cracked up in PVP, and SOD is based off PVP. There’s more to the game than the DPS raid logs.

Honestly it doesn’t even need a nerf in the first place. The problem is blizzard gave priest access to a bunch of frontloaded instant cast and AoE heals that other classes just don’t have access to.

When most fights last less than 2 minutes in BFD, obviously Penance and Prayer of Mending are going to Outperform stuff like Healing Rain, Wild Growth and Beacon of Light.
