except the ‘nerfs’ today should result in a net gain in dps due to Chimera Shot being viable now.
Yep, but to many people look at gray parse hunter rotation and think “easy class”.
It gets stupidly complicated.
I wish they would buff sniper training by
- Effects auto shot
- Stays on for 2 seconds after moving or only takes 4 seconds to get it
- Gain additional crit based on distance from target (10% under 10 yards, 15% at 10-20 20% at 30+)

Still less than bm before the nerf.
The gap is closer now, but all options are still weaker than the bm option before the nerf.
And hunters were not the top dps. The top dps still have not been nerfed and they are outperforming hunters before all the nerfs happened.

Its still garbage. The buff will not do much for it. It was a pity-pat to try to ease over the deep plowing the class got just before.

tomorrow it goes live
Today is tomorrow. It was posted 18 hrs ago.
it is supposed to go live today.
we had the reset no nerf? maybe they decided not to go through with it?
possibly after checking precious parses and seeing the top 500 all warrior?

Still no BG upgrades with pre-made vs. pre-made only battles. step it up Blizz we need WSG pre-mades to play other pre-mades so people can actually queue for bg’s
honestly would be more fun for ppl who like to pvp…also am i misremembering vanilla or was the pairing based mroe on rank then? I remember being matched against the same alliance premades so often we became friends…
rogue is super easy
Just finished leveling one, walked into BFD in partial pre-bis with a quest reward sword and green offhand and put up higher DPS than I do on my Hunter who has almost full BiS including the epic crossbow

how do you figure 15% increase in base weapon damage on chimera shot is going to make up for the BM rune nerf?
Chimera isn’t a 15% straight dmg buff, its 15% increase on the weapon damage. Its tiny

I get your point but the vast majority of players are in PvP realms, not PvE. PvE realms are tiny in population in comparison. So yes it matters.
I do agree the way they handled it could have been much better but it was a good thing to change up hunters damage profile. The only issue is that they only buffed runes that compete with BM rune rather than runes is other slots so this was a nerf to most hunters and not a rebalance.
Honestly 30 second CD on Flanking Strike has been a joke since release basically making melee hunters have to play a slot machine to parse more than any other class and it’s wild they haven’t reduced that but instead checks notes addressed the mana cost

Kinda i mean every class is easy to play imo. Most specs have like a 2 or 3 button rotation.
My mage is legit 2 buttons. Arcane blast and arcane missles and sometimes that new rune ability once every minute

Think it went live…my penance at lvl 22 went from 150 to 120
Maybe if you downplay it that much. You’re forgetting the other 2/3rds of the class. Hunter isn’t simply a ranged DPS, it had melee dps and pet management. Also, you’re just trying to disagree with me just to disagree, for literally no reason, you don’t actually care about balance. It is super easy to tell simply by the way you type. Maybe go outside, make some friends. This forum is unhealthy for you specifically.
