Why was melee hunter nerfed harder than ranged hunter when they’re outperforming in raids by a long shot, and are more deadly in PvP too? This makes absolutely no sense

I wouldnt care about the nerf if you fixed how horrible TNT is to play (boss hitboxes with traps) and fixed the disparity between horde and alliance buffs/dps.
Please make TNT into throwing the trap as a bomb at the target instead of having to place the trap. The hit box on boss mobs and trying to get moving mobs is just not fun. The trap weaving game play is just not fun even when we can get a mob that we can hit with them.

Thank god, good nerfs to hunters. They have the most aoe damage and are complete menaces in AV, all while never having mana issues. I love how hunters still complain while being able to do 2.5k instant cast chimera shot and aimed shots on players lmao.
They will never be pleased. Should buff melee tho since that is a different story.
Please also fix the mage bug that does not display dispellable magic debuffs when the setting option “only display dispellable buffs” is selected

Without addons it’s basically impossible to properly cleanse as a mage healer

+1 i cant stand it… have to leave the setting off and then there is just too much to filter through in raid
I think the sad part of this nerf to hunters is that it appears to hurt gear scaling. Looking towards the future hunters already look like not great scalers,
I understand explosive trap and back line hunters are oppressive in group pvp. I would rather disable explosive traps in pvp personally than another phase and another round of pve hunter nerfs.
At this point it feels really hard to log in.
I like how melee hunters are almost doing as much dps as boomies, and you nerf them again. It honestly makes me want to not log on, and the only reason I have a sub is for SOD so I guess i’m going to be done with wow all together.

WHAT? NNOO!
Oh… carry on.
I am convinced the devs only play shammy, this is the only way I can explain the constant Hunter nerf now that they actually got a challeng in the hands. The lack of buff for boomkin (as I know p3 it was a challenge for them as well).
And the lack of nerf to shammys themselves, instead they get a thousand new abilities with lots of new CC to make them even more OP, and still having the insane damage output either as Ele or Enhance.
At this point, I am just considering leaving SoD as the devs are outright killing it.
One can only hope this means that finally hunters will get Frost Trap on the Trap Launcher again, but I doubt it.

That is not a BUFF thats a 50% nerf to drop something from 50% to 25% is to cut it in 1/2 which is there for a nerf !!!

They nerf the LAST Sole DPS class.
Imagine crying about one spec being mediocre while that class has 3 other specs it can play

There are almost as many Boomkins as the entire shaman class. It’s also the only caster dps Druid spec. Completely different gear from the other Druid specs also.
