Season of Discovery Hotfixes - December 17

I Would like to see hunters get 10%hit buff for duel wield rune like Shaman.
Also as a fix for such low range dmg. I would like shoots and or pet to be affected by wild strikes or wind fury

Hunters need all scaling nerfs reversed to be relevant. - Chimaera increased to 200% cool down reduced to 3 seconds, aimshot instant.(Just like these dog trash boomies hitting one button for 1500 damage instantly) sniper training as a 3 second 25% crit. that would bring them from f tier to D tier. Melee hunters could use both 10% hit 10% damage, 3% mana returned on crits.

Im super confused about this too and theres been no response so far. Likelyhood is there is some internal debate going on, about whether it should stand or not. Could also just be a simple typo but i feel like so many people have mentioned it already that it couldnt just be a typo.

Either way, if the change goes through then i’ll probably stop playing altogether, i dont want to be roped into choosing between a version of ret that constantly runs out of mana and has the most simplistic rotation ever or playing shockadin which i refuse to take seriously as a raiding spec.

Well… Did my first raid last night after the changes to hunter and you completely broke my class. I am so frustrated honestly with the removal of the 30% raptor strike. I was basically removed from my raid group last night because the damage has dropped so much… why do yall hate hunter’s so much. I thought that SOD was going to be a place where every class is OP instead of just warr’s,
hunters cant win for a damn second. This change dropped my DPS tremendously. dropped my damage output. it was so different please compare logs from prior to patch to after because yall really messed this one up… Do you want to just not have anyone play hunter.

Did you give into complaints like you said you wouldn’t do ?

Who even makes these changes do yall play the game ? how does it even make sense that i basically now have to run BM so i dont lose 18% dps. that’s so much dps this change was so bad and I have no choice but to drop my hunter MY FAVORITE CLASS because you dev’s hate them or something idk.

but this puts alot of stress honestly i spent all this time leveling my hunter to be nerfed time and time again

You cant nerf us with normalized damage and a 30% reduction its so my kit literally consists of two buttons…

I know everyone hates hunters but as an under represented class it felt good to be on top for once.

Hunters were top for a total of 2 weeks of this game being out for 15+ years… make it make sense

We did it warriors we were mentioned on any blizzard post! Now our useless boot rune helps for all those raids warriors are not in

I have 4 toons the hunter was gonna be my main p2 but i saw this coming leveling him with rested xp until all the nerfs are in wont be going hard with him.,

I was already near top of my guild in dps as dual wield enhancement. Thank you daddy blizzard for putting me over the top :smiley:

You guys obviously have never PvP’d against a enhance shaman. Wow.

So are we hiding the rest of the changes for Warriors? Warriors need some buffs to our utility and survivability runes. There is too much player damage in runes with no way to offset or compensate.

Some suggestion:

  • Warbringer give 20% damage reduction on your charge, intercept and intervene for 2/3s.
  • Enraged regen needs a 30% dr on top of heal.
  • Victory rush needs to proc on assists/kills Reset on kills. (or always active with a version of reset on kill/assist). would be interesting if it had a scaling modifier with hp or missing hp either for dmg or healing. scale off stamina directly?
  • remove shared cooldown from retal/shield wall/recklessness. reduce them to 10-15 min cds. put a 30sec to 2 min cd shared on activation. (main thing is removing shared cd)

Nourish is now instant cast when Fury of Stormrage is active. Nourish no longer breaks Moonkin form when Fury of Stormrage is used to cast an instant version of the spell.

Lmao? What even is this?

The threat increase of Just a Flesh Wound is well done!

Ranged hunter buffs when? Its falling behind tanks now, and frost mages might even pass them by the end of p2.

Stop trying to force hunters into melee, its fine to have options, but its clear you are trying to force us to be melee…

Please revert this I can no longer fight in blood moon I cant produce good dps in raids everyone is above me as a hunter which is crazy cause im the only pure dps class

I think that you over listened to people complaining instead of listening to people that actually play hunter and that is sad.

just give the crown back to warriors and rogues

against other melee dps that I was fighting pretty easily prior to these changes something just doesn’t feel right about the class anymore please revert this

dude I’m saying and they nerfed hunter the only real threat they had

I chuckled a bit too… who’s got 40 points in balance, sitting in moonkin form and using the nourish rune instead of eclipse? I’m tempted to go get nourish just to be that confounding.

Please add Dwarf Shaman and Tauren Paladin. My friends and I all play alliance. Classes should not be getting 30% nerfs/buffs/changes. It makes me want to switch classes after spending days leveling to 40. I want to play shaman on alliance and I don’t want to play on a different server.

Why did you guys nerf a bunch of classes just to buff up shamans so hard that they’re clearly overtuned? Yikes.

Melee hunters are STILL 2nd in overall damage even after the 30% nerf to Raptor Strike. It’s still good.

Thank you Dev team! Melee hunter feels good now.

  1. I would love to be able to redeem the Arathi Basin Tabard at Exalted during P2
  2. Please make reputation account-wide. This would make it SO alt friendly, and this would make it appealing to level one of each class for the first time.
  3. More events like the STV event, this is so much fun, thank you! <3
