HEY HEY HEY… they’re legit the ONLY pure class in SoD, IMO they should be absolutely top DPS.

can’t have there precious warlocks outshined by something else they basically killed the two starting abilities for a class that already struggles to get to 10 b4 they get there pet. Especially when all of these abilities scale as you level imagine just adjusting the scaling and not gutting the 2 abilities that hunters get below 10

Ok. Now can you address the flanking strike issue of having to effectively win the lottery to get it to 2 stacks, let alone 3 because the buff lasts 10 seconds with a CD of 30 seconds and raptor strike can only be used twice to fish for resets with 20% chance?

I get you dont want 3 stacks to be reliable, but just buffing the duration to 15 seconds actually makes it feel achievable to reach 3 stacks instead of feeling like a 1% chance.

Can you give Arms warriors a slight damage buff we can’t stand with other classes dps wise for this phase and will be forced to tank because what we have rn is not good Lol. Please Blizz Everyone else can burn stuff down and here we are struggling worse then normal bc the buff to the damn mobs.

This isn’t the end of the nerfs. I wouldn’t doubt that all the runes will be nerfed into the ground before level 60 will be available.

They’ll get nerfed next. Everything will get nerfed to the point nothing feels satisfying or impactful anymore. The Retail design philosophy.

I was JUST telling my friend how fun Hunter is, and not even an hour after that, you nerfed it 60 feet under the ground. It’s supposed to be a FUN, temporary, seasonal server, you shouldn’t ever be nerfing things that are fun - you should be making the other abilities MORE FUN. Make more fun abilities, don’t try to force people to try your boring ones.

For now yeah… probably like 2 to 3 runes with the right buffs could give them a tank or healing spec but who knows what is in the pipeline

Not FOTM played the game for a while just not this account…

I was convincing some retail friends who love hunter to play Season of Discovery with me, now that the nerf is out they all responded with “Typical Blizzard, eff em.” And aren’t gonna play now. They rightfully assume that the message of prioritizing fun was a complete lie

Watching hunters press literally just Explosive shot and top charts was lame and frustrating. Not a single other class has it close to that easy. Glad hunters will actually have to try to put numbers down like everyone else. Also, mage AE healing was ridiculous. Glad to see it gone. DPS healers should never be both top heals and top dps. It’s exciting to see Blizzard actively tuning things.

Yup complete disregard with anyone having fun with the class. Big sweeping changes. Never addressed the issue just completely killed explosive shot. They can take the time to nerf it into the ground and do something no hunter asked for. We were all having fun then they nerfed explosive shot into the ground. Most hutners new it was going to get nerfed but to that extent and just re designed it into an ability no one wanted. Terrible terrible. Nerfed chim shot for no reason. Love that I go oom in 3 roations.

Guys should honestly look at deep melee hunter, having tons of fun with it imo.

They nerfed Explo/Chim shot due to the ridiculousness of the amount of damage being done by these abilities, in particular Explo shot. No reason a single ability can shave off 60-70% of a mob hp 3lvls higher then your own.
