Get ready for a whole new phase of nerf hunter posts crying about feign death. It’s gunna be worse than before.
You can macro feign death and armor swaps so that you drop combat and instantly have an entirely new set on.
You will be able to do this in PvP and PvE.
It has a 30 second cooldown and costs basically no mana.
Warriors… If you somehow ever manage to get close enough to get a charge off on a Hunter, fear the feign death scream. Suddenly your opponent’s drip will completely change and they will start chunking you hard.
I don’t know how I’m going to be able to fit marksman, beast mastery, melee, and spell power hunter gear in my inventory all at once. Plus there’s consumes, the quiver so one less bag slot, and all the other junk you pick up! It’s gunna be nuts.

this isn’t new. rogues have been doing this with shadowstrike and swapping out to their preferred rune.

When did I say this is new news? Just bringing it to the people once more.
They could very easily fix this by not letting you swap gear that has runes for X seconds after leaving combat.
Boom fixed

Yup. But it will take about 5k threads on both Reddit and these forums complaining about it before Blizzard even considers doing something.
Omg a full melee set with melee rune gear swap would be funny. (Cries in 3 bag slots)
They already have your swapped runes on a cd when you gear swap (think your last used rune cd transfers)?
Thats how they fixed shadowstrike into saber slash.
wont work in raid i think, but ywa everywhere else it will be a problem
I mean it’s SoD, but I checked with the Hunter Discord and they said it would.
Melee weaving with feign death set swapping is gunna be insane for top parsers.
IMO they should disallow swapping gear/runes like this. Maybe make gear with a rune on it only swappable 5+ seconds after leaving combat, instead of instantly.
hmm shouldn’t since they have the anti ooc rezzer fix in but maybe
It won’t work. This was hotfixed over a month ago.
Rogues using Shadowstrike → Shiv via two pairs of gloves now triggers a cooldown of 30 seconds on it (unless this was reverted at one point).
I would imagine swapping to anything that has a cooldown will also work the same way.
These types of posts are weak af and all over reddit lol.

Yeah, I’m already drooling over the Rexxar fantasy I can finally live out.
Duel-Wielding Tauren Melee Hunter, complete with pet Wyvern. (May swap to Boar for the immobilize/root charge, or another better PvP pet, we’ll see.)
I’m gonna have Intimidate, War Stomp, Feign Death, and Trap Launcher all at the ready.

And what does a “strong” post look like to you? You’re the ultimate judge of what’s good and bad on the internet after all.
Is it the 1000s of GDKP complain posts, nerf Starsurge posts, and balance change suggestion posts with nothing to back them up besides their opinion, that go so hard?
Like lol, sorry for making a unique post no one has talked about before. That’s my bad.
They fixed shadow strike into saber by putting you in combat when you cast it, not when the hit happens. So you can’t macro in glove swap.
Seriously why do you even care? Are you worried about pve or pvp? In pvp multiple classes have ways of dropping combat to gear swap (poly/fear/immobilise/kiting/trap). Sweaty players have always gear swapped in pvp regardless of class. If it’s pve you’re talking about what are you concerned about exactly?
How about focusing on something that actually matters?
Probably only take a few tweets though
I don’t have a problem with it. I like the idea of being able to. It’s a fun way to add more layers to the gameplay loop.
I brought it up because it’s fun and makes me excited? Like huh?
And double huh? This doesn’t matter? What actually matters then? What is “worth” to you? I mean, you’re in here commenting so it’s worth your time right?
I apologise, I misread the intention of your post, thought you were complaining about it. Personally I can’t see any use for it with current runes but to each their own.

A Spell Power set for better serpent sting, arcane shot, and chimera shot would likely be great for the initial pull of bosses.
Chimera scales off serpent’s damage, so if Chimera ends up a meta rune, you could pull with a spell power set so that the damage you keep refreshing on the boss is higher than it normally is. It should persist even if you feign death swap armor sets as long as you don’t swap the chimera rune gear piece to a different chimera rune gear piece.
Autoshot does way too much damage for spell power to be viable for an entire fight, but as way to get an improved SS that you can keep refreshing even after you swap to a normal armor set, that’s viable.
Then on the less memey side of things, there’s swapping to a melee set to bonk when need be. That needs no explanation and is definitely viable.
Fingers crossed hoping its all possible!
