Survival changes are mostly destructive to the core of the spec

HUNTER

• Hero Talents
  • Pack Leader
    • Scattered Prey duration increased to 20 seconds (was 15 seconds).
• Survival
  • Grenade Juggler has been updated – Now resets the cooldown of Explosive Shot instead of automatically firing it.
    • Developer’s note: By allowing you to manually fire Explosive Shot, we can open up this talent’s ability to synergize with existing effects (like Grenade Juggler’s own cooldown reduction) while also eliminating some frustrating edge-cases.
  • Relentless Marauder has been updated – Now also increases Fury of the Eagle’s damage by 10%.
  • Frenzy Strikes Wildfire Bomb cooldown reduction per target hit increased to 3 seconds (was 1 second).
  • Merciless Blow duration reduced to 8 seconds (was 12 seconds).
  • Killer Companion now increases Kill Command’s damage by 10/20% (was 5/10%).
  • Sentinel
    • Symphonic Arsenal damage increased by 200%.

Well,well,well. Looks like they realized how bad they screwed up with some of the initial changes and are starting to walk it back.

Several points I made, and was argued against by “the pros”, are already acknowledged here and starting to be addressed.

It’s still not enough, but at least we’re moving back in the right direction.
