Season 2 Tier Set is just a nerfed season 1 Tier Set.
Blizz devs really aren’t putting in much effort for SV. Here is “updated Tier set”
Hunter Survival Class Set 2pc ]
Raptor Strike, Carve, and Butchery damage increased by 12%.
Hunter Survival Class Set 4pc
Raptor Strike, Carve, and Butchery have a 20% chance to make your next Raptor Strike, Carve, or Butchery cost no Focus and deal 40% increased damage 10 less Focus.
This class and spec has barely had any changes since 1st day of dragon flight. We need a rework of talent tree. WFB needs a 25% damage buff. Or can we get consecutive concussion PvP talent, Where 2 WFB on a concussed target cause the enemy to he stunned for 3 seconds, Kind of like MM.
even if the set is bad Hunters and SV hunter seem to be doing A tier damage but often get put into C or D tier because of our survivability without a healer aware that they need heal us with lil more effort like a tank and cant just put a regen and aoe us like every other class and need be ready to burst heal us at any moment.
I’m cool with the S1 nerfs, honestly. The RNG free-casts could often enough lead to being unable to leverage other tools without overcapping, which never feels great (since margining for those procs means wasting other opportunities), and was more powerful a difference in ST than it ought to be/have been.
We dodged the 10% Mongoose Bite nerf. I’d be happy to see our equivalent of the Razz bow tuned back in place of avoiding that nerf we’d otherwise have been given.
I still feel like our sustained AoE needs a slight tuning buff, though.
SV tier set is completely different than what you posted (which is S1 nerf):
(2) Set Bonus: Wildfire Bomb damage increased by 10% and throwing a Wildfire Bomb increases the damage of your next Kill Command by 50%.
(4) Set Bonus: Every 25 Focus spent reduces the cooldown of Wildfire Bomb by 1.0 sec, and the target of your latest Kill Command takes 100% increased damage from Wildfire Bomb for 8 sec.
It’s not as good as S1, but eh. We’ll see. We are getting a flat 8% damage increase across the board to compensate losing s1 bonus…
Lunge will reduce bombs CD with autos as well. RoS is going into the tree (which is good), and we’re getting a disarm for PvP, which is awesome.
Not a ton of changes, but we’re already in decent shape (for PvP anyways).
Realized we needed a buff due to losing s1 tier, so gave us buffs. I will prefer this gameplay over spamming mongoose indefinitely, which subjectively is not very riveting gameplay for me.
ah shoot didnt realize this wasnt the Season 2 tier set,
I thought they tried the Season 2 tier set and it was a joke so they went back to a nerfed Tier 1 Set for season 2.
Really WFB is such a joke in pvp, only use it to apply debuffs, the damage is so bad.
If we can get consecutive concussion with 2 WFB as a PVP Talent ,that would make my Season 2.
The KC mark with 4p bonus says “The target of your last KC” (no precision if it’s initial dmg and/or dot, what about wildfire infusion ?). Target of your last implies no aoe possibilities for this.
And 2p bonus is only 10% damage on bomb (again with no precision)
I think damage is for initial+dot and wildfire infusion is ignored => does someone knows ?
But we will get a global damage buff on spec modifier (from 17.5% to 27%), this is the best part
(2) Set Bonus: Wildfire Bomb damage increased by 10% and throwing a Wildfire Bomb increases the damage of your next Mongoose Bite by 50%.
(4) Set Bonus: Every 25 Focus spent reduces the cooldown of Wildfire Bomb by 1.0 sec, and the target of your latest Kill Command takes 100% increased damage from Wildfire Bomb for 8 sec.
Wish blizz would make this simple change to make the set bonus next season exponentially better and more fun…
