The serious problem with the hunter nerfs

I would be 100% fine if they got rid of PVP so they would not make drastic changes to balance around PVP that kill PVE.

No that is not always what you do lmao

It’s based on a case by case basis.

Sometimes the easiest thing to do is to adjust 1 class not 9. You adjust the other classes you are prone to having to fix it again

Do you not remember playing retail before we all quit?

You also can’t compare irl to a digital video game

One quite literally exists in reality and one doesnt

Literally no one is arguing this. You’re a fool to keep posting it.

The problem is we’re back to brain-dead autoshot + cat with literally no higher skill-ceiling to achieve. That’s not interesting, and not what we wanted out of SoD.

I want to be bottom of the DPS meters if I play my class wrong. But I also want to be able to push to the top if I play it right. As it is, we’re going to be static as there’s almost no gameplay involved.

I didn’t roll a new toon in SoD to play the same class i’ve been playing for the past 4 years in Classic Era. If that’s what I wanted, I wouldn’t be playing SoD.

Big true.

And what exactly was so engaging about your literal AI pet passively doing a majority of your damage with little to no actual input on your end prior to this nerf

You guys are acting like you had some super skillfully high apm rotation before the nerfs, you literally just did the same thing just with bigger numbers

Having your AI pet do more damage isn’t in any way “raising the skillcap” of the class

How is a hunter going to get naxx gear when all 25 dps slots are warriors?

Are you a time traveler, how do you know the raid composition of SoD naxx raids?

Also, how is this little strawman tangent you’re going on relevant to the point I’m making about the damage power level of classes outpacing the effective HP pools of both player characters and NPCs?

Bro how did I not know about this, this is great. Yes.

You don’t endlessly buff…Christ man.

You bring the trailing classes up to the leading so everyone is around 5% of each other. Right now DPS Priest is dang near HALF ‘as powerful’ as DPS Paladin (ranking score). Meanwhile, Hunter is around 1/5 more powerful than DPS Paladin (ranking score).

So. Do we buff everyone up or nerf everyone down? Personally, I’d prefer to see us all buffed up.

Buffing everyone up to the top performing classes level just causes massive powercreep that would destroy the balance of endgame and require a complete rework of the rest of the game

You dont buff or nerf in alignment with the very top or the very bottom, you nerf the very top, and buff the very bottom and use the median performing classes as the baseline to aim for.

The only class to have one spec is hunter… They are the only DPS class… and we are the only class getting severely nerfed. The message is clear, they want hunters deleted.

stop crying

Still top tier in both pve and pvp post nerfs

Cry more about not doing the damage of 3 players primarily with AI that literally plays itself

Stun? Where? You mean the 5 pts to get a 20% chance from conc?

That is a complete lie

Making pets that are able to obtain world buffs scale on attack power, was a mistake

How is it a lie,

Hunter is literally the dominant range dps, and still absolutely destroys in pvp

You don’t get it. Hunters are supposed to do well low lvl, they do not scale well later in the game. We are not dominating full geared rogues and warriors. We can’t even kill priests now. We are the ONLY single spec class as DPS and now BM has been made classic with sprinkles. It’s a joke, blizzard should be ashamed for how they mismanaged this.
