Havent played retail since Cata. What the heck happened to MM Hunters over the years? They used to be so fun and intricate to play.
Chimera Shot is a cleave attack now? What happened to it’s utility effects like Disarm? Serpent sting gone. Minimum range… gone (this one just feels weird). You have to choose between Wing Clip and Conc shot now??
And our pets… they added so much pet identity and depth in Wotlk… now they feel generic and gutted. Why did they go backwards with pets??
And perhaps the most jarring change of all… the sound effects! I used to love the smooth sound of the bow being drawn, or the oomph of the gun being fired. Now it sounds like a child’s cartoon and there are all sorts of cheesy sounds that dont fit with the Hunter at all.
When did all this stuff happen?
WoD happened. Hunter’s got gutted. Legion made MM even more weird. Been downhill for awhile. =/
they dont even feel like Hunters anymore! It feels like an entirely different class. Its going to be hard to get into it… which is sad because Hunter was my favorite class. Bummer.
Yea im not a fan of that ability at all. Id trade it away in a second if it meant getting old-Chimera Shot back. Chimera Shot was the most awesome shot ever when they added it in wotlk… its new iteration just doesnt feel right or fun to press.
Yeah it’s a bad button that lets them justify not allowing aimed shot while moving and making other shots hit much weaker and it’s on a cd so if the enemy disrupts you on the channel it goes on cd and your damage goes in the gutter. MM has felt like clunky trash since it was added. It’s also the button that let’s Worldfastestoneshots have a youtube channel.

MM felt fun in PvE in legion and awful for PvP. The whole Chimera cleaving killed the spec for me. MoP was peak mm and I still miss it.

Ill wait for Cata Classic or MoP Classic. I dont think i can enjoy my Hunter in this pruned/watered down iteration. The soul of the spec feels completely gone.

I don’t like Chim not being a big fatty hit but Legion MM was imo pretty good once they fixed sidewinders damage. I loved MM the absolute most in MoP I think, but Legion was still way better than this rapid fire iteration.

MM in M+ in Legion was pretty fun. Maybe it would have been better had the templates not existed. Dunno, I just could never get into it.
Yeah MoP was great though. I loved killing people on that island with my MM hunter and farming bloody coins in bg’s. I think we still had double deterrence then as well as big Chim. Was a great time and my hunter is still the char with my most playtime largely from that xpac.

Def. MoP was one of the most enjoyable specs I had ever played in PvP. Loved the pacing of it. Had a good balance of RNG, Good burst, but not over the top. The CC was probably a bit broken with wyvern sting,
Does anyone actually like Chimera Shot in this current iteration? Did the players actually ask for this? Trying to wrap my head around why Blizzard would do this.
Nope. When they released it everyone was griping about it. Been awhile, but I’d assume it can still hit a trapped target. I get that MM had awful AOE, but why make Chim cleave? Made no sense.
Really hoping they hear the pleas and change it back for the next expansion.
Cata was like 12 years ago. Some things are bound to change.
I get that. But i was imagining more of a progressive change in the forward direction, rather than going backwards. Pets for example have much less depth and individuality than they used to. Blizzard went backwards with Pets.
