Ok, I want to know what the hunters think. I am on the PTR and I must say I am rather disappointed with some of the changes that Blizzard has done to the hunter class. Who likes the new Kill Command. It boosts damage by 60% and deminishes by 20% each attack (cooldown 1 min). So your pets next three attacks gain some damage. Right now that is a significant nerf since it is a 6 sec cooldown and is up when ever you crit. I can keep it up almost 70% of the time so that I am just waiting for the cooldown to use it again. It crits for like 500-600 damage for me at least. That is not an OP move by any means so WTF blizz that really wasn't necessary.
Move #2 the increase to steady shot's cast time. This move was not that powerful or OP and it is to help us in our dps and now we need more haste in order to reduce it. Yes haste does affect this contrary to new beliefs it is affected by haste. It is now at 1.6 with BM passive skills, almost 1.4 with IAotH.
Lastly they changed the mechanics of arcane shot. This to me was one way for us to be very good in pvp. Other classes have dispelling abilities and correct me if i am wrong but theirs isn't on a cooldown. I can understand the cooldown since our dispel ability also does damage but now arcane shot does no sure thing. However our Tranquilizing shot now dispels magic frenzy and enraged effects. This does no damage but it is on a 15 sec cooldown and cost more mana than arcane shot. Ok I would have been fine if it was a dispel ability like everyone else's but on a 15 sec cooldown, come on.
This is not the death of the hunter class but were significant nerfs on things that really didn't make any of us hunters OP. There is more I could say about the talent trees but I will just save it and let you all comment me.

I was using the numbers that my cast timer was telling me. But obviously you slightly missed my point in why the world that was needed. Also I think of you as a very good hunter and respect what you have to say. It could be that it was bugged in the test server. Also what about the other moves. To me these were unnecessary nerfs.
