Almost positive it was 1,5 last time I played a lowbie hunter (zero haste) on beta.
Nope, it's 2... Still not that big a difference though, especially if it's affected by haste.

It's 2 seconds on Beta.

Rilgon doesn't have a terrible attitude. He's a smart guy and some of us hate being holed into one spec because everything else is broken.
Hate them then but at least be constructive if you have to express it, no need to repeat the same things in every single topic.
Hunters suck, this and that ¤#%&ing sucks, BM is OP but still sucks, MM is the only fun spec, every other class is getting better skills etc... It's getting old.

Just to give my opinion on this...
Rilgon doesn't have a terrible attitude. He's a smart guy and some of us hate being holed into one spec because everything else is broken.
I called this months ago that they would &*!@ the dog on focus, and they did.
I give it a year and a major patch before we're fixed. Sucks to lose my titles, amani war bear, t6... anything that said I was good at this game when it meant something - but I'm rerolling for cata.
Bai.
$%^& ghostcrawler.
- People called doom on the game when blizzard announced druids could cast Root inside.
- It will works right away.
- If your titles, amani war bear are the things that mean something to you, you have a serious problem.
Even if it is 5 focus/sec, it means 50 focus for the duration of Chimera Shot cooldown. CS will cost 44 focus. Do the maths, you have enough to cast it every time it is up. So you have 6 focus left. Arcane Shot cost 22 focus. It means you need 16 extra focus, that is less than 2x (2sec - haste) Steady Shot.
So yeah, focus is ok, you wont run out of it.

No, I was grasping for something that gives meaning to the class I've played for 4 years.
Afk reading your guild charter again, makes me laugh so freakin' hard.
How is that related to the topic subject?

My guild is unrelated to the post and yes we apply it. It leaves morons & slackers out of our guild.

So I can barely sustain my normal DPS rotation on a single target.
Now what happens when I, oh, I don't know... need to target switch? (re-application of Serpent Sting, etc) What happens when I need to AoE? (40 focus Multi-Shots + 30 Focus Trap Launcher'd Explosive Traps) What happens when I need to do any sort of movement that won't let me use the currently very clunky Aspect of the Fox for Steady Shots? (AotF turns you towards the target of your Steady and makes you run at them) What happens when I can't get to minimum range to fire anything? (only options within 5 yards are a very anemic Explosive or Immolation Trap and white damage from our melee weapon)
Edit, at Northernsky: Yeah, the charter is pretty hilarious, I'll give you that.

But no, really Wildhorn, you do come off as pompous in everything you write. So pompous you make yourself look like an idiot at times.

1) Being a localizer doesnt make everything I say is correct.
2) You call me pompous, yet you are the one derailing the thread by name calling my guild. Like, am I supposed to give a @#$%?
3) I find focus correct. The only difference with current mana system and the new focus system is that you wont be able to spam Serpent Sting, because for the rest, you will do the same due to cooldowns anyway. Try to bring me counter-arguments with datas and tests instead to call names.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Gnub##DELIM##

No, it really isn't. Ask any Hunter in Beta (Rilgon is one and he agrees), Focus is absolute @#$%.

We're not allowed to say how terrible Focus
currently
is?
Not allowed to comment on the changes to our class? I'd say we have a good reason to complain as it stands now.
Don't come in here all high and mighty next time. It makes you look dumb.
Thanks.

I hate to say this, as I AM in the PTR, but hunters are in a bad way.
The way focus is implemented is bad.
Steady shot is bugged as some times it will shoot at 2 seconds, other times it takes almost 6 seconds.
It is not consistent which makes it unusable for raiding.
Balance between the trees is not there, at the moment BM is the only viable raiding spec until they fubar that too.
There is NO way to talent hit, SO those hunters without a lot of hit in gear are SOL.
At the moment with my main copied over, I am at 6.02% hit. I have to pick up 2% more to be capped, which means a loss of other stats, further gimping me. Also if I read other posts, hit is not a steady variable as you level, but changes as you get higher in lvl further making it hard to balance.
The pet bar is very awkward as it takes a few seconds to choose a pet every danged time you want to bring one out.
With so many problems with UI, Talents, and gear, on all the classes it would be wrong for them to push out cataclysm until it is in better shape.
Right now new hunters are so overpowered that when they get higher in level, there will be a big surprise. i am leveling a new hunter to test the mechanics of focus, and it is so easy to kill, most of the time my target is dead before my pet even engages my target.
