Patch 3.0.8 Discussion

Post by Hurono

This is mainly for anyone who feels about talking about the next patch notes. And what I have to say:

Any Hunters out there realize we're pretty much the worst class now? They've nerfed us alot, but... This time... I mean, look at this.

Hunter
All Hunter pet abilities with a cooldown of 30 seconds or more are no longer on the global cooldown.
Aspect of the Wild: This aspect is now raid-wide.
Call of the Wild: The benefit from this pet talent now applies to only the Hunter and their own pet.
Deterrence: Design changed to grant 100% parry and 100% chance to "deflect" spells coming from the front, but prevents the Hunter from attacking. Lasts 5 sec. 60 sec. cooldown.
Improved Tracking (Survival): This talent has been slightly re-designed. Now reads: While tracking Beasts, Demons, Dragonkin, Elementals, Giants, Humanoids and Undead, all ranged damage done to those types is increased by 1/2/3/4/5%.
Kill Shot: Cooldown reduced to 15 seconds, down from 35 sec.
Kindred Spirits: This talent now grants only 3/6/9/12/15% pet damage.
The coefficient of Rake (Cat) and Scorpid Poison (Scorpid) has been lowered.
Readiness: No longer resets the cooldown on Bestial Wrath.
Steady Shot: Now gains 10% of attack power as damage instead of 20%.
Serpent's Swiftness: This talent now grants only 2/4/6/8/10% bonus attack speed to pet. The hunter attack speed bonus is unchanged.
Unleashed Fury: This talent now grants only 3/6/9/12/15% pet damage.
Viper Sting: Now drains a percentage of maximum mana.
Volley: The damage has been reduced on all ranks by approximately 30% (including attack power scaling).

Serious nerfs this time. What is there for the good to nerf ratio? One thing can vary in here (Viper Sting: Now drains a percentage of maximum mana.). Everything esle pretty much turns us to nothing. 2g:8n? Survival spec Hunters are pretty much the only ones that aren't too affected by this, and even then, what they did to Volley is unbelievable. 30% less damage when it already did low damage... I'm sick of this.

Yeah, I posted it on another thread, I'm betting that Steady Shot bonus damage will go up to maybe 15%. It needed a nerf, but halving it is just too much.

I really wish they'd just reset my hunter back to pre-3.0, I was happy with her then. My issue is that she is bugged, has been bugged since patch, and I just can't stand to play her much as its too annoying.

Volley is nice, but really I didnt mind being single-target only on my hunter, in fact thats something I like about the hunter class.

IMO the changes to pets is full of fail, I hate cats as wowpets and I don't like the bubble-booty devilsaurs either.
The unlinking of auto from steady would have been great...if it wasnt bugged out causing steady to auto-target, so you have to uncheck autoattack which causes your autos to clip all over again.
Messing up hunter scaling is bad, no matter how you cut it, change to volley fine, change to readiness/bw more than fine (yes i know it was awesome to reset bw but thats just not 'working as intended' i dont believe, change was bound to come) The steady nerf is the only thing I have a big problem with, but what I want to know is ARE THEY FIXING THE BUGS?

All I want for xmas is my hunter how she used to be :(

In other news: I'm a little concerned about the cd on CoH for priests. Something has to be changed about it, it IS too powerful as it is now, but I'm afraid putting it to use once then can't be used again for 6sec is going to be too big a handicap. I would have prefered a sort of stacking debuff being put on it (similar to sated debuff but stacks to 3 before making the playing 'immune' so to speak) That way it would remain the oh crud button :)

Hunters arn't overpowered, you can look at the statistics for dps classes and see they all put out about the same DPS. Hunters are easier to itemize, scale up more quickly and thus can get better equ quicker then other classes, they are easy to theorycraft into finding the highest dps spec. What everyone is QQing about is that huntards (yes there are alot of them) are at the top of the meters with competent players. I have played with good and bad players of all classes and can see alot of good hunters going to other classes because they arn't able to contribute anything of value to a party that isn't done better by other classes. I don't want to be picked for a raid simply because no one else is available.

Side note, even with how OP everyone seems to think hunters are, I have only once been in a party with 2 hunters.

Thaaaank yooouuu! Someone gets it! It's not like we're ever far enough for other classes to catch up in DPS. I have never gotten top DPS in any instance, ever. ...Of course I have to keep Viper on to save my Mana... I lose all of it sing Volley. And if they go through with the Volley nerf, at least reduce the Mana cost. When I use AotV it does pitiful damage; when I use AotH I lose Mana. Either way, it looks like Hunters are gonna end, so all the whiners out there can get their wishes.
