Even more the attack on the move became part of it. The problem is because of all the tools they had they where, and remained, the hardest class to master in PvP. Personally I think that is a fair trade off. An unskilled hunter was feel kill and a skilled hunter was unbeatable. It was great design if you ask me.<br /><br />People keep talking top end and that makes sense for top tend players, but think of the average player in PvP or less than average player, like me. Whenever I see a hunter I scream "free kill" and it always is a free kill.<br /><br />So balancing for the end top level just makes the free kill hunters even worse now. That and the removal of most of our abilities makes hunters the biggest joke in the game in PvP and now PvE as well.<br /><br />But, with all that said, this is a PvE game. They should never destroy a class for PvE because they are worried about PvP balance. Screw PvP balance or fix it the way it should have been fixed 10 years ago when it was first designed, have abilities hit players for a different amount than they hit mobs. There was absolutely no reason to nerf hunters.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-30939417725146983542014-08-23T09:49:35.572-04:002014-08-23T09:49:35.572-04:00Besides the general nerf in damage vs same and hig...Besides the general nerf in damage vs same and higher level opponents, I think taking Hunters back a notch has to do with the easiest way for a themepark MMORPG to provide emergent content ie PvP.<br /><br />I know PvP isn't your forte, but with MoP and the removal of dead-zone (after everything and its mother becoming shot-on-the-run, even things like Steady Shot) Hunters became rediculously OP in PvP in basically all brackets (previously they tappered off in the last stretch of levels), also due to the copious amounts of CC and 'get out of jail' cards they still have to cope with these now-removed weaknesses.<br /><br />With WoD's PvP goal being less CC and less damage, Classes that had the most CC and damage are seemingly harder hit than other classes.<br /><br />If all classes become equally viable at most/all brackets that would be an improvement.NetherLandsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-9889218884440043302014-08-22T13:55:07.864-04:002014-08-22T13:55:07.864-04:00Can't really say if they were smaller or large...Can't really say if they were smaller or larger, did not look that close to tell you the truth. lol And you can't notice through armor anyway.

I can always play an alt, even if I do not want to, but I would rather play a hunter and two of the tree specs are not fun and one is basically horrible. That is more of an issue than numbers. Numbers can be adjusted at the last minute, rotations can not. We need that fixed now otherwise we are doomed to an entire expansion with only one spec worth playing, number or play style wise.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-35542096802012105262014-08-22T11:54:22.729-04:002014-08-22T11:54:22.729-04:00It's not all mages at the top, it's frost ...It's not all mages at the top, it's frost mages at the top and arcane and fire hanging out middle of the pack.

Looks like they are jumping right back into the problem that started this need for a stat squish by giving insane increases on gear.<br /><br />I have not had the occasion to actually test my hunter in a raid so all I can do is read what people post and look at the numbers they link. Seems that hunters are rather low no matter where you look. Mages are insanely over powered.<br /><br />I would like them to give MM its heart back. First would be changing the mastery to something else, heck anything else. I like the idea of making it piercing shots and the mastery increases the damage of them. Then let the abilities interact with each other again. Steady focus and master marksmen to start with. That could help some.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-43089621170508976032014-08-22T10:04:33.366-04:002014-08-22T10:04:33.366-04:00Just for the record, it's not only hunters tha...Just for the record, it's not only hunters that got nerfed, but almost every spec, they probably felt that overall damage was still too high and nerfed everyone.<br /><br />As far as I'm conerned, during the last testing, bar the few odd spec that were obviouslt broken (frost mage, DK) most of the raid was doing around th same DPS, me as hunter being in the top 5, other hunter perfoming good aswell.<br /><br />I don't feel like hunter damage is the problem, more that ppl want specs to feel different, but doesn't want his spec to be changed. (Well I agree that MM is boring right now, but I like what they did with SV which is a spec a loathed for years now)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
