Comparing WoD Survival to Retail (I'm almost in tears)

Classes Hunter
1

Here is how glorious the WoD kit was:

  • First of all, the strongest cooldown, Aspect of the Cheetah, 30% movement speed, 10 sec cd. No daze when you get hit.

  • 3 instant traps

  • Traps are placeable in front of you, which I can’t emphasize enough how much stronger it is than now.

  • Explosive Trap knockback distance is super long, and it never failed to knock anything except a big boy DK from time to time.

  • Snake Trap adds to the class fantasy, and annoys all your enemies by chasing and slowing them.

  • A Murder of Crows for all Hunter specs.
    The most defining Hunter cooldown and most infuriating ability in the game to be hit by.

  • Binding Shot is off the global cooldown. You can make so many plays with that. Easily stun a Warrior on his charge, use it in combination with Explosive Trap on that pesky Warlock that just won’t move.

  • Our mastery, Spirit Bond, is our most defining skill as a survivalist. And it actually does something in that expansion.

  • Survivalist passive giving you health every time you get a kill, making you feel like a true survivalist.

  • Frozen Arrows were OP, I get it. Still fun.

  • 2 Deterrence charges. Also sick animation.

  • Glaive Toss also looked cool. I do prefer the old Chakrams though, rest in peace to both of them.

  • Aspect of the Fox. Hands down, the best utility spell in the game, ever. And they took it away, just like that. No replacement, in any shape or form. Just gone.

What does a Hunter bring to the raid today? An ugly and irritating arrow that’s completely unnecessary on a boss that takes up half the room.

Wod was my favorite SV for PvP
Dots that actal does somethink
If you got Black arrow, poisen and a stack of explosive up, people actually drop
You could kite meeles eaven without frozen ammo
Possibility of lone wolf ->pet buggs and cc on them is annoying to deal with
Camo was 100% uptime if you stay in it the full duration you could press it again
Was it not 4 traps ? Idk

With Frozen Ammo you could kite 3 melee comfortably.

Bruva, no bruva, why bruva!!!
I am almost literally crying right now. SV WoD was probably the most fun I have had in the game on any class since I started playing in TBC.

I remember in stormshield, chilling with another hunter showing him how to do Korean Knockback Traps into more CC, and how to kite in general. He discovered the ridiculousness of the spec and bossed it.

Please bring back WoD SV, I had such a fun time kiting melee endlessly, nothing was better than frustrating those demonic BoS Rogues. Shout out to Frost DK then too, they were literally cracked.

Just to say that anyone who doesn’t PvP will never understand how good SV WoD was. Even those that do PvP but play MM or BM, no one will understand how good it was unless you actually put time into it in WoD. If you never played WoD then you missed out BIG TIME!

I remember dueling Frost DK’s took closer to 5 minutes.
