Hunter has got alot of nerfs regarding the pet, imho we should nerf pets more and buff hunter damage. Just minute ago some poor lock wanted to kill me in ashenvale and i just sent my BM pet in and he got soloed by my pet in few seconds panicking trying to run away. I personally would like to do more dmg than my pet, ofcourse the issue is pvp where hunter with huge shots or pet doing huge dmg is overpowered. Though if its hunter doing most of the dmg it could be dealt with easier than pet chasing you with 80dps and hunter kiting you or shooting you down from range.
Ofcourse how scaling works were going to be left behind soon (especially pets) so buffing hunter damage would be making sense.
yea.
try fighting melee with a deadzone and no cc.
the pet is there for that. at 25 its balanced for that purpose. it will scale less as the talents evolve.
i dont like bm playstyle, ofc. its dull asf. blizzard completely failed hunters in making something new - but balancewise, this is the correct result when they leave the lack of cc and a deadzone on the class.
Its evident that Ollipa, is adruid, is expressing grievances about hunters, despite not being one. Im certain he played as the warlock, not the hunter. These druids must cease their complaints, as they seem to criticize paladins, hunters, and priests alike.
Its worth noting that hunters are currently in a good state. Why not express concerns about druids instead? The only class that warrants complaints, in my opinion is the druid – nothing more! I can’t help but suspect that you are a druid or warlock player, given that if you were a hunter player, you would never complain about hunters in their current state.
Mate, first off - the warlock was either running a really bad spec or he was severely undergeared.
With that out of the way - “send pet in and afk the best gameplay” - compared to what? How complex do you think classic is? Especially at this level? I’d say managing the pet so it doesn’t get killed in PvP is more complicated than most class’ rotations. Hyperbole ofc, but it’s not far from the truth.
Also, are we talking group pvp or duels here? Duels will never be balanced, so put that crap aside. In group play - if your group won’t kill the pet in the 2 seconds it takes after the nerfs, that’s a problem with your group. It will render the hunter almost useless for up to a minute since he has to res the pet, heal it and also feed it.
Pets just feel very intrusive, I get it. I’d probably blow a fuse or two as well, but your solution to shift power from pet to hunter wouldn’t work. You’d have a gimped version of MM. You’d need a full rework of BM to get around this, which I’m not against I suppose.
I’m glad BM is playable in SoD.
What they need to do however is increase the hunter involvement in pet dmg like on retail. It’s just too passive currently.
To doubters, i do play hunter, druid and paladin on lvl 25 now.
Whole post was not about nerfing hunters, it was about making MM viable (as in the better option to bm) with runes and buffing hunter damage and nerfing pet damage rather than let pets do it all as that BM playstyle is very dull and doesnt feel good especially in pvp.
Also lone wolf is worst additions to the game (retail or sod), hunter should always be played with pet and balancing hunter damage around lone wolf aint the way.
agree. its embarrasingly afk’ish to play. booring and unengaging and exactly like being a bot. ive avoided playing it for anything but RFK farming.
this i agree with too - MM needs solid buffs. if the damagespec is BM in p2, we are fubared again. the nurfhammer will strike several times and make the class unplayable in pve. they seem unable to understand how to build hunter.
the idea is fine, IF it compensates for the lack of a pet. it doesnt at all now. it started as 25% which was underwhelming, and for no reason at all, was nurfed to 15% - proving no one at blizzard plays a hunter - and it has no abillity to compensate for no pet and cc, and having a dz.
lone wolf should be 30%, with a leap on a 15-20 sec cd, and 5% dodge or 5% movementspeed with reduced impairment. and be the staple of the survivaltree for melee (/spit) hunters.
(before u whine, thats an ironic spit)
no u dont.
steelarrow hits hard but ure dps as MM is not anywhere near what it should be. u just have not been in raids with proper sweaty warriors pulling max parses and seen what the gap is.
It’s like people forget the toolkit they have to deal with it and then come to these forms to whine and complain because they are embarrassed they died to a pet.
cry more, and we get BM nerfs again. thats what huntering is like, always was. the only pure dps class will b mid-tier and we play buffbots again. HotL & TSA LFR
no u dont.

According to the last leaked logs, MM is at very high dps possition. If you don’t agree ,it might be a skill issue . Also ,tell us what exactly a 25 lvl MM hunter should look like without core talents lol
leaked logs?
ACTUAL logs show u how wrong you are, and yes, that is a skillissue. the skill to understand logs and abillities
in warcraftlogs ull find that marksman is now 4th of the dps, faaaaar behind warrior and rogue, and now ferals.
and thats not MM. its BM with meleeweaving. MM isnt on the list.
the rest of yr nonsense just confused me. what are u on abt?
well… I am not top player or anything. Just casual trying to get better numbers here and there bust mostly I just dont follow guides and I am kind of lazy as well… with all this explained I can tell you that I am now full MM with 0 melee weaving and really mean 0
from what ever reason I can not add links or images but MM parses are 96.9
yes, it is. when asked why they dont use cc and evasions, they say they dont wanna use their cd’s. /shrug
