Hi,
Has uncle blizz touched your hunter inappropriately? Are you wanting to quit or reroll? Do you have a lot of questions?
This is a safe place where Hunters can come to vent and to speak about their truly awful treatment from uncle blizz.
4 nerfs and SoD isn’t even a week old kekw
I hate that the dataminded dream of the Melee hunter didn’t come to pass.
Like how am I supposed to stack flanking strike with a on hit Raptor strike
somebody stole my damage
Get a 3.0 - 3.5 speed weapon, pretty much. The reset chance being low-ish I wouldn’t mind, but the damage of Flanking Strike damage is behaving weird. It’s either broken and doing half damage it should, or it’s splitting your own weapon damage between you and your pet and I can’t decide which one is worse.
Flanking strike does about 50% of the weapon’s damage currently, and it doesn’t work properly for pet either.
But don’t worry, Explosive shot, Chimera shot, kill command and AotL have been properly nerfed.
That’s what I said, yes.
Is the Aspect change documented anywhere? Or was it a stealth change. The shot nerfs suck for the folk who wanted to use them, I’m personally lucky in that respect because I came for the melee hunter and that’s what I will keep using even if it ends up underwhelming (but it’s been okay so far, even with the most likely bugged flanking strike)
Well there is no queue anymore in SOD. I think blizzard need support 
Sorry, I read your message too quickly.
No, whether for the scorpid poison nerf or AotL which no longer applies to the pet, no announcement it seems to me. Probably Wednesday after server maintenance.
I also play melee, but clearly Blizzard doesn’t seem to have the slightest desire to steer the hunter in that direction.
Flanking strike could need a rework too.
like keep the reset on RS, scrap the DMG amp and giv it mana regain on hit during the duration. that would make it actually useful and it could even stay as bugged as it is currently
you mean fixes of op garbo?
Chimera shot OP?
Pet Scalling OP?
AotL on the pet OP?
Flanking Strike who does 50% weapons damage OP?
Just checking in-game, looks like the rumours of them disabling pet scaling entirely are exaggerated. I unequipped all my gear and my pet’s sheet DPS went down by 2, which about tracks with my own loss. I’m using an owl from Teldrassil, and it’s still doing like 30-ish % of my damage.
So the melee hunter DPS isn’t actually awful. Haven’t run the raid yet, as I’m still leveling, but running Deadmines I was doing like 70-75 DPS on bosses (which are admittedly all cleave fights), and around 100 DPS on trash at lvl 21. I’m wearing mostly crafted greens around ilvl 20, Woodsman Sword, 83 agility, 134 total AP, running SV spec for the Raptor Strike crit, and using Flanking Strike and Carve runes. The biggest issue to me currently seems mana sustain, Carve goes through mana like mad.
Edit: Honestly, could probably go higher and save mana too by swapping Carve for Beast Mastery, but I don’t want to /laugh
Yes? Hunter is already the strongest DPS in Classic until lvl 60 even without pet scaling.
you might be thinking it’s fine that your pet doing 60%+ overall dmg by abusing bugs 
they need more nerfs still waaaay to OP.
Hardly, with the Scorpion Sting nerf/fix, hunter should be roughly in line with every other class when it comes to DPS.
Looks like the scaling and Aspect of the Lion changes have been reverted.
It is fine, what else is the purpose of BM if not for the pet do do good dmg?
it’s not fine when your pet outdps every other class thanks to BUG
So buff the other classes, why do I have to have less fun so others can have more?
