Nerf hunter pets already

He asked for a video with a sham deleting low hp people in a matter of seconds.
You really pop up in every nerf hunter thread and derail every post from its intention.

Show us your gear.
I can delete people in leveling zones with my BFD geared pala too , if I get close to them (not even BiS).
Now the thing with hunters is that they will delete you even with greens.
Also who the hell are you fighting there, bots?
Hunter runs in melee range before pet, rogues runs in at you like he is warrior.

It’s not my vid, again I was answering Sosham who asked for a video about a sham deleting low geared players.

I can assure you there is a diff. between low geared and BFD geared hunters. Maybe less than other classes but still.

Same as the main video of this thread where you see a pet killing some 600 hp mage doing nothing but running.

He would have done nothing even if he did not run , serpent has ranged attack that does insane damage while he has lot of hp , also there were people who tried to fight him. And it was Ashenvale , not Wetalnds where mostly fresh people go to do quests.

He has less than 638 hp, it’s pretty easy to calc, you see all the hits.
He would have been dead in a lava burst global.
Also LB is a 20y range 50 focus ability that does ~160 in this case (with orc racial), it’s high damage but I wouldn’t call it insane.

Hey , I know shamans can do good damage , I am not even here to argue it as I have encountered them, but they are not even close to hunters.

Hunters have pets and autoshot that’s it (and 10s cd multi that’s autoshot dmg).
Yes they do good damage with a very high uptime, but the fact is that any BFD geared class can delete low hp players, shams included.

I doubt that feral and priest can delete anything.
Maybe full Bi feral can delete 1 person , but he will be out of energy .
Again , hunter does not need even good gear to do high damage.
Also saying that hunter does not do lot of damage with his own attacks is complete bs too , he does tons of damage with all of his openers and his attacks are quite fast.
Even if his auto shot is lets say 90 dmg his fast attack speed and other skills make 90 X 5 in matter in 2 sec
Its like saying pala auto does insane damage , sure it hits hard, but it is way, way slower

Not sure I follow you. There is autoshot and multishot that’s just a 10s cd autoshot. Serpent sting does 16 dmg every 3s and arcane shot is 33 dmg on a 6s cd and not worth pressing at 50 mana (both don’t scale with RAP).

His fast attack speed also makes a 2 sec lava burst cast into a 4 sec+ lavaburst cast, followed by 4 seconds of doing nothing.

My point is that hunter does tons of damage with openers and his auto shoot is not weak either, as it is fast attacks.

Just for laugh

Haha the part were he was fighting a warrior so sadge…
Thats how hunters play and its super degenerate they send pet and run ggs

I remember retail dont remember which expansion where all hunters were running bm and in arena were just hiding behind pillars and w8ing for pets to kill or dampening and they were saying that hunter is fine xD

You shouldnt argue with hunters or with ppl that support them there is a reason they play hunter my dude :stuck_out_tongue:

Huntards are truly living up to the stereotype defending and thinking this nonsense is ok :rofl:

Thats obvious

The bit you miss tho is someones doing that through mind controlling the pet i.e 0 risk to own death, while the other classes have to put the risk down.

Does that mean nerf the only thing making the class good? No. But hunter needs a rebalance. It has like 3 good runes and 1 singular good build, because the class is 99% pet. Lol

The runes wonky and has caused more problems then helped. Rework the rune and rebalance the hunter and while at it improve on lone wolf to make it a competitive choice.

Hunter will become garbage having that rune hit, because the only thing overpowered is the pet itself and thats to level out how bad the hunter is lol.

Other hunter runes need buffing and this one needs brjng down and things need shuffling around to rebalance the hunters skillset.

Hunters are strong in low level. And fall off late game, what hunter needed was things which scaled well to stop that repeating, not more bulked into non-scaling factors late game.

That rune promotes serious degenerate play, and yes you can counter it, u can hard CC the pet and killing the hunter is easy. But thats another problem all together lol.

Hunter doesnt need nerfs, it needs shuffling around and that rune needs reworking while the nessercary improvements to other runes are made.

It looks nice on edits/meme videos that fish for likes and I agree that it was very good when scorp poison formula was broken, but now it’s not as great as ppl think it is, especially without boon.
Sure you can kill ungeared players but that’s not all of them, and a pet is high maintenance, if it dies it costs you money.

On top of that if you cast eye of the beast from too far away and your game has to reload assets, you will get disconnected and cause a desync between your character on client and server side. That’s the #1 reason I stopped doing it, most of the time you don’t encounter any player you can kill and spend a lot of time relogging and running back to spot.

I agree that hunters need more options than BM, but a BM pet should remain a threat because it’s the whole point of the spec. It should be less automated though, like turning KC into its retail version. But then ppl will complain that SoD looks too much like retail, which is a balanced version of the game with actual gameplay even on a spec that does 80% of its dmg through pets.

This class is fine, the windserpant Player does good dmg while His pet the Hunter is Just a Targetdummy , everything fine here

I’m more curious why that guy is wearing druid T2 shoulders, and his action bar have several duplicates, including passive runes (chest runes), health hitting about 1900 unbuffed when with close to BiS gear in tank mode hit around 1500.

However, it’s not wrong. If i’m lucky as a shaman, i can pop off 600+ damage with Lava Burst + Overload proc, and that is without any spell damage gear.

Problem? 2 second cast time, need to set up, rely on a 50% chance to double proc.

Hunters just have to let their pet to their work.

You must be new round these parts.

It’s the modus operandi for WoW players as a whole.

There are addons that let you customize your look if I’m not mistaken.

Idk, there is the tauren racial aswell but it’s only 5%. Maybe he prioritized stam gear, it should scale pretty well with both the rune and the racial.

Its much more than 2 sec cast time against any class that can pushback cast time.
