I still enjoyed the other classes, but if you don’t I guess that’s an option.
Remember to donate your gold before you quit!
i have no idea whats better, never tried a shammy tbh, but seems to me the 2h dmg with that speed makes for insane damage for 30 sec.
yea, not that much of it but i sure will if it gets to that
It is not as insane as it first looks. Shaman with 2h has no hit chance whatsoever from talents unless they decide to get 3% from Resto but then they give up on having even a max rank flurry.
So unless there is a considerable amount of hit from gear in the raid you’d most likely be looking at a spam of miss all over your screen. 10% hit and 852 AP at level 40 will trump the mace for sure. Also there are the mace/fist skill gloves for less glancing blows… no chance Automatic Crowd Pumeler will be much to look at compared to dual wield.

makes sense, yea. prolly going to get weapon oils or smthn similar but ure stil prolly no more than 5% hit, and i guess ur capped at 9 with 2H?
Sry but u saw the shield rune? the new Exo runes and the Wp you will get from SthV Eve?
Dude your burst will be insane and your defense too
Many will die while Hodge
Let’s say 5% as most mobs(except bosses) will be our level and that is still tricky to come up with.
Oh and I literally need to pick my rear cheeks off the ground after laughing so hard, there is a one hander that is .46 dps lower the Automatic Crowd Pummeler. Yeaaaaaaaa dual wield it is.
steady shot has a chance to be huge if only if the macro works like it did in TBC if so thenits faceroll time
well. its 60% of an autoattack, and it shares a slot with expose weakness.
im not sure which of these great runes u will go with. but u will have to choose one. im taking that as a f u from devs.
I love lock runes. Felguard, crit on dots, unstable Affliction, shadowflame god damn. But that shadowstep on rogue is also cool xd
Looking at the datamined runes Hunter is the big losers in phase 2.
They get mostly melee improvements, but not enough to compete against the pure melee classes imo.
Ranged will be weaker than all ranged spellcasters.
Only interesting part is the new trap expert rune, mostly for pvp.
Shamans are also abit on the losing side when compairing to the other classes, mostly ele because of bad rune sharing placement and resto shaman.

I dont know - all this effort and wild new abilities. And for what ? so we can run RFK, Scarlet Monastery for the 1000th time and have one raid on a three day lockout?
I think people will be done with SoD P2 in about 3 weeks. We then spend another 4 months raid logging an army of alts
How can we spend 4month raidlogging when 1 Phase is 2 month? And i dont think ppl are done after 3 weeks 
. Until this day ppl do Wpvp etc in P1. P2 will even be better and fun. Also lvling Takes much longer
well according to their rough schedule pic, lvl50 will come out in “spring”. this could be anything between April to June i guess. So 4 months in the worst case.
levelling 25 to 40 takes what, 2-3 days /played?
The tokens will mean that people are raid geared very quickly.
There are 2 dungeons (3 if you count Uldaman) - Monastery loop and RFK. Both pretty trivial and boring
On the whole i think there is not much to do. But then there is a ton full of goofy new runes with no new content to apply them other than a small raid, which is 10 man and 6 bosses - so will be on 20min-30min farm within the first 3 weeks
I hope “spring means” April and we can move to P3 in 5-6 weeks but i doubt it. Theres money to be made …
On the whole i am beginning to think this phasing, everyone crowding at the bracket end and artificial “endgame BiS” grind that means raidlogging an army of alts for 30min raid runs is a mistake and Vanilla is the better game.
All those runes just introduce wild imbalances and there is little to no actual new content to play where you would need them.
STV event is just /facepalm. Just demonstrates to me how far today’s devs are removed from the original vision of WoW
I’m so done after phase 2 it’s been a good journey
Nay, if i’m defending a base, it’s a Trap Hunter i want standing next to me.
Why they didn’t mention anything about Arathi Basin ?
u forgot to look at raidloot and crafted - the agility is reduced by the amount of strength put on it. what does a ranged hunter gain from strength?
ye, specced into surv for a 1v1 pvp build, the cc will be good. the one thing the class will have left.
Maybe they are just playing into the meme of Hunters being smoothbrain easy mode by giving us the most simplistic playstyle.

Like, in my opinion if they want to make melee hunters a thing then every single rune they add in for melee hunters would need to add in one new ability and change a ranged ability into a melee ability. If they did that then we might have the amount of melee abilities and complexity of rotation and utility to compete with rogues and warriors but these two datamined runes are just… Extremely questionable. My little example of the rotation up above is not a joke really, that’s what a Hunter rotation will be as melee. We don’t even have a charge (harpoon) or disengage. Melee hunter is a joke of a spec if these runes are true.
Blizzard, if you want Melee Hunters to be a thing then you have to actually try to make them a viable class and not just a meme.
they arent making it a thing even. its MANDATORY.
look at itemization. u gain nothing from strength if u play a real hunter, using a ranged weapon. but all ure raidloot and new crafted gear has strength on it, where it should be pure agility. so u will scale half as well as u need to with gear, for yr ranged attacks.
unless someone datamines a QoL book that converts strength to 2 RAP, we all stay doing raptorstrike spam on some hindleg while the REAL melee hates us for taking their strengthgear and melee weapons.
Everyone goes crazy on this information on wowhead which is obviously wrong.
If these runes come out in P2 that would be crazy and not logical.
Sure all of them will be in game at some point but not in P2 that would be way to early and will completely unbalance the game at lvl 40
