You should read your logs better because clearly you missed something.
The Hunter that didn’t used Scorpid Pet did more damage than the Hunter using a Scorpid pet …
Being a Beast Master Hunter mean your pet do the majority of your damage. That’s the whole point of a Beast Master.
They didn’t nerf hunter, they fixed a scaling bug. It’s hilarious when a class is extremely busted, everyone knows it’s extremely busted but people still act like they had the short end of the stick when it’s finally fixed.
You missed that the top dps hunter’s pet was doing 56 dps, and the scorpid pet was doing 87. The top hunter seems to have picked a spell damage pet for the same reasons too, but lightning breath is doing 14 dps vs scorpid poison doing 48 dps.
Yes, the Serpent scaling also will get nerfed. It’s broken for the same reason.
That doesn’t justify hunters doing 150 dps while other classes can’t break 80. A certain level of jank and imbalance is expected. But there’s such a thing as too far and doubling the second best dps’s damage is far past that line.
They have literally the best dmg in the game and still they complain
Hahahahaha. I told you guys.
MM nerfed (it is not better than Clasic Wow)
Melee hunter is meme
BM was the only way to play because of pet. Right now what we have is Classic hunter.
There is 0 ability comes from SOD helps us to improve.
If you are asking at 25 hunters are best? My answer will be yes but it is not because of SOD, it is becausew of how classic works, like at 40 enha normally one shots you but they are not viable at 60 too.
For me there is no point playing because there is 0 difference between classsic hunter and sod hunter plus in this version people have new spells or things what you can’t do before (like running with drain life).
So as a conclusion, hunter will be bad on the next phase? Yes.
Even it will be okay, it will be 99% same with classic hunter. So is it going to be fun ? No.
Time to reroll and not disturb you with more hunter topics dear sir.
“Yes we’re op right now even after nerfs but we should be much more op then that because we might not get good lv.40 and lv.60 runes and then we might not be literally #1 dps anymore”
Ya hear I guess.
Not all of us do, some of us wanted the crutch to bad hunters nerfed (I.E scorpion pet).
I just hope Penance will get a nerf too now.
Bro I don’t know to you have disability to read or not. If you really have a problem in real life, sorry for this sentence.
In that sentence I am saying that in classic if you want to go twink lvl 19 29, you always choose hunter or rogue because they are best, either they one shot you or super powerful. They have Stealth range and huge damage etc
This topic is not related what SOD brings or what Sod will bring. because SOD didin’t add anything to hunters in terms of power or fun.
if they release Classic with max lvl 25 without any change, hunters will be best in that game too but again I am saying that this is not related with SOD.
The solution to balancing hunter is not having one specific type of bet benefitting from a bug and doing massively more dps than other pets. It’s not good game design to have Hunters completely broken in PVE and PVP due to one pet, it’s awful.
Hunters were the best dps in the game by a mile, even with the pet fixed they are still extremely good, maybe still the best at 25, because some players aren’t even using it as shown in that log posted above. This is Vanilla, if you end up not top damage at level 60, exactly who is surprised? It’s going to be Warriors, Mages and Rogues, get over it.
so far. You do know we’re getting new runes for new slots every phase, right? Hunter damage and gameplay is fine at 25. It didn’t need massive mechanical changes and dps buffs to become good in SOD at 25. Just like Enha at 40 will be fine.
They will add 2 more mele hunter rune thats all. All they do is adding BM rune to BM like if you say this in kindergarden as new idea, children will laught at you.
Well at 60 mage rogue warrior will be best in every content. Everybody know this. Even warlocks are used for advertising right now. But they won’t be good at 60 as usual. Their player base consist of so many warriors, they don’t want to lose money and that’s end of the conclusion. Hunter might reroll but warriors stop will playing so they will lose money, and they know this. Just wait 3 months and see how warriors are broken at 60.
They don’t try to balance, they just read the statistics. They don’t care who beats this. They are looking statistics and doing their changes.
What are you talking about? I know Warriors will be broken at 60, it’s Vanilla. Warriors will be broken at level 40. Nobody cares because that’s the game, the intention was never to stop Warriors being the king, it was to give other classes some opportunity to shine as well.
That seems to be happening and will be ongoing. They could take away Warrior’s runes and they would still likely be the best dps at 60.
They REMOVED all type of pet scaling, making all pets dogsh*t
Then they nerfed aspect of lion making it not even apply to the pets.
Hunters are utter dogsh*t now, might be middle of the pack dps wise at best
First time in my life, while reading post in forums, I disaggre in every way but at the same time agree to someone 
They didn’t “fix” the scaling bug affecting scorpions tho, They literally removed the entire pet scaling feature that they introduced in SoD. Nerfing the scorpion was absolutely warrented. Removing an entire feature and killing the class was kinda not.
Pet scaling was the only thing different compare to Classic wow for hunters. Who cares damage but there is no fun anymore.
Apperantly there is no queue on SOD, good news for people soon there will be lots of room for ally and horde in both servers.
Have you ever considered that they might put it back in when the math isn’t off by about two decimal points?
Well one would assume that SOD is an ongoing project and leaving hunters bad is not the goal either.
