Yet another week of watching 484 S3 gear out-perform the S4 bonuses that some galaxy brains (I know we’re hunters but come on lads) voted for.
Either buff this trash set or give us back S3, at least that was fun.

It’s not our fault. They said “Please keep in mind that we’re going to update the power of the set bonuses to match the increased power of the new gear in Season 4, so any bonuses you choose will be tuned to be as strong as any others.”
They must keep this promise. Billion dollar company, they just need to fix 2 number. They don’t care, if there was a problem with mage they would fix it in 2 hours!
Honestly I see it as 100% our fault, anyone reading that should have chosen a set bonus that added to the gameplay and not cuz it was ‘bis’ 3 seasons ago.

I don’t understand why so many people discuss whose fault it is or what was promised. There is something wrong - fix it Blizzard. Either by tuning numbers or by changing the set bonus completely. It’s that simple.
The Season 1 tier doesn’t make sense for PvP either, even though that’s much more single-target focused, as you have to actually be in melee range or have Eagle up to utilize it. And you want to be in melee range as little as possible.
Hell, up until this Wednesday, the tier set was actually bugged with Eagle.
So that tells you how much Blizzard totally overlooks this spec.
You are the one how goes for free candy in s f up mini van with dark windows
How tiny have a brain too be too vote for a set with 0 gameplay interaction because numbers where big if you sayed numbers would be tuned so they alrdy stated you maybe got nothing like we have it atm
Jk i am just mean sry
Yep. Voting for season 1 was dumb, not because of it’s current weakness, but simply because it would need a full rework to be viable in anything but raids. The set was bad already in s1 except for very specific single-target situations.
That being said though, this whole situation is 100% Blizzards fault. There is no reason for them to not buff the set except for the simple fact that it’s been prioritized so low. They probably know it’s weak and decided it’s just simply not high enough of a priority with the alpha and the MoP Remix. People wouldn’t be as mad about the S1 set if it wasn’t so weak.
Even with the set being restored to it’s old S1 version, it would still be a dps loss overall in M+. That’s just because of how the class works. Bombs are simply too strong now compared to Mongoose Bite. Even if they buff the set, it still won’t be enough for us to switch from S3. That’s just how good the S3 set is. The only fix, imo, is to restore the S3 set. I don’t think any amount of balancing can fix the S1 set, it was flawed in it’s very concept. It’s an amazing talent → Free Mongoose bites are fun. It shouldn’t be a tier set.

Agree completely
You can blame both the community (EU and US since they had separate votes) and Blizz for this.
Malicious players who never played Survival could vote for anything they wanted. With all their alts!
In the U.S. they call this gerrymandering.
Totally Agree, they could have contacted every SV main in EU personally. I mean how many are we - 20, 30? Stopped this season with M+ - it takes way too long to find a group as SV. ATM: Even with the “better” s3 Bonus we are severed behind the 2nd worst spec
Never understood the love for the S1 set bonus. Maybe it was PvP. S3 felt way smoother.
It is baffling to me since everyone who has mained survival this expansion could easily tell how much of survivals power has been moved to bombs over the course of DF. The idea that S1 could in any way match S3 is just strange. They could never balance S1 to match S3 set. It’s superior in every single way, the entire design of the tier set just works so much better with our kit and our passives, like the bleed from crit damage.
But the fact that S3 is still better than S1 in ST is just because of Blizzard negliance. That could easily be remedied with a quick number fix. I don’t understand why they haven’t done that, atleast. I can accept that S3 is stronger in AoE situations. It shouldn’t be stronger in ST situations.
I feel like a lot of people who voted for the s4 survival tier set were not actually survival players. The majority of hunters don’t play survival and are never likely to, and yet I know plenty of players who felt the need to vote for “something” for all 3 specs. The voting was a stupid idea from Blizz and it’s sad that you guys are suffering for it.
I rly start feeling in PvP sv damage really fell off, stqrt of the season bevor all player got there 4 set it was good
Atm. I miss 15%damage too be scary
That’s exactly it. Griefers and PvE players who remember being top DPS at single-target (raid boss) fights, completely disregard PvP players who can’t stand in someone’s face and press Mongoose Bite 24/7.
Also S3 tier was much better for M+. I always pulled highest DPS even in high keys. This should never have been a vote. And for people to expect Blizz to buff anything, like they promised. Unbelievable.
