Hunters in 5.3?

[Dorigon]

As for the aspect buff, it isn't a merely 26 attack power, its more.

Assuming 280 AP for simple math without aspect...

280 AP * 1.15% current = 42 AP gain (322 AP total)
280 AP * 1.25% next patch = 70 AP gain. (350 AP total)

Excuse me, 28 attack power buff. Sorry, off by three.

I posted that, because you all forget that hunters ALREADY ARE the single best pure DPS class. And I already see more SV hunters than BM in bgs, they already do ~300-500 (including 1 or 2 crits) with ES in total (in semi-BiS gear obviously) now make BM unplayable and you'll only have SV in bgs running around shooting 400 ESs on you while spamming Arcanes for 200s (they're already at 100/200 crit easily) and don't forget they still have Scatter, Conshotspam and Pet Abilites, not forgetting Track Hidden, Disengage+mountspeed and Hunter's Mark for extra AP.

The 10% AP buff itself is not the real problem, the problem is, that Blizzard is buffing an already strong class...

I can't speak on behalf of EU, but I'd say well around 70% of the US hunters are BM..

I think they should give hunter Powershot
(Removing it from talents).

Make it an ability available at lvl20.

Go cry to your mommys...

Delete Thread.

Why dont you get off the thread? Who do you think you are, some west side wannabe?

 

[Gulbon]

It's kinda' scary. I remember how hunters were when I joined the F2P-24 community mid-cata... Doesn't seem as bad, but even now, any hunter with a brain is scary.

This is bad news for my arms warrior. :< And seems like the hunter I was planning on making is getting scrapped out the window since I hate FoTM classes.

Havent you heard yet? Thrill of the Hunt will be lvl 1 abillity...

While I do understand your reasoning, I would have to respectfully disagree with you. Hunters are getting a 10% increase to attack power which is indeed good but I don't think that qualifies as a "MASSIVE" buff. The battle fatigue jump is very nice, but I don't think that reasoning for damage only applies to hunters. Will we see more hunters? Probably, I wouldn't say there will be a huge increase percentage wise, but we will probably see slightly a few more than we do now.

 

[Zatox]

Would you people for the love of God stop making threads like this.

No, hunters will not be like they were in cata.

No, 10% increase to AotH is not a big deal.


NO, BM is not better then SV.

 

[Oneshot20]

Stop being a pussy and play your class man! We will survive each patch.

25-30 more AP is going to add about 15 more damage (5 per tick) to explosive shot, and maybe 3-4 damage to Arcane Shot against someone with 40% baseline resil. They wont be cata hunters, but the changes to healing/resil will potentially put them at the same spot in the food chain - the strongest DPS class in a game dominated by strong DPS.

I don't see how the battle fatigue increase/resil nerf makes other pure DPS any less viable. Hunters will be the best pure DPS after the resil/battle fatigue changes because they already are.

Healers/hybrids will be pressured more, which limits the amount of damage they can do. It'll be kind of like healing through a Mortal Strike debuff right now. MS can oom my hpal, make me use penance for healing instead of DPS on my priest (which is saying something because I just queue my priest once in awhile to derp around DPSing), and make my boomkin significantly less invincible.

Classes with good offensive CC will be buffed. Hybrid survivability will be nerfed. Bad healers will be much worse. Good healers will have to heal.

many said the 10% buff to ES wasnt going to make a difference now they lay dead in BGs

They should release spirit so they can rez.

Survival is better than BM in this patch by a long shot so in 5.3 People will feel the wrath. Theclawer {LORD OF THE TRIALS} has taken down druids olike poledancer easy so that means with any type of buff - Hunters will return. In cata BM was good but Survival was always better - The same is now and in 5.3

you're dumb

I'm gonna start counting stupid threads like this and see if it gets to the same numbers cata saw.. I've come to the conclusion people just like to bitch about hunts. We could be losing 10% Ap and ppl would still make threads like this "OMG 10% AP nerf and they are still OP"

It's either a conspiracy or hunter are really annoying to face. Or maybe people just like to bitch about things like healer, premades, 24s, opposing faction and jajas.
