Hunters in 5.3?

[Franciska]

Why do Hunters even get defensive here for? They are getting buffed, they shouldn't be complaining. Comparing Hunters to other OP shit as Hpals/Resto and Feral Druids and high agility Rogues, doesn't invalide the fact that Hunters are OP. Hunters have no cast times, nobody has anything to lock their schools with except if you disarm them with pets. Mages and Locks respective still need to stand still for most casts, receive 70% pushback on hit.

On a sidenote....wasps and bats still stun you know?

Hunters aren't getting buffed, I'd much rather have it the way it is now. Oh, and wasp and bat stun works now as well, removal of intim doesn't affect them at all -- as they doesn't DR.

Why are you comparing frostmages 3 gcd worth of burst against a hunters 9 gcd burst?

Because the pet makes my 2sec Frostbolt into a 3.5sec cast and my 1.7sec Sheep into a 3sec cast with his melee hits. Not like Poly would actually work though, because if I get it off on the hunter, it's getting trinketed and if I get it off on the pet Bullheaded instantly removes it anyways (same for Nova on the pet). Otherwise I could rather easily kill a retarded hunter, but no, I can't.


This was the last thing I'm gonna say about this topic, just wanted to clear this up, as it seemed not so prominent why it's so hard for a caster to fight a hunter and I even edited my post to dis-emphasize the 'cata-huntard' part...

Let me break it down for you. Hunter has been a strong class since the beginning of the game. They became stronger in Cata due to their change is resource used. Yes absurd damage from every ability didnt help, but now its been toned down to a reasonable level. What truly makes a hunter what it is today is FOCUS. When they had mana, things had cooldowns on them, now they generally dont have a cooldown but at the cost of an easily renewable resource.


and really, this mage arguement is rediculous. hunters by design completely shit on mages. its been that way since day 1. how does a class designed to kite kill a class that cant be kited. kthxbye have a nice day
